``Receiving lunch from dil figaro has been a bright spot in the utter monotony of this time of many restrictions. In a situation where unhealthy eating could have sky rocketed due to stress and 24/7 proximity to one’s pantry, it maintained health and sanity. Our waistlines are shrinking, we are motivated to exercise and feel the benefits of healthful, flavorful foods that include an element of novelty and fun. On dil figaro days there is no willpower involved. I find that having less food preparation, at least once a day, means fewer opportunities to make wrong choices and further, it inspires healthier choices.``

Katherine S New Canaan, CT

``It is amazing so many people make poor nutritional decisions, including us. We now have our lunch delivered to our home everyday by dil figaro. We were making too many bad food choices for lunch, but No MORE EXCUSES. Food is fresh, clean, organic, varied and delicious. We feel a big difference already. Great idea for the busy Zoomers.``

``dil figaro delivers scrumptious high quality healthy meals to my family and I every noon since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. It is really a great solution for these tough times when work from home, schooling from home has all become a new normal. It saves me a lot of time to shop, prepare, and cook food and, more importantly, they have professional dietitians from Yale who work with you on how to eat healthy.
dil figaro is not just another food delivery company. They are more of a healthy life style promoter and educator. We enjoy working with them and are very thankful for all the service they provide.``

Linda X New Canaan

``The session with the dietitian was thorough and efficient; she listened and asked a lot of questions. The Personalized Nutrition Plan was comprehensive but very easy to read and understand. The meals are fantastic! I love the quality and the variety. And it is such a treat to have someone else make the choice for me! I definitely recommend this program.``

Kelly P Stamford

``Fresh and tasty, healthy meals that are convenient. Feels like you are enjoying something not just flavorful because they used a lot of butter or over-salted it or used other unhealthy flavorings. Instead, you can taste that the ingredients are fresh and natural.``

How does the process work for me?

We match the answers from your questionnaire to dietitian-approved customized super healthy meals from local restaurants. Our team, under the guidance of dietitians who prepare these meal plans, collaborates with the chefs of top-rated restaurants in your area to have meals prepared that would match your health goals and taste preferences. We also take care of delivering them fresh to you every time.

You will have 2 options per meal to choose from. You can also provide your notes to the chefs on the Meal Plan section to further customize the meals. And, you can save your favorite meals in your dashboard that you may want to see more of during the coming weeks.

What if I have several medical conditions and dietary restrictions?

If you have multiple medical conditions, food sensitivities, and dietary restrictions then we process your nutrition needs through first matching you with one of our dietitians. She will arrange a 45-minutes zoom session within a week with you to better understand your specific needs and then prepare a personalized nutrition and life style guidelines report with a meal plan to address them. The meals are matched to your health goals and taste preferences. We then start delivering those customized meals fresh to you.

If you prefer you can choose to fill out a comprehensive questionnaire in place of the session. Your answers on that questionnaire will help the dietitian to prepare the same level of personalized report and the meal plan.

To reiterate, you will have 2 options per meal to choose from. And, you can save your favorite meals in your dashboard that you may want to see more of during the coming weeks.

How does the meal service work?

We typically provide a weekly meal plan on the weekend before the start of that week. The plan shows 2 meal choices from different restaurants on a daily basis.

By sharing the weekly plan 24-48 hours in advance of the start of the week, it allows you to select your meals for the entire week. We then arrange the daily delivery of your selected meals based on your selected location and time slot.

How do you customize meals to fit my personalized nutrition needs?

Our dietitians have prepared customized sets of super healthy meals from local restaurants that should match your health goals and taste preferences based on your questionnaire inputs. You can also provide your notes to the chefs on the Meal Plan section to further customize the meals.

In addition, a big part of that optimization exercise is to get weekly feedback from you – you can also provide that at any time you want to – so that we can continue to improve the meals and the service for you.

How do you secure my financial data?
