Fitlife Foods

I get around 5 meals a week from here and it’s soooo convenient and the best kind of healthy. Everyone is always really nice and they ring me up quickly. Thanks guys, we are loyal customers for as long as you are around. My faves are sweet potato pancakes, sausage and sweet potato dinner, and the tamales are weirdly the best ones I’ve ever had. Keep up the great work.

Most of the food I purchased was excellent and a few were not enjoyed by me and the spouse. However that’s no different than any place you eat– so I would recommend. The food definitely tasted fresh. The staff were very helpful and friendly my first time using them. The reason I can’t give the 4 and 5 star is that a few days later, I ordered a few days worth of food for my husband and I using their online ordering system. I didn’t have my phone ringer on from a staff mtg and a few hours later we went to pick up. We were informed that they didn’t fill the order and they had almost no food in their store. Aside from missing their call which was my fault, my recommendation would be to beef up some kind of inventory system that would let me know this at the time of ordering and taking the time to enter my credit card too. My time was wasted in driving there and I still didn’t have the food I needed. I was definitely disappointed and am very short on time these few weeks – which is why I was buying from them in the first place. I would probably go back again, but I’m annoyed at the inconvenience and silliness of this lack of planning by mgmt.

When I first walked into FitLife Foods for the first time a few months ago, something seemed very familiar…
Not to get confused with My Fit Foods (a similar concept, which I had visited a few years ago when I lived in Los Angeles), FitLife foods offers a variety of pre-​portioned, pre-​packaged meals, ready to heat and eat. You can microwave your meal at the store, or you can take it home to enjoy later. The concept is BRILLIANT, in my opinion, and I truly believe it would succeed throughout the country (right now FLF only has locations in Florida).
Nevertheless, every time I have visited FitLife Foods in the past few months, the salespeople have been incredibly friendly and helpful. I’ve enjoyed a variety of meals – some of my favorites are the Supercharged Chicken, the Chicken Enchilada Bake, the Jamaican Pork, and the Korean BBQ Beef (I tend to «play it safe» and stick to the ones I know I love). I especially love how the nutritional information is readily available, so I can keep calories in check, as well.
FitLife Foods can be costly, though. The prices vary depending on the size and type of meal (what kind of meat, etc.), and it can add up quickly. I find if I supplement a visit to FLF with a trip to the grocery store, however, it becomes much more reasonable and realistic. They also offer a recycling program – so if you save and return 20 containers, you get a free meal.
The one thing I would love to see more of at FitLife Foods, however, is Paleo-​friendly options. While there are a handful (or less) of «super clean» meals (no grains, no dairy, etc.), it would be great to have a few more! Considering the health-​oriented nature of FLF, I think it would really be a natural «fit».
Either way, I’ve been very happy with my experiences and meals at FitLife thus far, and will continue to be a customer! :)

I am in need of a 399^th review as the 400^th review should be something special, and so, Fitlife Foods gets the final review before the big 4−0…0.
I’ve come here a few times, though I am not a member or a regular. Usually, I’m here because I was lazy or forgot to go grocery shopping and Fitlife is infinitely better for you than going to any restaurant and obviously any fast food joint.
Essentially, its prepackaged meals-​to-​go, but fresh using local ingredients. Step inside and you’ll see a row of refrigerators along one wall with snacks on one end, breakfast on the other, and lunch/​dinner options in all of the cases in between. Food ranges from your standard American fare — burgers, scrambles, BBQ, etc — to some asian items like Korean beef or pad thai, and some Mexican items like enchiladas and tacos. All meals come in 3 sizes based on what sort of plan you’re on — body builders would probably want the large meals for the extra calories, and fatties like me need small or medium meals because I don’t have room for one more roll in my torso!
Each meal has the calorie, carbs, protein and fat count right on the side of the box facing the door to the fridge, and nutritional content/​ingredients on the bottom.
I mentioned membership, above. I don’t know if that’s what it is, but I know they have programs and whatnot to help you fashion a diet that’s right for you, and whenever I am in there, I hear the clerk mention a person’s total charge after a discount, so I assume there’s a plan or membership where you can get that. However, I have only ever gone here for 1 or 2 meals and infrequently, so I cannot provide more info.
They have microwaves there, so if you want to heat up your meal before leaving, you can, and they have some condiments and plastic ware to help you out there, too. Very convenient.
The food is very good. Some meals are obviously better than others, but I think I have liked everything I have eaten. The korean beef was among my favorites, but the breakfast scramble was very good, too, as was some pulled pork option that I don’t recall.
I’m taking a star away for price, which is not something I would normally do because you should know the price going in. However, I don’t think its always worth the price. It’s great to use in a meal emergency or every now and then to fill in the gaps, but there are cheaper services out there that deliver to your home. One comparison to make this point — today, I bought a small breakfast scramble and a medium lunch/​dinner option and it cost almost $ 19. On the other hand, earlier in the year, I was using a meal delivery service — NakedFit Foods — and 4 meals a day, 5 days a week, was $ 150, which works out to $ 7.50/meal. Almost $ 2 a meal cheaper. Now, $ 2 may not be much to you, but it adds up if this is your primary meal source, and the latter option delivers to your door every night.
Still, price notwithstanding, I am a fan of fitlife foods for a good, healthy, alternative to nearly every other option. And in my case, where my stomach, my rear end, and my head are jostling for having the stronger gravitational pull, I could use some healthy alternatives in my life.

