Medical Meal Plans Delivered

Medical meal delivery services provide nutritionally controlled, pre-prepared meals designed by registered dietitians and physicians for specific health conditions. MealPro's medical meals are tailored for conditions like diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, and digestive disorders, with precise control over sodium (200-600mg per meal), carbohydrates (30-45g per meal), protein (15-40g depending on condition), and other critical nutrients. Each meal is freshly prepared, and delivered directly to your door with detailed nutritional information.

The Diabetic Meal Plan is best for managing diabetes and prediabetes. It contains 30-45g of carbohydrates per meal, less than 10g of sugar, and 400-600mg of sodium. Meals are designed to keep blood sugar stable with low glycemic index ingredients and balanced macronutrients (40% carbs, 30% protein, 30% healthy fats). This plan works for Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, PCOS, and obesity management.

MealPro offers two low sodium options: Heart Healthy Meals contain 300-500mg sodium per 12oz meal, and Very Low Sodium Meals contain only 200-400mg sodium per meal - the lowest available on the market. For comparison, the average restaurant meal contains 1,000-2,300mg of sodium, and the American Heart Association recommends limiting sodium to 1,500-2,300mg per day for most adults.

Renal diet meal plans for chronic kidney disease (CKD) control potassium (under 200mg per meal for stages 3-4, under 250mg for stage 5), phosphorus (under 150mg for stages 3-4, under 200mg for stage 5), sodium (300-600mg), and protein (varies by stage). Stage 3 CKD meals limit protein to 15-20g to reduce kidney workload, Stage 4 Pre-Dialysis meals contain 20-25g protein, and Stage 5 Dialysis meals provide 30-40g high-quality protein to prevent muscle wasting.

Medical meal delivery is increasingly covered by insurance, Medicare Advantage plans, and HSA/FSA accounts. Some Medicaid programs (particularly for diabetes, heart disease, and kidney disease) and private insurers cover medically tailored meals (MTMs) for eligible conditions. Coverage varies by plan and state. Contact your insurance provider to verify coverage for your specific condition. MealPro provides itemized receipts with medical coding for reimbursement submissions.

Most customers order 18-21 meals per week, covering all meals for 7 days. This provides structure and nutritional control for main meals while allowing flexibility for some dining out. Plans range from several meals (1-week trial to test the service) to 21+ meals per week for complete meal coverage. We recommend starting with one week's meals and adjusting based on your schedule, cooking preferences, and health goals.

Yes, medically tailored meal delivery can significantly help manage diabetes by providing precise carbohydrate control (30-45g per meal), balanced macronutrients, and consistent portion sizes that eliminate guesswork. Clinical studies show that medically tailored meals improve HbA1c levels by 0.5-1.0%, reduce blood sugar variability, support weight management, and decrease diabetes-related hospitalizations. The consistent nutrition helps stabilize blood glucose throughout the day.

Kidney disease diets must limit potassium, phosphorus, and sodium while balancing protein intake based on CKD stage. Choose low-potassium vegetables (peppers, cabbage, cauliflower, green beans), limit high-phosphorus foods (dairy, nuts, beans, whole grains), and restrict sodium to under 2,000mg daily. Protein needs vary dramatically: Stage 3 requires moderate restriction (0.6-0.8g per kg body weight), while Stage 5 dialysis patients need higher protein (1.2-1.5g per kg) to prevent muscle wasting. MealPro's renal plans are designed by nephrologists for each specific stage.

Medical meals arrive at your door and stay fresh for 7-10 days when refrigerated at 35-40°F. Meals can also be frozen for up to 3 months for extended storage. Each meal is labeled with preparation date and best-by date. Meals are shipped in insulated packaging with cool packs to maintain cold chain integrity during 2-3 day transit. We recommend refrigerating meals immediately upon delivery.
