My Fit Foods

There’s really no excuse not to eat right with this place as a lunch option. It’s only been a week but everything is fresh and tasty as if I made it myself. There’s tons of choices. Also inexpensive for not only the quality that you are getting but also the peace of mind controlling calories, while also still getting the appropriate amount of protein, carbs, sodium etc. I’m a fan.

great, quick, easy and healthy!

My husband and I eat My Fit Foods exclusively. I am always watching my weight and just got fed up with coming up with recipes we both enjoyed. I suggested looking into MFF as an alternative and we have been very happy. We can each have what we want and eat when we want. We have been doing this for about six months now. Since I live two blocks from the San Felipe/​Voss location, I started there. I do not recommend this location. I would just drop in for food, but they are poorly stocked. They suggested I order in advance which I did three times. They never bothered to place the first order (just forgot) and the next two were incomplete by about 50%. The staff is indifferent to rude. Consider yourself lucky if they are even willing to ring up your order. Definitely do not expect any assistance — just attitude. At a friend’s suggestion I tried the Uptown location. Wow — what a difference! Zee, the manager, is fantastic and he has a great staff, especially Christina — whom we think is just perfectly precious! We place orders twice a week and there has never been a problem. It is so rare these days to find such marvelous customer service, I just had to recommend the Uptown location. True the parking can be difficult, but well worth the effort. I guess I have neglected to mention the actual food. We love it and find it quite filling. My favorites are Oats of Steel, Cast Iron Salmon and Kombucha BBQ Chicken, among others. My husband enjoys Oat Bake, Chicken/​Sausage Gumbo, Shredded Beef Tacos, and others. I haven’t cooked in six months! Also, we don’t eat at restaurants. I see concerns by others that MFF is pricey. But we can eat for several days for what we used to spend on one meal at Carrabbas and much the slimmer for it! My husband packs his lunch from MFF and says it is less money than a Subway sandwich and drink and preferable to him. This is just a marvelous concept and product, but you do have to pick the right location. We have tried five so far, but now choose only Uptown park. Thank you Zee and staff! Please know that your efforts do not go unnoticed.
I noticed others have mentioned that Uptown MFF is next to Crave (cupcakes). At first I thought it might be an issue since I used to have a problem with sweets. Now I have decided to consider it a character building exercise to walk by Crave to pick up my MFF order. Quite a liberating experience for me. I take joy in a disciplined life — but that’s just how I’m wired.

I have to say, if I want a quick lunch I walk down to My Fit Foods. My favorites are: Kombucha Pork Tacos and their Forbidden Chicken. Healthy and fast!

I love the idea that eating healthy now has become a regular go-​to term and its not odd to encourage others who might need a little help. I think the best part of this company is that it shows people what a serving size is. You can always add some extra veggies or a salad on your own but changing one’s mindset when looking at a plate size is hard. I especially liked the variety of choices that was in the store. You don’t need to have every meal here but an occasional one would be a good way to go too.

It’s been a few years since I had my fit foods.
The only thing I normally get is the lemon turkey.
I was very disappointed in my meal. Honestly I think a frozen dinner would’ve been better. The amount of turkey was less than before. And the texture to the turkey was different this time. It was broken up in a powdery texture.& didn’t look like ground turkey.
$ 7 for a small portion… so not feeling it being a healthy convenient meal on the go. Makes me want to go to subway!
For less than $ 7 I made my own version of lemon turkey at home that feeds up to 5 – 6 servings.

