Eat Crush Meals

What Eat Crush Meals is

Eat Crush Meals is a New Orleans meal prep company that sells fully cooked meals you reheat, not a kit you cook. Its homepage headline is "15 Chef-prepared, macro-balanced meals delivered to your door," with plans "starting at $135/week," and it pitches the whole operation at weight loss: the site calls itself "Healthy Meal Prep For Weight-Loss" from a "New Orleans-Chef." It ships nationwide and also runs local pickup in the New Orleans area. If you want a set week of portion-controlled meals with Southern cooking in the mix, and you'd rather not count calories yourself, this is what it sells.

The marketing leans hard on results. The homepage promises "Lose 8-12 lbs in 5 weeks without cooking or counting calories," the plan description adds "Lose Up To 12 lbs. In Five Weeks," and the menu page claims "Women Lose Up To 2lbs Per Wk. Men Lose Up To 4lbs. Per Wk." Those are Eat Crush's own claims. The site doesn't say how it arrived at those figures, and we can't vouch for them; treat them as advertising.

How ordering works

The site sells a handful of plans. The SENSIBLE Weight Loss Plan is the main one, which the company describes as "A Chef-crafted and nutritionist approved program thats recommended for a balanced approach to health & wellness." It "Includes 15 delicious meals: 5 Breakfasts, 5 Lunches and 5 Dinners." You can switch the portion to "Double the Protein" for an extra $25, and add seafood for $5; the default leaves seafood out. The CRUSH HIGH PROTEIN/LOW CARB plan is billed as "NEXT LEVEL Weight-Loss" and "paleo-friendly." The CRUSH BREAKFAST option "Includes 15 delicious breakfast meals," which the company describes as "Two Weeks Of Breakfast."

The terms are relaxed. The homepage promises "no long-term commitment" and says you can "skip a week when you need, and cancel anytime," and it also says "No subscription required," though the product page carries a standard recurring-purchase notice at checkout, so read what you're agreeing to before you pay. The "How it works" section mentions "weekly or monthly deliveries." The menu changes regularly; the product page promises "regularly updated and refreshed menus," and one customer quoted on the homepage praises the "weekly menu changes."

What it costs

Eat Crush publishes its prices, which is more than many services in this category do:

• SENSIBLE Weight Loss Plan: $135.00 for 15 meals. The homepage frames this as "Starting at $9 per meal." Double the Protein adds $25, and seafood adds $5.
• CRUSH HIGH PROTEIN/LOW CARB: "starting at only $9.65/meal."
• CRUSH BREAKFAST: $120.00 for 15 breakfasts, with the homepage quoting breakfasts "starting at only $8 /meal."

The company claims it is "cheaper & healthier than UberEats/DoorDash" and promises "no hidden fees." Shipping, though, is "calculated at checkout," and the site doesn't publish a shipping rate, so the delivered price for someone outside New Orleans isn't known until the cart. These are regular prices, not a first-box offer; the only promotion on the site is a newsletter prize draw for a free week of meals.

The food itself

The meals are "100% pre-cooked" and come in microwave-safe containers, so you heat and eat. The SENSIBLE plan page says it averages "1100 to 1300 per day" in calories and is "High in protein count, low carbs, low sugar, and low sodium," while a line lower on the same page says "Standard meals provide a nutritious 1000-1200 calories per day," with the Double the Protein option at "1300-1500 calories per day." Those ranges don't quite agree, so if a daily calorie target matters to you, ask. The menu page describes the Single Protein Weight-Loss Program as "an average of 6oz to 9oz" per meal.

The menu has a clear New Orleans accent. Recent dishes on the site include a Southern Omelette Breakfast with cheesy grits, a Peach Cobbler Waffle with grilled chicken sausage, a Cheesy Beef Scramble with sweet potato hash browns, a Meat Pie Plate with dirty rice and Southern-style green beans, Shepards Pie (as the menu spells it) with green bean casserole, Hibachi Chicken over fried rice, Italian Sausage and Peppers with penne, and a Creamy Chicken Poblano Pepper Soup. The breakfast plan adds a Bacon, Ham & Cheese Scramble, an Egg Bite Breakfast with grits and a Gluten Free Blueberry Muffin marked keto friendly.

The site warns that "All meals may contain allergens," and it doesn't offer allergen-free or diet-specific lines beyond the high-protein, low-carb plan.

Who it reaches

Eat Crush says it delivers "Nationwide To Your Door Weekly," and it offers local pickup at its own location at 1524 Edwards Ave. Ste. 3 in Elmwood, on Sundays from 4:00pm to 6:00pm, and at Mrs Wheat's Louisiana Meat Pies at 2514 Agriculture St. in New Orleans, on Mondays by appointment. The site doesn't describe how shipped meals are packed (chilled or frozen), which carrier it uses, or how many days they take to arrive.

What the site leaves open, and who it suits

The customer reviews on the company's own product page are worth reading because they aren't all glowing. The plan shows 45 reviews, and alongside praise for the food, one reviewer says containers "arrived broken," another writes "Delivery is not dependable, food very good," and a third says there are "too much potatoes and rice in almost every meal." Another reviewer felt some meals were high in calories for a weight-loss plan. Those are individual experiences, but they line up with the gaps on the site: no shipping cost, no packing details, and calorie figures that vary from line to line.

Eat Crush Meals suits someone in or near New Orleans who can pick up on a Sunday, or anyone elsewhere who likes the idea of a fixed, affordable week of Southern-leaning, portion-controlled meals and is willing to check shipping at checkout. The published prices and no-commitment terms are real strengths. It suits less well anyone with food allergies, anyone who needs precise nutrition data per meal, or anyone who wants weight-loss results backed by more than the company's own promises.
