Customizing Your Order

How do I customize my menu?

While we build a menu for you every week, you are more than welcome to customize your daily meals.

Once you are logged into mybistroMD, click Weekly Menu in the top navigation. Scroll through your next week’s meals and click on the meal you would like to change. Once you have picked out a new meal, click Select to save it to your menu.

All changes to your upcoming order must be made before the customization deadline. If you are on the Weekly Menu Builder page, the time left to customize will be at the top of the page with a date and active countdown. 

Do I need to pick new meals every week?

Your menu will rebalance itself weekly to make sure you are getting the proper nutrients. If you have specific meals you like and dislike, you can manually adjust your meals weekly before the deadline, or visit your preferences section in the mybistroMD dashboard, and our dietitians will create the weekly menu based on your updated preferences.

What is the deadline for customizing my first order?

New customers have until midnight, eastern time, on the day of their order to log into their account and customize or make changes to their first delivery. For all other future deliveries, your deadline will be specific to you. To easily check your personal deadline to customize all orders after your first, please log into your mybistroMD account and view the dashboard.

Do you have a dairy free or lactose intolerant meal program?

Currently, we dont offer a dairy-free program. However, most people with known lactose intolerance are able to handle the small amount of milk that may be present in our entrees and sauces. In these cases, we simply remove the entrees with cheese from their program.

Can you modify a recipe for me?

We don't change our recipes. If we modify recipes by adding or excluding ingredients, this will change the nutritional benefit of the entire entrée. Each ingredient in every entrée that we serve is chosen to supply your body with the right amount of protein, healthy carbohydrates, and healthy fats to feed your body's essential needs.

Our chefs work diligently to make them taste delicious and every recipe is reviewed by our Registered Dietitians for its nutritional benefits. We leave it up to our team of medical experts because of their knowledge and understanding of Dr. Cederquist's unique nutritional foundation for weight loss, as well as the proper way to combine each ingredient for your individual weight loss needs.

Please keep in mind that as you exclude items from your menu, this may limit the variety of your weekly program.

Can I exclude a side dish or a sauce?

Unfortunately, we do not offer the option of selecting different sides to go with your entrées. The entire entrée meets our nutritional foundation to promote healthy weight loss (including sides/sauces).

If you do not wish to receive a particular entrée again, just go online to www.mybistroMD.com and search for the name of the entree to remove from your program or check out this helpful article.

What type of variety will I receive?

At any given time we have over 150 recipes that our chefs prepare. Some of these dishes are seasonal and are made when the ingredients are at the peak of the growing season. With this variety, we are able to limit the number of entrée duplications within a 6-week program.

You can freely choose your entrées to fit your unique preferences. If you would like more or less of a specific menu item, just log on and change your preference. This gives you control over your variety.

If you have allergies, religious preferences, or choose to remove many entrees from your program, this will reduce your variety.

Do you offer snacks?

A big YES to that question! We call them EATS, which stands for Essential and Tasty Snacks.

EATS is an essential part of your bistroMD program and is a different approach to snacking. We encourage snacking! EATS does more than satisfy your sweet tooth and nibble urges, it also boosts your metabolic burn to keep the pounds coming off. With EATS you can snack and still lose weight! To learn even more, check out our EATS page!

How much are EATS?

Our EATS program for women consists of two snacks a day and corresponds with the plan that they are on; either 5 days a week or 7 days a week. The cost is $5.00 a day, weekly sums up to $25(10 snacks) or$35(14 snacks).

Men receive three snacks a day with the plan that theyre on; either 5 days a week or 7 days a week. The cost is $7.50 a day, weekly sums up to $37.50(15 snacks) or $52.50(21 snacks).

Can I only order EATS?

EATS is intended to be a supplement to your bistroMD program and therefore can only be ordered with a 5 or 7 day program.