Eating healthy at work can be a challenge, especially if you forget to pack your lunch. Thank goodness there is a MFF right around the corner from my office!
MFF offers a nice variety of meals & I have tried most. Not only are they affordable but very delicious and filling. I usually hit the store on my way to work on Monday & stock up for the week. Pay attention to the expiration date as I have made the mistake of most of my meals expiring quickly (I have found the meals do freeze & thaw nicely). Here are a few of my favorites:
Blazin’ Shrimp — the shrimp is nicely cooked without being chewy, sitting on a bed of dirty rice with steamed asparagus. Like the name, this dish is spicy & full of flavor. Lean Lemon Turkey — ground turkey served with converted rice with steamed asparagus. They include a lemon wedge to give the dish a nice zing. (I add a couple drops of tabasco). Salmon Stir Fry — salmon with stir fry veggies and converted rice. The salmon is tender & the veggies are crunchy. Turkey-​Loaf — for you meatloaf lovers, this version is hearty with a side of steamed broccoli & whipped cinnamon sweet potatoes which include walnuts. Cynthia’s BBQ Chicken — chicken breast chunks with a light coating of sauce with green beans and mashed potatoes. Turkey Pasta — al dente spaghetti noodles (wheat & gluten free) topped with a zesty marinara with ground turkey. Good Morning Sunshine — the only breakfast I’ve tried. Parboiled rice with egg whites topped with ground turkey & pico de gallo.
Convenient location and budget friendly, MFF is the place to shop. The servings come in small, medium & large (I’ve found small works perfect for me as I usually add a piece of fruit for dessert). The staff is helpful & will offer suggestions if you get confused (I would have never tried the lean lemon turkey, it looks a bit on the bland side). They even offer to carry your purchase out to your car! No wonder this place has become part of my Monday morning routine!

My fit foods is as good as it gets for frozen packaged foods. Food is very well seasoned and tasty. I love their salmon and ground turkey meals for lunch as they always taste very fresh. Service is great! You can walk in and out within 2 min. Great place to grab something healthy while on lunch break.

When I feel lazy cooking and I need a quick to go pack meal, I come and buy some food here. It’s not the most delicious food ever, but hey, when you need to cut down on a lot of things, you need to make sacrifices right?
Anyways. I’m content and I will always come back for their healthy snacks. I like the fact everything is prepared and everything is proportioned right for me. Staffs are very helpful and sweet. Location is great. Pricey it is but I think it’s satisfying and worth it.

Good food, but they over spice some of their products ! My Mother does not even use so much spices are she is Indian from Trinidad !

Yummy in my tummy. And healthy too.

Ok I keep forgetting to add My FIT FOODS to my list of Gluten free friendly places! I gave them 4 stars for ease of use, location, convenience, and peace of mind knowing that I am eating healthy and gluten free food! I wouldn’t say it is THE BEST TASTING food i’ve ever eaten. But it sure beats cooking at home, and when I am in a pinch it is definitely worth the few extra bucks to just grab some pre-​made chicken breasts! This was the first place I ever tasted GLUTEN FREE pasta too! So stop by one and check them out!!!

Love the concept, but the sales person hyped some of the foods up to much\. i wanted something tasty and healthy, haha i don’t think healty and tasty could be on the same line but she said the chili was the best.
i would say its there but flavoring not so much. pretty tasteless.
i would never ever spend that much on a microwavable dinner again.

Mmmmmm… nnnnnnnn…torn on this one.
Good, healthy food, no doubt. Pricey — yes. Small — yes. Satisfying — surprisingly — yes.
I went primarily for Pat Greer’s gluten-​free, vegan, organic cullinary wonders, but left with those and others for friends who share cullinarily snobbish sentiments. It was all good, but it was all quite expensive.
Here’s my bottom line:
I won’t go out of my way for it, I understand why pre-​packaged and prepared food works for so many, and I won’t turn it down if someone suggests it. However, I’m not really a health nut, so I probably won’t be one of their frequent calorie counters. Ultimately I’d rather buy the raw ingredients and make the raw dishes myself, but if I’m in the neighborhood and don’t feel like cooking, I might drop $ 7 for a quick healthy snack.
As with all Uptown establishments, parking is impossible. Park across the street and walk over — I know, not very cool, but with Crave Cupcakes next door, one must do what one must.

I love the food, that is the only reason I give them 3 stars. If I was rating on customer service, they would get NO stars! I have been at this location many times to pick up food and the employees here cannot be bothered to help, smile or acknowledge your presence. Luckily, I have started going to the Northwest Freeway location where the guys there are wonderful. Go to that one instead. Better parking and much better service.

My Fit Foods serves exactly the type of food I’d cook up for myself if I were really THAT committed to losing the last five pounds I’ve been complaining about for a year.
When I visited last week, I got a bowl of their turkey chili (fantastic tasting!) right when I entered. The staff was helpful without being pushy, which I really appreciated.
Most single serving meals are $ 6.50 to $ 7.50, which is about on par with dining out, but so much healthier. More expensive than a Lean Cuisine, but pretty much worth it! MFF doesn’t use preservatives, it’s just all fresh food that’s cooked and must be eaten by the date on the carton. All meals take less than 2 or 3 minutes in the microwave.
On my first visit, I bought Kickin’ Tilapia (served with broccoli and quinoa, although I couldn’t taste the Cajun «kick» at all), Salmon (which I haven’t yet eaten), Mac & Cheese (a little cheese and ground turkey over low-​glycemic pasta… fantastic), and my absolute favorite Lemon Pepper Turkey (sounds strange but oh so good!).
I’d definitely suggest grabbing some Lemon Pepper Turkey and Turkey Chili to start you off. All the foods I tried were good, but those two were just beyond spectacular!

