prepmymeal follows the same basic idea as FITTASTE, but relies on flash-frozen meals and a particularly broad range that can be filtered by nutritional goal. The clear macro declaration is a real advantage for anyone who tracks – and a good starting point for my CGM tests.
What interests me technically about the range
- Goal-oriented selection: Being able to specifically choose low-carb or protein-focused meals is the most interesting point from a blood-sugar perspective. Carbohydrate quantity remains the main driver of the glucose response – whoever can control it, controls the peak.
- Protein and satiety: A higher protein content supports satiety and muscle preservation, especially in a weight-loss phase, and dampens the glucose response . That fits my goal of reducing weight without losing muscle.
- Freezing and resistant starch: With starchy sides, cooling/reheating can change the proportion of resistant starch and theoretically slightly soften the glucose response – the effect is real, but its magnitude for a single meal is hard to predict . This is exactly the kind of thing my CGM can make visible.
- “No added sugar” ≠ “low carb”: Here too: rice, pasta and potatoes deliver carbohydrates regardless of the sugar label. What matters is the declared total amount per portion.
What I view critically
- Marketing vs. macros: “Fitness meal” is not a protected term. I go by the declared nutritional values and the real curve, not by the category label.
- Price and shipping: Considerably more expensive per portion than home cooking; shipping costs come on top. The added value must lie in everyday life (time, consistency, blood-sugar control).
- Portion and reaching for more: As with any ready meal, I assess whether the portion really fills me up.
What gets measured next
- 1. Low carb vs. classic: A deliberately low-carb meal against a side-heavy one – peak height and course over 3 hours in direct comparison.
- 2. Declaration vs. reality: Does my measured glucose response match the stated carbohydrates?
- 3. Freezing effect: Where sensibly measurable – does a starchy meal react differently than freshly prepared comparison food?
- 4. Training vs. rest day: The same meal with and without prior moderate endurance training.
All results are labelled as single-case observation (n=1); conspicuous measurements I repeat on another day.
