A new Healthy Meals Direct has opened in Farmingdale, N.Y. Its new building is located at 621 Fulton St, Farmingdale, N.Y. 11735. Healthy Meals Direct is a company that offers meal delivery services with a focus on meal prepping. They have a diverse menu of meals that are meant to balance your nutrition and support whatever health objectives you may have. Each meal option that they have lists how many calories, carbs, protein, fat, fiber, saturated fats, sodium, sugar and allergens are in each meal. This makes it easier for people to keep track of how each meal that they eat will impact their body. This is especially useful when someone is trying to lose weight or gain muscle.
Healthy Meals Direct offers over 200 different meal options with each meal consisting of an average of 400 calories. Many of their meals also consist of vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free options. Customers can order online what specific meals they will want for the week right before the week starts on a Sunday night. Once delivered, customers will have all of their meals prepped and ready to heat up for the week. Healthy Meals Direct also offers specific locations that offer grab and go services. Grab and go services let customers come in and pick up their food for the week themselves instead of ordering online. These locations are perfect for anyone with a busy lifestyle who needs meals for the week prepped and ready the day of.
Healthy Meals Direct states that their main goal is to make eating healthy as simple and easy as possible. This way of picking your meals is perfect for anyone looking for quick meals to pick up that they can trust are healthy and for a long-term way to keep track and be aware of their nutrition intake. Healthy Meals Direct currently has 29 locations on Long Island. The newest one, which opened on Fulton St, is the first one in the Town of Farmingdale.
Healthy Meals Direct owner Michael Flemming explains what makes Healthy Meals Direct stand out from competitors, "Unlike many meal prep companies, we don’t use preservatives, fillers, or gimmicks," Flemming said, "Every meal is made fresh using real ingredients, and we prioritize taste just as much as nutrition.” Healthy Meals Direct’s main two competitors are Redefined meals and Hummus Fit meals. Both competitors are based on Long Island with locations across the island. The hours for the Farmingdale location are from 10 a.m.-7 p.m. on Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m.-7 p.m. on Fridays and 10 a.m.-5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. For any issues or complaints, the Farmingdale location can be called at (516)-224-3059.