My family came to visit and wanted to go to Crave cupcakes and My Fit Foods is conveniently located just next door. There’s your yin and your yang folks. So in order to fight the temptation, I listened to the little angel on my shoulder… and went to MFF. The setup is completely organized, the people are super friendly, and I wanted to buy everything.
I decided to go with the Waldorf chicken salad and a chicken taco bowl to try it out. The salad was going to expire the next day, so they didn’t charge me… uh, nice! It was a delicious lunch at work the next day… the chicken was seasoned better than I would’ve guessed and it was enough food to fill me up!
Last night I dug into the small chicken taco bowl. It was 280 cals and 4 g of fat… but it was a lot of food!!! Rice, black beans, well-seasoned…it had a kick to it! I was satiated and felt good about eating a healthy meal that was ready in 1.5 minutes.
I have to pick up cupcakes tonight (darn you Crave!!!) so I’m going to drop in for a healthy and quick dinner.

I go here all the time after doing a lap at Memorial on my way back into work. Although most items are relatively expensive for a microwaved meal, overall it’s worth it for the health! I usually grab dinner and then a breakfast item for the next morning.
The workers are very friendly and helpful and not too pushy about the programs that they offer. I prefer this location to the Sheperd one — very new, clean, spacious.
I recommend: Turkey Pasta, Hawaiian chicken, Marine Mash, H-​Town Breakfast, and the Migas. But try it all! The snack tacos are good too.
This kind of food option is great ! Wish there were more good-​tasting, healthy options around town!

Want a healthy, filling meal on the go for about what you’d spend on a going out to eat? You can snag just that at My Fit Foods, and for those of you in the Galleria area, there’s a storefront in Uptown Park which will enable you to choose a perfectly balanced, nutritious breakfast, lunch or dinner that won’t break the bank.
My mom introduced me to My Fit Foods by sharing one of the large meals with me – she’ll sometimes grab a few of their healthy selections as reserve meals for her and my dad, and I was definitely impressed with the chicken dish I shared. After noticing the location near my place on Shepherd, I promptly forgot about My Fit Foods until their appearance at the Unilocal-​sponsored Quince de Mayo party, where I learned that there was a My Fit Foods in Uptown Park, which would enable me to get something for lunch that wouldn’t send me into a food coma but instead perk me up and keep me going during my workday.
Walking into My Fit Foods’ Uptown Park location, to the left hand side there’s a wall of refrigerators filled with premade meals that only need to be heated and eaten. There are two cash registers staffed by smiling employees. Though you can order meals in advance, and even choose 3 – 4 days’ worth of food, I prefer to just walk in during lunch and choose what looks good that day. Since each meal is completely healthful, that’s not a dangerous proposition.
The salmon with brocolli is amazing. Spicy and filling, if it wasn’t labeled as healthy I certainly wouldn’t know it was! Likewise, My Fit Foods’ Lean Lemon Turkey is a rice and ground turkey mixture (served with two spears of asparagus) that proves you don’t have to use fats and oils to make a dish flavorful. Paired with a Greek yogurt and honey hybrid that I hadn’t seen since encountering it in Tesco during my trip to London, I was an instant happy camper.
The only disappointment I’ve encoutered has been My Fit Foods’ version of fettucine alfredo. It definitely LOOKED good, with four slices of lean chicken and a smattering of peas balanced on top of a bed of pasta and sauce. But this is what people THINK of as health food, which immediately makes them shut down and go for the full-​fat alfredo instead. I honestly would’ve preferred a Lean Cuisine to this.
If you’re going to My Fit Foods during lunch to pick up something to eat, I’d recommend going early or very late. Parking at Uptown Park, especially during the noon hour, is crazy stupid and I’ve lucked out with a space every time I’ve visited My Fit Foods through sheer chance.
