Variety vs. Custom Meal Prep: Which Is Right for You?
Let us pick for you, or pick your own.
At Fit For You Guam, you have two ways to enjoy our meal prep programs. Let our team select your meals with Variety, or take more control over your ingredients with Custom. Here's how to decide which works best for you.
Two options. One simple goal: making meals easier.
Neither choice is universally better. Variety prioritizes convenience and a rotating assortment. Custom prioritizes ingredient control and individualized choices.
We choose. You enjoy.
Ideal for customers who prefer convenience and do not want to select individual ingredients. Meals are selected by FFYG from the applicable menu.
- Less decision-making
- Rotating prepared meals
- Simple ordering
- No need to select each ingredient
Your preferences. Your meal plan.
Ideal for customers who want more control over meal composition. Customers choose from currently available ingredient options.
- Protein selections
- Carbohydrate selections where applicable
- Vegetable choices where available
- Supported macro-target configurations
- Better suited to specific ingredient preferences
What's the actual difference?

Love surprises? Let us handle the choices.
Variety is suited to customers who enjoy different meals and prefer not to select individual components. The FFYG team chooses meals according to the applicable weekly menu. Examples include Wholesome, Low-Cal, Increased Protein, and Keto Variety, subject to current availability.
Because Variety meals follow our planned production menu, we're unable to make individual ingredient changes or exclusions within this program. If you avoid certain foods, Custom is the better place to start.
Have specific preferences? Custom may be your better fit.
Some customers prefer particular proteins. Some avoid certain ingredients. Others have specific macronutrient targets. Custom makes it possible to select from the ingredients and configurations currently available.
You might say:
- "I don't eat beef."
- "I prefer chicken and seafood."
- "I want more control over my carbohydrate portions."
- "I follow specific macro targets."
- "I prefer choosing my vegetables."
If that sounds like you, ask about Custom rather than expecting modifications to Variety.
Keto / No-Carb
A quick note about Keto Variety.
Different protein flavors. Consistent vegetables within each prep set.
Our Keto / No-Carb Variety program works a little differently from what some customers expect when they hear the word "Variety." Protein flavors or preparations can change from day to day, depending on the actual weekly menu. The vegetable selection stays the same within each production set.
Generally Monday to Wednesday
Protein flavors or preparations may change across the applicable days. The vegetable assortment stays consistent throughout the set.
Generally the rest of your plan's days
Covers the later days included in your plan. Protein flavors or preparations may change by day. The vegetable assortment stays consistent throughout that set, and may or may not differ from the Sunday set.
Illustration: how a week could look
Illustration only. Labels below are abstract examples. This is not the current Keto menu, not a promise of a different flavor every day, and not a promise that vegetables change between sets. Your actual meal days depend on the plan you purchase.

A different flavor does not always mean a different protein. Chicken prepared two different ways counts as a change in flavor or preparation.
Your proteins can offer changing flavors throughout the week while the vegetables remain consistent within each production set. This is normal for our Keto Variety program.
Two production runs. A more organized week.
We prepare meals in two sets each week so they stay fresh. You receive the meals included in your particular schedule.
Sunday
Preparation for the first part of the week, generally Monday through Wednesday.
Wednesday
Preparation for the second part of the week, covering the later days included in your plan.
Standard pickup is generally 10 AM to 6 PM on the published pickup days. Not every customer orders seven days of meals. Please confirm pickup details with our team when you order. See delivery details.
Which option sounds more like you?
Question 1 of 3
Do you need to exclude specific ingredients?
This is general guidance, not an order, and not a guarantee of any accommodation. Please don't enter personal health information here.
Let's clear up the details.
What is the difference between Variety and Custom?
With Variety, Team FFYG selects your meals from the applicable weekly menu. With Custom, you choose from the proteins, carbohydrates, and vegetables we have available for the production period, and our team confirms what we can accommodate. Variety is built for convenience. Custom is built for more control.
Can I exclude beef from a Variety meal plan?
No. Variety meals are selected by Team FFYG from the applicable menu. Ingredient substitutions, exclusions, and special requests are not available under Variety. If you avoid beef or another ingredient, please start with Custom.
Can I request only chicken under Variety?
No. Under Variety, Team FFYG chooses the proteins on the menu, so we can't limit a plan to one protein. If you prefer specific proteins, ask about Custom and our team will confirm what we can offer.
Can I change vegetables in Variety?
No. Vegetable selections in Variety follow the planned production menu and can't be changed or excluded. If you want to choose your vegetables, Custom is the better starting point, subject to availability.
How are Variety meals selected?
Team FFYG selects Variety meals from the applicable weekly menu. Menus are posted on our weekly menu page, which is updated every Monday night.
Does Variety change every day?
Variety is a rotating assortment chosen by our team from the weekly menu, so you are not choosing the same meal every day. Exactly what you receive follows that week's menu, and we can't guarantee a different meal on every single day.
Why do Keto Variety meals sometimes have the same vegetables?
Our Keto Variety meals feature changing protein flavors and preparations throughout the week. To keep our production organized and consistent, the vegetable selection stays the same within each preparation set. We prepare meals on Sundays and Wednesdays, so vegetable selections may change between those production sets, but they do not necessarily change every day.
Do Keto protein flavors change daily?
Protein flavors or preparations can differ from day to day, depending on the actual weekly menu. A different flavor does not always mean a different protein. For example, chicken prepared two different ways counts as a change in flavor or preparation.
What happens between Sunday and Wednesday production?
We run two production sets each week. The Sunday set generally covers the first part of the week (Monday through Wednesday). The Wednesday set covers the rest of the days included in your plan. Vegetables stay consistent within a set and may or may not differ from the other set, depending on the menu and inventory.
Can I choose proteins under Custom?
Yes. With Custom you choose from the proteins we have available for that production period, such as chicken, turkey, seafood, or beef, plus other options when offered. Availability changes, so our team confirms your selections.
Can I choose carbohydrate sides under Custom?
Yes, where the program includes carbohydrate sides, such as white rice, brown rice, potatoes, or yams, subject to availability. Keto / No-Carb meals do not include starchy sides.
Can I customize macronutrient targets?
Custom can support certain macro-target configurations, weighed and portioned to approved targets. Not every target can be accommodated, so complete our assessment form and our team will review it so Coach Ryan can recommend a starting point.
Does Custom cost more than Variety?
Custom pricing may differ from Variety. Our team will confirm current pricing for your Custom plan before you order.
Are all Custom ingredients available every week?
No. Custom choices depend on current inventory, the program type, our production schedule, and the preparation and portioning methods we support. Some ingredients may not be available every week.
Can FFYG accommodate food allergies?
We can't guarantee allergy-safe preparation or every requested accommodation. Variety does not allow ingredient exclusions. If you have a food allergy or a medical dietary need, please check with your doctor and contact our team before ordering so we can tell you honestly what we can and can't do.
Where can I see the current Variety menu?
View the weekly meal prep menus on our weekly menu page, updated every Monday night. Menus show the base menu for the week.
How do I submit my Custom choices?
Start by completing our assessment form. Our team will follow up to confirm your selections and what we can accommodate for the production period.
Can I switch between Variety and Custom?
Please talk with our team about adjusting your plan. Whether a change is possible depends on timing and our production schedule, so we can't promise one in advance.
Does choosing Custom change my program duration?
Variety and Custom describe how your meals are selected. Your program length is the plan you choose when you order. Please confirm the details of your plan with our team.
Who should I contact if I'm unsure?
