Nutrisystem is a weight loss program consisting of prepackaged meals that are delivered to your door. The meals are based on food choices you make at Nutrisystem's website. There are programs designed for women and men, and the calorie content depends on the plan you choose.

Meals and Snacks

Nutrisystem programs have you eating three meals and two snacks a day. Each plan consists of low-glycemic foods, omega-3 fatty acids to promote your heart health and fiber to promote satiety and fullness after each meal.

Women's and Men's Plans

The calorie content of the plans depends on gender. The women's plans are based on about 1,200 calories per day. The men's plans contain about 1,500.

Warning

It may be difficult for you to adapt once you finish the program and no longer use prepackaged meals. Since preparing your own healthy meals is not taught, there is a greater chance you may regain the weight you previously lost.
