How to Choose a Nutrisystem Plan

If you’re new to Nutrisystem, you’re probably wondering why we offer so many weight loss program choices. It’s because of you. You’re unique. You have your own weight loss goals, nutritional needs, taste preferences and of course, budget. We keep all of that in mind when we develop the options we offer, so you have the best diet plan to become the best you.

Which Nutrisystem plan is best for you?

When you’re ready to start losing weight and feeling your best, a program like Nutrisystem, designed by expert weight loss dietitians, is much more effective than trying to lose weight on your own. Nutrisystem is the perfect choice for those looking to change their eating habits, but it is far from a “one-size-fits-all” weight loss plan. You get to make lots of choices along the way to meet your exact needs, starting with choosing from our various plan options.

We offer customizable Nutrisystem plans for women and men, as well as Partner Plans designed for two people. We know this can be a lot to choose from, so we’ve created this guide to help you decide which plan is best for you.

What is included with Nutrisystem?

On Nutrisystem, you’ll eat five to six times a day no matter what plan you choose, so hunger pangs don’t slow you down. Better yet, the meal plans are specially crafted to maximize your weight loss results through a balanced diet and satisfy your taste buds while doing so. And the best part about our weight loss meal plan? The food is delivered right to your door!

With each of our Nutrisystem meal plans, you will receive:

• Ready-made meals you’ll love.
• Top-rated app with one-touch logging to keep you on track.
• Weight loss coaching for 1-on-1 support.
• Delivery straight to your door!

Nutrisystem Plan Comparison

Nutrisystem Complete: For People of All Ages

The Nutrisystem Complete plan includes both pantry-ready (shelf-stable) and frozen menu choices. With this plan, Nutrisystem breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks are shipped to your door every 28 days.

When ordering your plan, you have the option to receive Hearty Inspirations® premium meals. Hearty Inspirations are designed to provide an additional serving of protein and vegetables, requiring fewer grocery add-ins for you.

The first week of this plan is called 7 in 7. This is a lower calorie jumpstart week for the first 7 days of the program. This specially selected first week was created by dietitians to help you lose up to 7 pounds in your first 7 days.*

Designed to prime your body for steady weight loss, you’ll enjoy high protein shakes and bars, plus crave-worthy meals hand picked by nutritionists.

In week 2 and beyond, your meal plan includes 6 daily eating occasions – breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner and evening snack. You’ll enjoy the Nutrisystem foods along with fresh grocery add-ins.

Nutrisystem plans allow you to choose the number of days’ worth of Nutrisystem food you receive each month. Plans that provide less than 7 days’ worth of Nutrisystem food include Flex meals.

If you decide to cook your own meal or dine out at a restaurant, you can follow our easy Flex meal guidelines. Flex meals will replace the Nutrisystem food for that meal occasion. They provide flexibility and teach you how to make your own healthy, balanced meals and snacks.

Your meal plan includes 5 daily eating occasions – breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner. The meal plan is designed to front-load your calories and carbs earlier in the day versus at nighttime. This may help you feel more satisfied and less hungry throughout the day.
