JRF Diet Preferences Explained

JRF Diet Preferences Explained

In this article, we'll discuss the various JRF Diet Preferences. You must select a Diet Preference as part of the initial sign-up questionnaire. Your Diet Preference can later be changed as part of your monthly updates or by emailing the customer support team. 

What are the JRF Diet Preferences? 

Please think of the JRF Diet Preferences as the types of diets we offer. The following are the current diet preferences we have available. Please note you cannot select multiple Diet Preferences, so as an example you cannot have both a Vegetarian-based Keto diet, you must choose only ONE diet preference. 

Simple Keto - the basic option of our two Keto Diet Preferences. What we mean by basic is easier to prepare meals that only consist of basic ingredients. You will spend less time preparing these meals but expect less variety. Some meal examples include Keto Egg Scramble, Beef Burger Patties & Avocado, and Chicken, vegetables & butter.

Recipe Based Keto - this option is more for those who don't mind spending a bit more time in the kitchen. Recipe Based Keto is precisely that —recipe-based. You should expect to spend more time preparing these recipe-based meals. Some examples include Cream Cheese Pancakes, Greek Chicken Salad, and Salmon Avocado Poke Bowl. 

General - our general baseline option. A healthy balance between all of the general food items with moderate amounts of carbs. If keeping costs down is at the forefront of your decision, this is the option you should select. Some meal examples include Chicken Stirfry, Beef Wrap & Salad, and French Toast & a protein shake. 

Vegetarian - our vegetarian option; meaning, items that include dairy and eggs can and will be included. Some meal examples are Black Bean Quinoa Salad, Avocado & Mushrooms & Eggs on toast, Banana Almond Smoothie. 

Easy As Bro(Male) - think of this option as the "Simple Keto" option but for the "General" category. Easy As Bro is the stripped-down, bodybuilder style, diet preference. It is for those who enjoy the basics and don't want to spend much time in the kitchen. Some examples are Chicken & Rice, Protein & Oats, and Steak & Rice & Vegetables. 

Low Carb - this diet preference is more or less the general option but with more protein and fat in place of carbs. Expect a carbohydrate intake under 100grams, which can make this option slightly more costly (carbohydrate sources tend to be the cheapest macronutrient). Some meal examples are Feta & Smashed Avo on Rice Thins, Grilled Steak & Sauté Broccoli, and Veggie Sticks & Cream Cheese. 

Gluten-Free - as close to the General diet preference as possible, but gluten-free. 

Please keep in mind that your diet preference is not the only factor to consider when preparing your personalised meal plan. In other words, if you have selected a specific diet preference and do not have a particular meal included in your meal plan, several factors could be contributing to why this meal is not included. These factors may include but are not limited to, your calorie intake, the number of meals you have selected, and your goal.
