General FAQs
Does Yellow Picnic offer different meal programs?
Yes! At Yellow Picnic, we know how demanding and stressful sticking to a meal plan is, and we believe eating shouldn’t be. So we offer a variety of different meal programs designed to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle.
Our Signature Lifestyle plan follows an 80/20 model, where 80% of the meals are super nutrient dense and more focused on nutrition and healthy eating, and 20% are treats – yes, treats! Think delightful cookies, hearty pasta dishes, and scrumptious paellas. This plan is all about creating sustainable changes that drastically improve your lifestyle. So you can find balance to secure long-term health goals. Long-term change is only achievable when small changes become practical, and sustainable. The goal of the Signature Lifestyle plan is to develop and maintain a healthy relationship with food by never feeling deprived. You get to enjoy eating, while you work to reach your goals.
(Coming Soon) The Beet & Beat Plan is designed for more immediate intense change. This plan includes only nutrient dense meals, and caters from breakfast to dinner, with healthy snacks to keep you fueled. The ingredients for this plan are 100% whole foods, so you can give your body all the nutrition it needs to perform optimally while you work to reach your goals.

My meal said it would come with broccoli but I received green beans. Why?
At Yellow Picnic, we prioritize fresh ingredients, and we don’t compromise on nutrients. Sometimes, if we’re unable to source a specific ingredient, we need to make swaps so you don’t miss out on any nutrients. Freshness is also non-negotiable for us, so we aim for ingredient swaps that keep to our fresh, whole-food philosophy.
Can I modify the menu I receive?
Sustainable change is all about what you enjoy. We always do our best to create delicious meals, but we completely understand that everyone has a food that they just can’t stand.
So, in the spirit of sustainable change and hitting those goals, we’re more than happy to swap out certain foods based on your personal preference. All you need to do is specify your request in the ‘notes’ section of your order.
How long do the meals last?
At Yellow Picnic, we prepare your meals freshly with no artificial preservatives. This means that your Yellow Picnic meals should last about 7 days, but please take note, this can vary. All of your meals are labeled with the ‘use by’ date, so you can be sure. We recommend that if you are unable to consume your meal by the last date on the label, you freeze it and reheat from frozen when you’re ready to enjoy it.
What are the calorie counts for the different goals?
While calorie counts vary per meal, in general these are the estimates:
Lose Weight: 400-500 Calories
Maintain Weight: 500-650 Calories
Gain Weight: 600-750 Calories
You can select your preference in the Control Macro section at checkout.
