First of all, Nutrisystem tends to update or change their plans and prices every year.
So it can get confusing if you’re reading an old website or blog post.
Below you’ll find a simple table comparing current Nutrisystem plans and prices at a glance.
(Note that the prices listed below include a special discount that Nutrisystem has given our customers through the links on this website.
If you go directly to the Nutrisystem website, you’ll notice that the prices will be higher):
First of all, you can get a more in depth review of the current plans at this page here .
However in a pinch, I think it really comes down to 3 things:
#1 What’s Your Budget?
#2 Do You Want More Gourmet Frozen Meal Options (Or do you just want the non-refrigerated meals only)?
#3 Do you Want 5 Days of Meals (and snacks) – or 7 Days of Meals?
Let’s break it down:
If you’re on a tight budget, then the Basic plan might be the best option for you. However keep in mind that this is a 5-day plan and you will also be adding in your own store items and small snacks like veggies, cheese etc.
So while the Basic plan does work out cheaper – it’s because you’re not getting as much food.
In this high food inflation environment you may want to consider if the Uniquely Yours Max plan is the best value.
It does come in higher than the Basic plan. However you also get 7 days of food vs 5 days of food. So you won’t be shopping for as much on this plan vs the Basic plan.
If you love your food and want the option of a higher caliber of meals, then you’ll probably want to get the more gourmet frozen meal options that come with the Uniquely Yours or Uniquely Yours Max options.
If you look at the meal ratings on the main Nutrisystem site, you’ll notice that the frozen meals consistently rate higher with Nutrisystem dieters than the non-frozen meals.
And if you want the ultimate in pampering, you might want to step up to the Uniquely Yours Max plan – which also gives you the Hearty Inspiration meals . These are higher protein meals designed to keep you fuller for longer.
So if you really don’t want to feel hungry at all – but you still want to lose weight, this plan might be your best option.
On the other hand, if you tend to always be on the go and you just need meals that are packaged for portability -then the Basic plan might be better suited to your tastes.
You can easily carry these meals with you without worrying that they have to be refrigerated or frozen. So it really depends on what you prefer.
Basic and Uniquely Yours give you 5 days of breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks. This means you have the weekend free to make your own meals or what Nutrisystem calls “Flex” meals.
You don’t have to do this on the weekend – it can be any 2 days of the week where you add in your own meals. You will get guidelines from Nutrisystem, recipes, ideas, tips and an eating out guide as well to help you plan these Flex meals.
So if you want a bit of a break from the diet then this is a great option.
On the other hand, if you’re busy and don’t really have time (or want) to prepare your own Flex meals, then you’ll probably want to choose Uniquely Yours Max plan – which gives you all 7 days worth of breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks.
This is a great time saving option and it’s only about $3.50 more a day than UY 5-day plan. So it’s a pretty good value overall.
So which is the best option for you?
Well, at the end of the day, it comes down to you – what do YOU want. Which meals do you prefer? Do you need a bit more pampering? Do you have the time to prepare meals yourself for 2 days or the week – or do you want it all done for you?
The great thing about this diet is that you can choose the Nutrisystem plans and prices that best suit your lifestyle. And you can still lose weight very fast in a safe, enjoyable manner.
