Here's why you no longer have to stand at the stove every day with Grow Food.

What's the problem? Just think, cook dinner, there is work for half an hour

Let's be honest: it usually takes not half an hour, but a little more. On average it is spent on cooking What countries do you like to cook in the most? 6.5 hours a week. Throw in grocery shopping, dish washing and menu planning. You could spend this time on more interesting and enjoyable activities.

A separate topic is the cost of food that you buy and then throw away. Key facts on food loss and waste you should know a third of the food produced in the world every year. In Russia, this figure is slightly lower - according to the Federal State Statistics Service, we are thrown out. Overeat fruit from 20 to 25% of products.

The task of ready-to-eat food delivery services is to provide you with a varied meal for the whole day so that you do not have to spend energy, time and money buying groceries and preparing food, some of which you will probably throw away.

It turns out that they will bring me breakfast, lunch, and dinner?

Or even more. For example, Grow Food, which we wrote these cards with, has menu options for four, five, and six meals.

In addition to breakfast, lunch and dinner, this includes snacks during the day: lunch and afternoon tea. In the diet for those who are on the mass, there are also drinks: lemonade, iced tea or a protein shake. You can even forget about visits to the store - you will be provided with food for the whole week.

Wait, are they bringing food for a week? Yes, it will deteriorate

The courier delivers ready meals two or three times a week - depending on the menu chosen. Grow Food uses gas-modified environment technology and containers are hermetically sealed. Food stays fresh for several days, but it is better to store it in the refrigerator.

There is no need to wash a mountain of dishes after lunch or dinner - food can be reheated directly in containers. Take the box to work, remove the protective film and send it to the microwave - a hot, tasty and healthy lunch is ready in a couple of minutes.

I'm on a diet. Will this suit me?

Grow Food has five nutrition programs:

• Super Fit, ≈ 1,000 kcal per day - for those who need to lose weight quickly.
• Fit, ≈ 1200 kcal - for those who are losing weight and want to maintain the achieved result.
• Daily, ≈ 1,400 kcal - a complete daily diet for people who want to eat right.
• Balance, ≈ 2,000 kcal - for those who are actively involved in sports.
• Power, ≈ 2,500 kcal - for athletes on weight.

The daily ration is designed to provide the optimal calorie content and ratio of protein, fat and carbohydrates to achieve your goal of losing weight, maintaining weight or gaining muscle mass. Meals are distributed evenly: you eat in fractional portions so that you don't feel hungry during the day.

For those who want to get in shape as quickly as possible, Grow Food offers the "Reboot" program. Enter your gender, height and weight - you get a daily calorie intake and the corresponding menu.

What's on the menu? Proper nutrition - is it buckwheat and broccoli all week?

Grow Food's goal is to prove that good nutrition tastes good. The menu has chicken shawarma, carbonara, potato pancakes, even burgers and turkey sandwiches.

Proper nutrition is not about depriving yourself of everything tasty, but about rethinking the approach to what you eat. For cooking, dietary meat is used - chicken or turkey fillet, lean beef, lean pork tenderloin. Dairy products are farm milk 2.5% fat, cottage cheese 5% fat and yogurt 3.5%.

Such food does not make you feel like you are on a strict diet, which means you will not be tempted to drop everything halfway. If you have a particularly hard time quitting sweets, Grow Food has healthy desserts.

What other desserts? There's sugar in there

Grow Food desserts are prepared with natural sweetener "FitParad No. 7". It is created on the basis of natural ingredients and is suitable for dietary or therapeutic and prophylactic nutrition.

Carrot cake, yogurt parfait with muesli, muffins, brownies and chocolate pancakes are a good substitute for the usual desserts, only there are fewer calories than regular sweets.
