A sit-down lunch in Riverside runs $15–20 before tip. Dinner in LA? Add another $25–40. By Thursday most people have spent $100 on food they didn’t plan, don’t remember, and definitely didn’t hit their macros with.
OTS Meal Prep flips that equation. Real food, real portions, real prices — and you know exactly what you’re getting every time.
The Real Cost of Eating Out in SoCal
Fast casual: $12–18 per meal. Sit-down: $20–35. Delivery apps add 20–30% in fees before tip. Five lunches and five dinners eating out in Southern California can run $200–300 without trying.
That’s not a food budget — that’s a car payment.
What OTS Actually Costs
Overnight Oats: $6. Protein Wraps: $10–12. Specialty Meals: $15–20. A full week of OTS meals — breakfast, lunch, and dinner — can run $70–110 depending on your selections.
Free shipping kicks in at $100. First-time order gets 35% off with code VEGAN35. That’s a week of real, chef-prepped food for less than three restaurant meals.
The Time Cost You’re Not Counting
Grocery shopping: 45 minutes. Meal prepping Sunday: 2–3 hours. Cleaning up: 30 minutes. That’s nearly four hours a week you’re spending to do what Chef Alec does professionally.
Your time has value. OTS buys it back.
Who This Works Best For
People with structured fitness goals who need consistent macros. Busy professionals who can’t afford to think about food at 7pm. Anyone who’s tired of spending $18 on a mediocre burrito bowl that doesn’t actually fill them up.
If you’re already spending $150+ a week on food in SoCal, OTS is almost certainly cheaper — and the food is better.