Very good to go options,
All well prepared and good varieties.
Healthy meals under 400 cal.
Can select a few meals for the week and when you return 20 recyclable cartons, you’ll receive a free meal.

I am so happy that this concept exists! I am a busy person always working, so any thing in my daily life that I can make easier for my self is a win! I love that I can pick up several complete meals, keep them in my refrigerator and heat one up for a complete dinner. The selection to choose from is huge and the meals all taste great! They last up to 5 days in the refrigerator so stocking up for the week is easy. The cost is about the same as cooking a healthy meal, except there are no dishes to wash, no food to prep, and no time wasted at the grocery store or trying to figure out what to make! Plus the staff are super nice, helpful, and knowledgeable on the meals. They want to help their customers make healthy choices and reach their goals.

Stopped by when in area, thinking they served food there. Walked into nice clean place, with only 4 chairs, looks setup for to go food.
Got 2 meals with a friend and sat down. Costs were high, $ 12 – 13 for a large meal and protein macros were light. Stated 74 grams, was maybe 50 – 60 TOPS, eat this type of stuff everyday on my own.
Great for people who have no idea what they are doing, or really don’t feel like cooking and are in a rush (as I was this day). Meals should cost 20% less and would have made it to 4 star. Plenty of competition out there. Macros over rated really bothers me. Vegetables tastes fair reheated, could have got a comparable macro meal for less money at a QSR any day.

So glad that my girlfriends referred me to FitLife Foods. My hubby travels a lot for work so I’m often left fending for myself when he’s gone. It is such a pain to cook for one and this place has solved that problem for me. I can go in when he is traveling and pick up all my meals for the week, and they are healthy! I think the price is very reasonable considering you’re getting fresh, yummy and healthy meals prepared for you; including all the nutritional value labeled on your meal. Great place!

Amazing! Delicious, easy.
Yea it’s pricey… sadly. So I save it for days when I really need it. Wish there was more organic.
Get your company to enroll for 10% discount. Wait for double value days to turn in your containers!

Tasty healthy food for on the go. Super nice gal gave me a freebie brownie with Unilocal checkin. No it’s not a restaurant but it’s an easy alternative

I recently tried them for the first time and was overall impressed. First the pros of my visit:
Staff member was friendly and fairly helpful. I liked that he didn’t try to convince me to buy more smaller meals rather than the large meals and splitting them into two servings. it is more cost effective to buy a large and make it into 2 meals.
I liked the ease of the display, the labels and nutritional content, which makes it really easy when looking for certain items or items for a specific eating plan.
The taste of what I purchased (Power Morning Steak & Eggs, Ab Tight Steak and the Go Lean Chicken) was pretty good considering it is a «microwave meal». It was definitely a lot better than those you buy in the grocery stores.
Now for the cons:
The meals are definitely on the pricey end. For someone to eat these 100% of their meals is very costly for the person that is on a budget or watching their money. For me, that means only getting a few to use mixed in to the week on the days that I am just too busy to prepare something.
I would have liked a little more variety, several of the options were very similar (southwest, Mexican, jerk) Even some of the meals that others have listed in their reviews sounded appealing but I don’t see them on the current menu (Mongolian Beef, Cashew Chicken, Butternut Turkey)
Also, I was a bit confused when looking over the ingredients. I chose one meal that said it had Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes, but when I looked closely at the ingredients once I got home, yes there was cauliflower, but also Red Potatoes. I was initially trying to avoid mashed potatoes and would not have chosen that meal had I realized it was a mixture of cauliflower and potatoes.
There were numerous options that they were completely out of in the large, several of which I had wanted to purchase.
Overall, I liked the experience, the food was more healthy and offers a convenient option for me when I am busy. The food tasted pretty good. I will definitely be a returning customer, but hopefully over time they consider the feedback when making changes.

Tried it today after a good friends raving reviews. Really enjoyed the Miami Beach Mixed Grill. (medium size) We ate in, so we used their microwaves to heat up our dishes… Sounds odd but it worked great. Fresh cooked, delish food in 1 minute & 30 seconds. Desserts were even awesome!
Everyone else that came in got takeout.

