Mr. Riss said, \u201cOur success comes from an obsession with quality, consistency, and taking care of our customers.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The meals, made in the company\u2019s headquarters in Ronkonkoma, range from $10 to $12, while frozen meals are $6.50. The dishes are served fully cooked in microwave-safe containers, with a microwave available in-store to heat up your meal immediately (something many local first responders take advantage of).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As employee Nastasia Henze explained, \u201cThe way our meals work, is they\u2019re all already macro-counted, meaning that all the meals that we have are the perfect lunch or the perfect dinner because they have the perfect [amount of] calories.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t follow any specific diets \u2026 it\u2019s all going to be minimal fat and high protein.
