How much sodium is in Factor meals?
The sodium content of our meals can be viewed on the nutrition facts label. Currently, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends consuming 2,300 mg of sodium or less per day for healthy adults. Factor’s meals average around 800 mg of sodium per meal, which can help you stay within this recommendation. We always recommend speaking with your doctor prior to ordering our meals to ensure we are a good fit!
Are your meals entered into nutrition apps?
We currently enter our meals into LoseIt and Carb Manager - if you use any of these apps, then you don't have to enter in the macros for individual meals, as we do that work for you! Simply search “Factor, [Meal Name]” to find our meals. (Ex: Factor, Shredded Chicken Taco Bowl)
How do I view ingredients and nutrition information?
You can view full nutritional information for each meal by visiting our menu! Click on the thumbnail image of any meal you're interested in, and the details for that meal will pop up on the screen.
What if I have an allergy?
Allergen information is listed on the website and on the physical packaging. As noted in our Terms and Conditions, we strongly recommend that customers with food allergen sensitivities or restrictions carefully review individual product packages for the most updated information regarding ingredients and allergen declaration before consuming. Additionally, we recommend reviewing the ingredient list on our website, prior to selecting meals, to determine if they contain any ingredients you are unable to consume.
Do you offer plans for people with special requirements?

Transparency is important to Factor, and we make it our priority to provide as much nutrition information to our customers about every ingredient in every recipe as possible.

Because an expansive amount of dietary preferences and dietary needs exist, we may not be able to accommodate specific needs. We leave it to our customers to review the ingredients and determine with their healthcare team which meals best meet their dietary needs.

Can I customize my meals?

Yes! Some of our meals are customizable. For example, you may have the option to swap the protein for an alternative. If a meal is eligible for customization, you'll see a dropdown menu at the bottom of the recipe preview that lets you make the change.

Keep in mind that swapping the protein can affect the meal’s nutrition and ingredient profile, which may impact the dietary category it falls under.