Lets start with the good, the staff is very nice and very helpful. The idea is great for lazy people too. Not much work needed to eat healthy. Having said this, the portions below large are way too small (both meals were under 500 calories for large) so I ended up getting two large which were kind of pricy. $ 11.95 for the Mongolian Beef which was pretty good but when you cook as they tell you to, the food gets more moist than it should, my MB was swimming in water and I had to pour the water out before I ate. I also got the Cashew Chicken for $ 10.45. Did not like the CC at all, the chicken was full of fat and every other bite was super chewy and the rice was too moist, not expecting this from a $ 10 meal, I could make the same thing better just by taking the time to cut all the fat off the chicken before cooking. All in all, great idea but the foods not that good and it’s very pricy, wouldn’t recommend them and I probably won’t be coming back.

The food is delicious, but the portions can be very small.
My coworker was in charge of lunch one day and brought us all fitlife meals! I had the meatballs and it was delicious. The green beans were very crispy and I ended up putting salt on it. Overall, I wouldn’t have been able to tell it was healthy (I mean that as a compliment). The meatballs came with pasta and it was good. The only thing was the portions were tiny! I found out there are choices about what size meal you want. The entire meal was only 250 calories (I bet she chose the smallest size). I actually felt satisfied with that, but my brain was telling me that I should be in shock by how little I consumed. I think this place is good at portion sizes and that my American brain has just distorted what a meal should look like.
We also got snickerdoodles and they were seriously addicting. Luckily it was two to a pack or else I would have eaten a dozen. I don’t understand how those were healthy, but they sure were delicious. I think two were around 200 calories, so basically the same as my entire lunch.
If I had the money to buy all my meals here I would. I think I could get seriously healthy by continuously eating here. I would suggest trying this place.

To be fair, I gave Fitlife Foods an average rating because the staff is out of control friendly. They are so enthusiastic and kind and really passionate about being healthy and the store in general. However, I tried a number of items and I have to admit, I couldn’t take more than a couple of bites of each. It wasn’t my cup of tea at all, but I can appreciate the simplicity of the nutritional label.

I have visited Fitlife Foods twice now and the staff is very friendly and very knowledgeable. When I visited today I met either a manager or the owner and he was very nice. He gave us some of their dips to try (I have only tried the spinach one at this point. It is made with cauliflower and AMAZING… I wish I could buy a larger container).
There is a decent selection of different meals. I have to eat a low carb and low-​no sugar diet. I was able to find several meals that I could have. Unfortunately there are many others that are not options because of pasta or potatoes tossed into the container (some of these are listed as low carb, but they are only low carb to people eating regular food. People watching their carbs cannot have that many carbs in one meal). I wish they would have the meals a-​la-​cart with the meat and sides separate. I also wish that they had more «Large» containers since they are much more cost effective. The entrees I want are normally out in Large by the time I visit (5pm one day and 8pm another).
I have tried 7 different varying dishes at this point with mixed results. The Salmon and Tilapia I have tried have been delicious (although some of it is packed with mac and cheese that I have to throw out). The Mongolian Beef was really good, but the broccoli in the container tasted a little bitter. Our Mixed Grill was a complete disaster. The chicken and steak were both overcooked and dry after microwaving. I also had the breakfast frittatas which were good but needed seasoning.
The prices seem a little high, but when you think about what you are getting (especially the steak, salmon entrees); it is not a bad price. Most fast food meals cost $ 10 nowadays, I would much rather have a healthy filling meal.
The meals are well labeled with directions and nutritional information (I am told that they will list all ingredients in the near future). I will definitely keep Fitlife Foods in mind and visit occasionally, but I think I will stick to fish dishes.

I went yesterday for the VIP soft opening and left beyond impressed! Having driven by the location in South Tampa numerous times, they have been on my list of places to try. Yesterday was my opportunity and I am so glad I went. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and just genuine! I tried the Miami Mixed Grill and it was wonderful. I love that all portions have nutritional info posted, very handy! I can’t wait to stop by the one close to home in South Tampa.

So excited to have this healthy food option in St Pete! Went today and met Ashley one of the store managers, she was super helpful telling me all about the programs they offer. They also offer ala carte. Everything is fresh and comes in different portion sizes. They have breakfast items, lunch, dinner, dessert and snack stuff.
Everything I’ve tried so far has been super yummy. Great option for lunches to take to work or if I’m feeling lazy a good option on my way home from work at night. A big plus is that my daughter loved the fudge brownie and it is sweetened with plums.
I look forward to trying more pre-​made meals. They also have locations in Tampa and Carrolwood.
