Diet-to-Go Breakfast Meal Reviews

by Mary

I recently tried out Diet-to-Go’s service with a 5 day meal plan. The following are all the breakfast I had on the low-fat traditional plan at 1600 calories.

Diet to go meal review muffin

Breakfast Diet-to-Go Meal: Mango-Cranberry Muffin, Orange Marmalade, Yogurt Smoothie

Nutrition: 

  • 430 calories
  • 15 g fat
  • 74 g carbs
  • 53 g sugars
  • 9 g protein
  • 310 mg sodium

Thoughts: This was my first meal on the plan and my first introduction to the overly sweet breakfast concept (I prefer savory in the morning over sweet). The muffin itself was really tasty after being heated up. The orange jam (it wasn’t really a marmalade) was delish as well. I drank the yogurt smoothie on the way to work. I’d had that particular product before so I knew I would enjoy it. Though it was very sweet I did find this breakfast satisfying taste-wise.

Breakfast Diet-to-Go Meal: Noodle Kugel (sweet casserole), Applesauce, Cranberry Juice

Nutrition:

  • 420 calories
  • 5 g fat
  • 83 g carbs
  • 65 g sugars
  • 12 g protein
  • 540 mg sodium

Thoughts:

I’ve never had sweet casserole before in this way so noodle kugel was a surprise to me. It tasted great in my opinion though I have nothing to compare it against. Again the breakfast was just too sweet. Every item was sugary and by the time I got to the applesauce I was just done eating sweet things.

Diet to go review blueberry pancakes

Breakfast Diet-to-Go Meal: Blueberry Pancakes, Turkey Sausage, Syrup, Fajita Veggies

Nutrition:

  • 360 calories
  • 13 g fat
  • 53 g carbs
  • 15 g sugars
  • 13 g protein
  • 1050 mg sodium

Thoughts:

I really enjoyed this breakfast. I thought I would hate it because pancakes rolled around blueberry jam seemed like a weird idea to me when I cooked it. however, the pancakes were not sweet and the blueberry jam complemented them perfectly. There was syrup available to use for the pancakes but I didn’t feel it was necessary when there was already sugary jam involved. The turkey sausage was good as well. The only disappointment here was the fajita veggies. I would have loved 4 times as many because the serving was just pitiful. They did not taste seasoned either so it mostly was just watery bland bit of veggies.

Diet to go meal review fruit ambrosia

Breakfast Diet-to-Go Meal: Fruit Ambrosia, Granola Bar

Nutrition:

  • 390 Calories
  • 10 g fat
  • 73 g carbs
  • 50 g sugars
  • 10 g protein
  • 160 mg sodium

Thoughts:

This breakfast was not my favorite. I left it frozen for too long so by the time I needed to eat it I had no way because it was still frozen. Since it’s supposed to be served cold I couldn’t really heat it up. I tried and ate a few bites but it was a no go. I ate the granola bar and a few bites of the super cold ambrosia and called it a morning.

Diet to go meal review omelette

Breakfast diet-to-Go Meal: Ratatouille Omelet

Nutrition:

  • 270 calories
  • 16 g fat
  • 15 g carbs
  • 3 g sugars
  • 18 g protein
  • 620 mg sodium

Thoughts:

In my opinion this was the best breakfast of the lot nutritionally. It had less sugar and more protein and veggies. Overall it was much closer to something I’d normally want to eat for breakfast.

Unfortunately I dropped half my food when making it so JuJu has the asparagus and a good chunk of the veggies on top of the omelet. I ate the omelet (it didn’t fall, yay!) and it tasted great. It was rather delicious and I enjoyed every bite. It kept me full for quite a while even though it was lower cal and I missed part of the meal.

Disclosure: I received the meals free of charge from Diet-to-Go in exchange for my review and sharing the meals. The opinions shared here are my own.

That is some serious sodium

Indeed. It’s definitely a major down side.

I can attest to the pancakes. I got a bite of those and they were really delicious.

I had a bite of the kugel and yeah… that was a no-go for me.

From giving up sugar, i know some of those brands contain sugar in them and i’d be crashing midway through work if i ate them. looks like a good variety of different things though!
