Trifecta: Diet & Weight Loss

The idea is great. Whole healthy foods delivered to your door that are easy to prepare, coupled with a mobile and web app to track your eating and exercise habits. The execution however, is infuriatingly awful. The mobile app is barely useable IF it even opens. The web app is difficult to navigate and doesn’t use any modern UX principles. They’re also missing core features that all modern applications have. The mobile app is clearly using some sort of iFrame for the account management, so it doesn’t fit your screen and the loading is slow and awkward. The web app chat feature doesn’t extract your login session to know who you are, so when you’re logged into the app and need help, you enter their customer service as if you’re a new customer. There’s also just a general poor organization of where things are that you might need to do. Modify your excluded ingredients list? In the FAQ, it says “there’s a button to the right where you can do this”. Except… there is no button to the right, and FAQs should NEVER be written like that. It feels like the entire software side of trifecta was handed off to contract developers who got a Google doc of requirements and were told to execute. Meanwhile trifecta itself was staffed with nutrition and meal prep experts. Granted, I’d rather them be good at the food than good at the software if I had to choose, and the food IS good. Avoid if you’re looking for a complete experience though. Competitors are much better. I build software for a living. I’d LOVE to fix whatever is happening on that software team at trifecta.

I absolutely love the meals provided by trifecta! I am not a vegetarian in my every day life, but decided to try the vegetarian meal option with Trifecta. I have been so pleasantly surprised at how delicious the food has been. I look forward to lunch and dinner. I of course would highly recommend cooking the meal according to the recommended cooking method. I cook much of my Trifecta meals in a skillet on the stove top and I have that fives me the best results. In regards to the food tracking app, I wish that there were more consistent calories for the same meals. I have found that it varies despite the fact that it’s the same exact meal. I also wish that similar to other meal tracking apps that there were more diverse options in regards to other foods outside of Trifecta. I definitely need to add in basic foods that I normally do not need to add in and other apps where they are already a part of the app. I think this is just a matter of more people using the app and including those foods in the options. All in all I am very happy so far to be using Trifecta. I should have also noted that I am about two weeks in. I will update after 90 days.

I have been working out for about 7 years now. I have such a hard time getting in calories to fuel my muscles... and when I do get my calories in, usually it’s not the good kind of calories, a lot of processed foods and saturated fats. Reason being, it’s easy and convenient. I never have been one to enjoy cooking and I get sick of the same protein shake and meal prep if I decided to give cooking a go for a couple weeks. I own my own pizza business, so I’m always busy, and always around crazy carbohydrates!! Anyways, long story short, trifecta meal delivery is freaking fantastic. I’m currently in the paleo diet and have been for a few weeks now... I definitely see so much improvement. My muscles are now provided with ample macros after a hard session at the gym. Also, me being a semi picky eater, I have slowly been developing a liking to more healthy options that this company provides (steamed veggies) it’s not always something I’m a fan of, but it’s fuel for my body! I’m putting the time in at the gym, and if like that to reflect on my physic as well. The protein that comes in the meals are fantastic! Again, I am picky, and don’t really like to eat meat. With trifecta, I know at least I’m getting clean, grass fed and organic products... my portion control is limited, and I can actually have a cheat meal or two a week without totally ruining my physic because this company makes it so easy to stay on track. I am a very happy & satisfied customer! Thanks guys! I’ll work more on tracking all my meals on this 90 day challenge! 🖤
