About NutriSystem
The NutriSystem diet plan is a heavily advertised weight loss meal plan that offers dieters a fixed menu of meals at a super low price. The portions are small and packaged in non refrigerated, shelf-stable packaging that has a self life of about a year.
With NutriSystem meals you eat three specially designed meals for 28 days. These meals offer a single serving, though they are very small portion sizes. A fiber bar can be a meal.
NutriSystem Scrambled Eggs with Vegetables
Nothing about this breakfast is convenient or worth the time it takes to make. It is nothing more than a bag of powdered eggs with vegetables that have to be hydrated in water for 5 minutes before you can microwave it. Even then, you have microwave it at 30 second intervals and stir before the start of the next cycle. It took me 5 times. The eggs are flavorless and unsatisfying. I feel like I didn't have a breakfast at all.

If you have over 100 pounds to lose, you must also eat an additional carbohydrate. As far as the meals themselves, they are the typical fare of an average American diet. Breakfast usually consists of cereal, muffins, snack bars, pancakes or eggs. For lunch, you would have soup, sandwiches, rice dishes, hot dogs or another snack bar. Dinner consists of the best meals, as you would eat pasta, Chinese food, Mexican food or pizza. You can also eat standard meals consisting of meat and vegetables.
At the end of the day, you are allowed one snack. If you prefer a savory selection, the plan includes Cheese Puffs, pretzels and flavored chips. For sweeter tastes, the diet offers chocolate bars, cookies, cakes and candy. You can also get ice cream if you are willing to pay a little extra.
If you do not like the NutriSystem meals they offer, it is possible to get a refund. According to their Money Back Guarantee, you will get a full refund if you try their foods for a week and do not like them. You just have to return the remaining portion of non-frozen meals. NutriSystem does not have any discounts or coupon codes at this time.
NutriSystem Coupons
Finding a NutriSystem Coupon or NutriSystem Coupon Code that works is almost impossble. The best way to find values is on the NutriSystem website itself. They can offer an additional week of food free, or $50 Coupon off a family plan.
NutriSystem Meals
NutriSystem does offer an a la carte menu for those people that wish to try a few NutriSystem meals before committing to an entire month of food, which is a very good suggestion. It is very hard to find the link to the a la carte section, probably becuase they would prefer to sell the 28 day weight loss meal plan. Here is the link: NutriSystem Meals.

NutriSystem Cheese Tortellini
This "meal" was actually okay, but nothing that you couldn't get at the supermarket for about one third of the cost. The nutritional values are about the same as the ones you would find in the store too.
The sauce tasted like a sauce that comes from a jar. The tortellini were soft and almost mushy, like you would expect coming from a can.
It was very easy to microwave, but I prefer a complete weight loss meal that has a side and vegetable.

NutriSystem Meatloaf and Potatoes
I may be marking this meal on a curve a little, because I understand NutriSystem is the least expensive diet delivery company out there, that sells meals.
The meatloaf is small but good. It's not your Mom's meatloaf, but it works. The mashed potatoes are instant, but there is a generous portion. The gravy gets lost in the reheating process. Again, I'd like to see a vegetable, but this NutriSystem meal I would recommend for the dieter on a very limited budget.

NutriSystem Southern-Style Biscuits and Gravy
I ordered this breakfast because I it had 4 out of 5 stars, on 382 reviews, on the NutriSystem website. I also love biscuits and gravy. It is one of my favorite meals I seek out when I travel down south.
Again, this another powdered breakfast that is far from convenient and not worth the effort. My biscuit never amounted to anything more than a blob, and the gravy didn't have any flavor at all. Southern-style? I don't think so.

NutriSystem Spaghetti with Meat Sauce
Again, I'm marking this meal on the "NutriSystem Curve." The meal is far from a spaghetti and meat sauce meal your Mom would make, and much closer to a Chef Boy-a-de canned spaghetti.
It is more like meat and spaghetti than spaghetti and meat sauce. You can't twirl the spaghetti with a fork. It's like eating sauce from a jar with some spaghetti tossed in. The sauce is a little watery too. Eat it with a spoon.

NutriSystem Chicken and Penne Alfredo
I was pleasantly surprised with this NutriSystem meal. Of the meals I tried, it had the most substantial portion size. Although no one could make the mistake of this being a gourmet meal, the penne was good, as was the sauce.
The chicken cubes were plentiful and tasty, but they did have an after-taste like they came from a can, which extended to the sauce. Some vegetables would be nice to make it a complete meal, but this was good.

NutriSystem Chicken and Pasta
Here is another meal that you can get at your local supermarket for about one third of the price. I always thought of these little microwave cans as food for small children. There is nothing about the food that is "diet," it's just the tiny portion.
It did have a very strange taste that took me a bit to figure out. Sliced black olives are hidden in the sauce. It doesn't quite go with my tastes, but this meal is okay.

NutriSystem Lasagna
Lasagna is one of my favorite foods, and whenever I get the chance to order it from a meal delivery service, I do. I have to say that most places give very small portions of their lasagna, so NutriSystem was able to maintain pace on portion size.
But it was pretty good too. I'd say it is in the top five of all the lasagnas I've tried. It's not a lasagna you'll get in Italy, but none of them are. Be sure to get a few of these, and at $6 it's not a bad deal.
