Frequently Asked Questions
Is Trifecta or Factor better for GLP-1 users?
Trifecta wins on protein: 35 to 55g per meal vs 25 to 45g on Factor. Protein preservation matters most for GLP-1 users to prevent muscle loss. Factor wins on variety (34+ weekly meals vs 10 to 12 on Trifecta) and price ($11+ vs $14+ per meal).
Can I use both Trifecta and Factor at the same time?
Yes. Some GLP-1 users use Trifecta for their main protein-focused meals and Factor for lighter options. Both allow weekly customization.
Which is cheaper, Trifecta or Factor?
Factor is cheaper. Factor starts at about $11 per meal. Trifecta starts at about $14 per meal. Both are subscription-based with flexible weekly ordering.
Which is better for keto on GLP-1?
Both offer keto plans. Trifecta's keto plan tends to be stricter in carbs and higher in protein. Factor's keto option has more variety. If strict keto is your goal, Trifecta is the better fit.
Which service has more variety, Trifecta or Factor?
Factor wins by a wide margin. Factor offers 34 or more rotating meals per week. Trifecta runs 10 to 12 weekly meal choices per plan. If menu fatigue is a concern, Factor reduces the chance of food aversion on GLP-1.
Which is better for muscle preservation on GLP-1?
Trifecta. Higher per-meal protein (35 to 55g vs 25 to 45g) means you hit your daily protein target with fewer meals. Muscle loss is the primary nutrition risk on Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro, so per-meal protein density matters more than weekly variety.
Does either service offer dietitian consultations?
Both do, in different forms. Factor offers paid registered dietitian consultations as an add-on. ModifyHealth includes them free with the subscription. Trifecta provides general macro guidance through its plan structures but does not include 1-on-1 RD calls.
Can I switch between Trifecta and Factor weekly?
