How much space do Nutrisystem foods take up?

I recently received an email from the writer asking how much space she would need to store her nutrisystem meals. She lived in an apartment that was relatively small and didn’t have access to a freezer, so she wasn’t sure if this diet was going to work for her. I assured her that depending on the plan she chooses, she should be able to make it work. I will discuss more about this matter in the next article.

Nutrisystem Advanced Meals Storage: Now, there are frozen entrees with this diet, but they come in a separate plan called Nutrisystem Select. These are restaurant quality meals that are pretty good and require a freezer. However, most people order what is called Nutrisystem Advanced. And these meals have gone through what they call a “soft canning” process that allows the meals and packages to be in a soft bag or small container and lay flat.

Different foods have different packages, but all of them are quite compact. For example, many dinner and lunch foods, such as pastas, stir-fries, and meat meals, come in a round container. These easily stack on top of each other. Hamburgers and hotdogs come in a kind of flat box. And the shakes and puddings come in a very small package that takes up almost no space.

Honestly, I think even a full month’s package that includes five small meals per day could be stored almost entirely in a kitchen cabinet. If you don’t have cabinet space, you can easily put your meals in a plastic container to store them elsewhere. In fact, many of the meals are small enough to fit inside a pull-out drawer. What I mean is that you don’t need to reserve tons of space and you don’t need to limit yourself to small orders just to fit everything.

Buying small orders will cost you more money in the long run, and it’s not necessary anyway. By placing small orders, you are sacrificing the chance to use the really good and substantial coupons that significantly reduce the cost per meal. So if you’re one of those people who are concerned about not having room for nutrisystem, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. And honestly, this meal takes up less space than regular groceries, at least in my experience.
