Q: How much does it cost?

A: Methodology is a high-end, sustainable meal prep service for busy professionals and families who don’t have time to cook on weekdays yet want the highest quality, sustainable, nourishing meals and packaging. Meals start at $18 each and can go as high as $28 when luxury ingredients such as black cod or lobster are included.

Q: Is it calorie-controlled?

A: Yes our meals are calorie-controlled, with Standard meals between 300-450 calories and Large meals between 600-1000 calories.

Q: What cities do you deliver to?

A: Right now we deliver to:

• The San Francisco Bay Area (North Bay, San Francisco, East Bay, Peninsula)

• Southern California (Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego counties)

If you want to be notified when we launch in your city, then sign up here and we'll email you as soon as we deliver to your area.

Q: Can you accommodate food allergies?

A: We can accommodate many food allergies. 

Our menu is free of gluten, dairy, and refined sugar.

Note: many of our items are prepared in facilities that process wheat, soy, peanuts, dairy, and tree nuts. Though we take care to prevent cross-contamination, if you have an extreme allergy please note that cross-contamination is still a possibility with our food.

During signup, you’ll be able to add Foods to Avoid to your account settings to ensure that menu items with your allergans are never automatically assigned to you. We also flag these items on the menu for you so you don’t accidentally add them to your order.

We can’t accommodate allergies to garlic or onion as these items are used throughout most of the savory menu. Also, most menu items are made with tree nuts, so if you have a tree nut allergy, your options with us will be very limited.

If you have questions about our ability to accommodate your food allergies, please email us at help@gomethodology.com so we can discuss whether we'll be able to cook for you.

Q: Can you accommodate diets like Keto, Paleo, Mediterranean, Pescatarian, or Vegan?

A: Yes! We’ll ask whether you follow any common diets when you sign up. If you don’t see the diet you follow on that page, you’ll have the opportunity to tell us which foods you avoid so we can assign food that works for you.

We have lots of Vegan, Vegetarian, Mediterranean, and Pescatarian prepared meal options available. There is a vegan version of almost every meal.

For Keto and Paleo, we don’t offer many preset meals that cater to these diets; however, our Mix ‘n Match jars work perfectly for these diets. These protein and vegetable jars allow you to assemble meals that fit your diet or meal plan easily.

Q: Why do you offer subscriptions?

A: Because putting healthy eating on auto-pilot is the best way for busy people to eat clean consistently enough to feel their absolute best every day. Most people struggle with getting the results they want from healthy eating because of lack of consistency, not because they’ve picked the wrong diet. Eating whole, unprocessed foods with ample vegetable variety and in the right portion size, when done consistently, is life changing when part of a lasting lifestyle. You can pause or cancel with one week's notice.

Q: How do I get my meals?

A: Your meals are delivered overnight by 6AM every Monday and/or Thursday in an insulated box at the location of your choice. No coordination is necessary.

Q: How do I dispose of the box and other materials?

A: Packaging pickup is available in some regions for recycling or disposal. In these regions we’ll pick up rinsed glass jars, ice packs, and insulated liners in the cooler box we originally delivered to you (please don’t re-seal the box). We’ll pick up one box per house per delivery.

Otherwise, glass jars and plastic containers can be recycled. Check with your local recycling center to see if the liners are recyclable in your area. Ice packs can be reused or thrown in the trash.

Q: Are meals fully cooked?

A: Yes, all our meals are ready to eat and can be reheated in a microwave or on a stove top in less than 5 minutes.

For most meals (salads are the exception), we recommend reheating your meal on the stove top for best results, ideally with a cast iron pan and avocado oil spray to keep food from sticking to the pan.

Q: How is the food packaged?

A: Most items are packaged in glass jars. Occasionally an item might be packaged in a leak-proof, microwave-safe plastic container if the food is likely to break or can’t fit easily into a glass jar, such as a breakfast pancake or delicate fish filet. We almost always design our meals to fit in glass jars.

Q: What if I travel?

A: We've got you covered. You can pause your subscription anytime; we just ask that you give us by Sunday at 11pm the week before the start of the delivery week. To pause your subscription, log into your Methodology account and skip the appropriate delivery/deliveries.
