Then there's me, trying to stay fit enough not to look out of place in a yoga class full of twenty-somethings.
These meal services have cracked the code—offering custom meal plans that adapt faster than a viral TikTok dance. Want low-carb, high-protein meals that taste better than anything I could attempt on a grill? Done. Need a calorie count that keeps up with teenage sports fiends? No problem.
