  • PrepXPerformance is a Los Angeles-based meal preparation company that specializes in crafting healthy, gourmet meals with a ho e-cooked touch. Our establishment emerged as a local alternative to larger national companies that distribute mass-produced food weekly. At PrepX, we go the extra mile by personally delivering all our meals, utilizing locally sourced ingredients, and dedicating ourselves to the highest standards of craftsmanship, ensuring attention to detail is paramount in every dish.

  • Driven by our founder Mat Proulx's expertise in personal training, professional culinary arts, and nutrition coaching, our team understands the diverse needs of the fitness community. We design our menu to support various fitness and wellness goals without compromising on taste.

    At PrepXPerformance, our team of chefs is deeply immersed in the fitness community, intimately familiar with the challenges of both bulking and cutting phases.

    Recognizing that adhering to the stereotypical 'Bodybuilder Diet' of plain chicken, rice, and broccoli can be neither sustainable nor enjoyable, we've meticulously curated our menu to cater to individuals pursuing various health and wellness goals.

    For those aiming to build muscle, we offer higher-calorie, protein-dense meals. Conversely, we provide lower-calorie, carb-free options for those focused on cutting body fat. And, of course, we understand the significance of indulging in what some might deem 'cheat meals'—an essential component of a sustainable diet, in our opinion!

    Each of our dishes is thoughtfully crafted as a healthier rendition of its traditional counterpart. We eschew excess butter and oils, steering clear of unnecessary calories, and minimize the presence of empty, simple carbohydrates. Our meals are not only nutritionally dense but also designed to provide sustained energy throughout the day, delivering the essential micronutrients your body and brain need to function optimally.

  • Not at all! Enjoy the freedom to order as much or as little as you like, without the constraints of subscriptions or minimum orders. However, for added convenience, explore our discounted 'Chef’s Choice' meal packages if you prefer ordering monthly.

  • At PrepXPerformance, we take pride in offering high-quality, gourmet meals at prices that won't break the bank. Despite being a small, local company, we've strategically positioned ourselves to be more cost-effective per meal than larger meal prep companies like Factor.

    Unlike many competitors, we believe in transparent pricing without the need for long-term subscriptions. Most meal prep companies offer affordability only if you commit to a subscription for numerous meals, potentially leaving you with more than you need each week.

    Key Points:

    • Individual Affordability: Despite our small size, we're committed to making our meals as affordable as possible at the individual level. We understand the value of providing quality without compromising your budget.

    • No Subscriptions Required: With PrepXPerformance, you have the freedom to order without worrying about mandatory subscriptions. Enjoy the flexibility to start, pause, or stop your orders whenever it suits you. We believe in putting you in control of your meal planning.

    • Savings and Discounts: While we do offer savings and discounts on larger orders for your convenience, we want to assure you that these are provided to enhance your experience, not to pressure you into unnecessary purchases. Our focus is on delivering delicious meals that align with your preferences.

    In summary, at PrepXPerformance, we prioritize affordability, transparency, and flexibility. Our goal is to provide you with a satisfying culinary experience without the constraints imposed by mandatory subscriptions. Feel free to explore our menu, order what you desire, and enjoy the convenience of managing your orders according to your needs.

  • Orders can be placed from Monday at 9:00 AM until Tuesday at midnight for Thursday delivery, or Friday at midnight for Sunday delivery. Our dedicated chefs then swing into action, taking note of customizations, sourcing the finest ingredients, and preparing everything on Wednesday and Saturday evenings.

    Our hand-crafted meals are available for pickup or delivery every Thursday and Sunday.

  • Ordering is easy! Explore our menu, add meals to your cart, select any modifications, and proceed to checkout. Depending on your desired pickup/delivery day, your order will be prepared either on Wednesday or Saturday and will be ready for pickup or delivery on Thursday or Sunday.

  • At PrepXPerformance, we understand the importance of making informed choices about the food you consume. That's why we go the extra mile to provide comprehensive nutrition information for each of our dishes.

    We post nutrition information for each and every meal in the following ways:

    1. FDA-Standard Labels: We take pride in creating FDA-standard nutritional labels for every dish on our menu. These labels include essential information such as calories, protein, fat, and carbohydrates, empowering you to make choices aligned with your dietary goals.

    2. On-Meal Details: For your convenience, you'll find macro-nutrient information directly on each individual meal container. This ensures that you have access to crucial nutritional details at a glance, allowing you to stay on track with your nutritional objectives.

    3. Online Breakdown: When exploring our menu online, clicking on the page for a specific dish will provide you with a comprehensive nutritional breakdown. This detailed information allows you to make choices that suit your dietary preferences and requirements.

    4. Nutrition Hub: For a quick overview of all our nutritional information in one place, visit our Nutrition Hub. This centralized resource is designed to provide you with a convenient snapshot of the nutritional content across our entire menu.

    Our commitment to transparency extends beyond just numbers. In addition to nutritional breakdowns, we also highlight potential health benefits from the ingredients we use. We believe that understanding what goes into your meals empowers you to make choices that align with your overall well-being.

    At PrepXPerformance, we're dedicated to making your culinary experience not only delicious but also informed. Feel confident in your choices with our detailed nutritional information, easily accessible whether you're browsing online or heating up a meal.

  • Absolutely! Customize your meals to accommodate allergies, dietary restrictions, or personal preferences. Our commitment to accessibility means we welcome modifications, allowing you to tailor your meals to your liking without additional charges for most requests.

    Each time you add an item to your cart, a text box will appear where you can request any modifications or substitutions.

    We want to make our meals accessible for everyone, so if you have custom dietary needs, we are happy to meet them!

  • Most of our meals can be easily modified to suit a vegan or vegetarian diet. Simply let us know your preference, and we'll gladly substitute animal proteins with plant-based alternatives like tofu, vegetables, or your preferred ingredients.

    For added convenience, explore our 'Vegan Meal Packages' available in our Meal Packages section. These curated packages simplify your choices, offering a selection of delicious, plant-based meals to make your ordering experience seamless.

  • If you're new to PrepX, consider our 'New Customer Sampler Package' for a taste of our weekly entrees, breakfast options, and desserts.

    Alternatively, explore our menu and add a few items that catch your eye to create your own culinary experience.

    Remember, we have no order minimums!

  • We empower you to create your own dietary plan by providing comprehensive nutrition information and customizations. Our goal is to make your meals enjoyable, sustainable, and aligned with your fitness goals, without the need for rigid diet plans.

    However, if you have specific goals in mind and are looking to put your orders on autopilot, we offer Double Protein, Calorie Smart, and Balanced meal packages.

  • Meals are ready for delivery and pickup every Thursday and Sunday. Delivery is a flat fee of $18 for anywhere in Los Angeles. If you have specific scheduling needs, let us know, and we'll happily work around your availability for a custom delivery window.

    Alternatively, you can always pick up your meals for free at our home base location located in Culver City. You’ll receive a message when your meals are ready, and you can pick them up within the specified pickup window.
