10 Best Low-Carb Meal Delivery Services For 2023, According To Nutritionists

Green Chef was the first-ever keto and certified organic meal kit, so it gets the thumbs up from Bobzien. All meals are also plastic and carbon offset (hence the “green” in Green Chef), so it scores high in sustainability. “For those looking to improve their cooking skills while eating low-carb, Green Chef is a great option that helps you choose keto-friendly meals, and each box contains pre-portioned ingredients and simple recipes, so you’ll be a low-carb chef in no time,” says Bobzien.

All meals (beef taco lettuce boats, pork chops with glazed carrots, and ricotta chicken, for example) are guaranteed to be ready within 30 minutes or less.

Fresh N Lean is a prepared meal delivery service with numerous low-carb options, so you can choose between their keto (15 percent carbs) and paleo (21 percent carbs) diet plans depending on your low-carb needs, says Bobzien. Unique to Fresh N Lean is also the Vegan Low-Carb meal plan that averages around 36 grams of carbs per meal, she adds.

You can choose your own meals each week or let the chefs curate a weekly selection for you. But, don’t worry, because there are over 100 fully-cooked meals to choose from like cilantro mint salmon, quinoa with tofu, or peach jalapeño chicken. Trust us, your taste buds will thank you.

Cook Unity is particularly unique for their meals prepared by local chefs, seasonal produce, and sustainably sourced meats. Moskovitz says you can trust the quality of each meal. Plus, instead of locking users into a low-carb diet plan up-front, Cook Unity allows you to search from their vast meal selection every week where you can find low-carb options by selecting the “low-carb” or “keto diet” filters.

If you love variety, Cook Unity boasts their global culinary options, allowing you to try a plethora of cuisines without straying from the low-carb lifestyle. All portions are single serving, but you can choose between four, six, eight, 12, or 16 meals each week.

Factor is a dietitian-designed prepared meal delivery service that offers a variety of options each week, with tons of keto-friendly meals. “Factor understands that healthy habits are successfully developed with good support, which is why Factor offers free nutrition coaching sessions that are available even before locking into one of their delivery plans,” says Bobzien.

Meals like pesto salmon and Tuscan chicken all come fresh and ready-to-eat, so all you have to do is heat and enjoy.

If your low-carb diet is aligned with weight loss, Diet-to-Go is a great option, says Bobzien. “Their Keto-Carb30 meal plan averages around 30 net carbs a day and you can personalize your meal selection each week,” she says.

You can also choose from four different menus to find meals like Pascale creole shrimp, parmesan chicken wings, or beef short ribs and all meals are fresh and free of additives and preservatives.Just note that this delivery service is weight-loss-centric, so it may not align with every person’s healthy eating goals.

Territory Foods prides itself on the motto, “eat well without the effort." The prepared meals like lemon dill chicken and shredded beef ropas will make your time in the kitchen a breeze.

“A team of chefs and nutritionists work together to create Territory’s nutritious and delicious rotating menu, and you can choose 'low-carb' filters for meals with fewer than 30 total grams of carbs,” says Bobzien.

You can also test out the “keto-friendly” option which is more carb restrictive and filters for meals with fewer than 15 grams of net carbs, she adds. The meals are delivered on Wednesdays and Sundays and last in your fridge for up to a week, so you’ll always be covered.

If you want a meal that's ready to eat *and* developed by registered dietitians, then BistroMD is for you, Moskovitz says.

All meals heat within 5 minutes or less, and the low-carb, diabetic-friendly menu consists of hickory smoked BBQ pork, shepherd's pie, and stuffed grape leaves with tomato sauce. You can also add on their high-protein snack program to make low-carb snacking convenient and effortless.

Just be mindful that BistroMD doubles as a healthy weight loss plan, so although the service offers over 150 low-calorie options per week, the single-serving portions may be on the smaller side.

Sunbasket offers a variety of customizable options, including fully-prepared meals and meal kits, so you can choose what works best for your schedule, says Moskovitz. Plus, their menu features multiple dietary options for the carb-conscious, and you can decide between meals with 25 to 35 grams of net carbs, or 20 to 70 grams of net carbs.

Sunbasket is also curated by registered dietitians and each meal shares a comprehensive ingredient list before purchasing, so transparency is key. Tasty meals have previously included turkey meatballs, chicken breast with sautéed kale, or sausage tacos with queso fresco, and you can choose between single-serving prepared meals, or two- to four-serving meals kits.

There’s something so satisfying about freshly made, low-sodium meals that are created by a registered dietitian—and Performance Kitchen checks all the boxes.

All meals are low in sugar, contain less than 500 milligrams of sodium per serving, and there are never any artificial ingredients or flavors. Performance Kitchen also has registered dietitians on staff who can provide consultations and meal guidance for those with diabetes, renal conditions, and heart disease, so Bobzien always suggests taking advantage of the experts.

The carb-wise meal plan has a variety of choices and some of the latest dishes have included sun-dried tomato chicken, spaghetti squash and meat sauce, or garlic chicken and eggplant.

Trifecta features a rotating weekly menu with prepared meals that are guaranteed to include organic produce, grass-fed and humanely raised meat, and no highly processed foods or added sugars, says Bobzien.

If you’re on a stricter low-carb diet, the keto meal plan includes dishes like chicken frittatas or beef bulgogi and each meal has less than 10 grams of net carbs per serving.

The only downside is that you can’t choose your own weekly meals, so it may not be the best option for picky eaters.
