"I will admit to being afraid of scales-the kind that weigh you, not the ones on a snake. And so my first reaction to the idea I'd be getting a free body-scanning scale with a Factor prepared meal kit subscription was something akin to "Oh no!" It's always bad or shameful news, I figured, and maybe nothing I don't already know. Though, as it turned out, I was wrong on both points."
"Factor is, of course, the prepared meal brand from meal kit giant HelloFresh, which I've tested while reviewing dozens of meal kits this past year. Think delivery TV dinners, but actually fresh and never frozen. Factor meals are meant to be microwaved, but I found when I reviewed Factor last year that the meals actually tasted much better if you air-fry them (ideally using a Ninja Crispi, the best reheating device I know)."
"If you subscribe between now and the end of March, the third Factor meal box will come with a free Withings Body Comp scale, which generally retails north of $200. The Withings doesn't just weigh you. It scans your proportions of fat and bone and muscle, and indirectly measures stress levels and the elasticity of your blood vessels. It is, in fact, WIRED's favorite smart scale, something like a fitness watch for your feet."
Initial reactions to receiving a body-scanning scale include fear and dread. Factor is the prepared meal brand from HelloFresh that delivers fresh, never-frozen microwavable meals that often taste better when air-fried in a Ninja Crispi. Factor focuses on low-carb, protein-rich meals aimed at weight loss and muscle gain. Regular-price meals cost $14 to $15 per serving plus $11 shipping per box, with discounted first-week offers available. Subscribers who sign up by the end of March receive a free Withings Body Comp scale with the third meal box using code CONWITHINGS. The Withings measures body fat, bone, muscle, and provides indirect stress and vascular elasticity metrics.
