Definitely not, we take pride in working with local distributors for fresh produce at all times.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you freeze your meals?
What is the shelf life of your meals?
7 to 10 days from production depending on the contents of the dish. Meals with broccoli, green beans, and other similar green vegetables last closer to 7 days, while the rest of our menu lasts up to 10 days. We post expiration dates on each one of our meals.
Can I freeze the meals?
You can BUT we do not recommend due to loss of flavor after being frozen, we are not liable after freezing.
What are the reheating instructions?
Puncture film on (both) compartments, remove any sauces in plastic ramekins, and heat in the microwave anywhere from 1-2 minutes depending on the wattage of your microwave.
What do I do with the meal containers, meal packaging and gel ice packs?
The meal containers (plastic #5) can be recycled with rigid plastic products, just make sure to rinse them first. The corrugated delivery box, the mylar bubble insulation, and any other paper products can be recycled curbside too, but be sure to remove the plastic label and adhesive tape.
For the gel ice packs, dispose of the non-toxic contents in the garbage and recycle the plastic bag at a local store drop-off. Keep in mind that we don’t recommend pouring the water-based gel down the drain in case of temporary clogs. Reusing is an option, too!
How long does delivery take? Is there an order cut-off time?
Our order cutoff is midnight 2 days prior to your desired delivery date (if available). For example, if you are looking to receive your meals on Tuesday, then you will need to place your order by 7:59PM Sunday night. We only utilize 1-2 day shipping methods for food preservation and shelf life purposes, so if you are outside our Monterey, California UPS 1 or 2 Day Ground Zone, then we will send you meals via UPS Next Day Air.
When does my subscription run?
Your subscription bills 3 full days prior to your selected delivery date. If your selected delivery date is Monday, you need to have all edits in place prior to 7:59PM on Thursday night.
How do I pause or cancel my subscription?

What are the payment options?
We currently accept all credit cards, debit cards, and gift cards. Store meal plans or credits are not acceptable for online orders.
What is your policy on food allergies?
At MaxFit Meals, we use a wide spectrum of ingredients to keep variety in our menu. We can not guarantee that your food will be allergen-free, and because of this, we can not recommend our fresh food delivery service to anybody who has moderate to severe food allergies.
