Why Getting Meals Delivered is 100% Healthier Than Take Out

by Elloww Team

Ordering take out is easy, right? Delicious food delivered straight to your door, no dishes to wash or complicated recipes to follow. But whilst the benefits of ordering takeout seem bountiful, there are a lot more disadvantages than you might think. Here are three reasons why buying a meal delivery service is healthier and more cost-effective than ordering take out. 


1. It’s better for you

The main problem with take out is that you don’t always know what’s in it. It’s especially precarious if you’re allergic to a certain ingredient or are trying to cut out things like added salt, gluten or dairy from your diet. Take out is notorious for being higher in fat, salt and preservatives, none of which are good for your body. Having gourmet meals delivered straight to your door, with each designed to be highly nutritious and good for you, means no nasty surprises or funny ingredients in the food you eat. 


2. Wallet-friendly 

It’s a long-acknowledged truth that ordering take-out every single day or even a few times a week can have a significant impact on your finances. Not only are you paying for your food, but you’re often paying an extra service charge, as well as delivery fees: and those costs can start to add up. With a meal delivery service, you can be sure that you’re getting good food delivered straight to your door without hidden extra fees lingering in your bill. 


3. Cater for your specific needs

Every body is different and every body requires a different diet and nutritional regime to achieve its fitness goals. Often, with take out services, if you’re looking to eat a bit healthier you could be relegated to a sad looking salad or a tiny portion.
