Does anyone find Gousto portions to be small?

[cheesetriangles]

Or are we just over eaters?! There was a recipe with chips the other night, and the potatoes included maybe gave us 7 chips each.

We had Gousto tonight, 4 of us, there is enough leftover for 2 of us to have for lunch tomorrow.

No! We have a box for 2. Feeds 3 of us (all adult portions) comfortably and when ds is here we stretch it to 4 (bake some bread or do a bit extra rice / pasta)

Wouldn't it be better to have more protein or veg and add extra carbs yourself? They are so cheap and store long term.

I find the veg portion small, always add extra. But no, the actual meal size is fine for me and I'm not a small eater

Really varies. Tonight made meat free meatballs and pasta. There was loads and it could've served three. I'm greedy and still have 2 balls and sauce left. But a stir fry with prawns last week was very small.

We get Gousto fortnightly. I think the portions are just right, but we tend to get the rice based ones.

Oh absolutely it would @AvengedQuince but when I get Gousto I just want to be cooking the recipe. I enjoy cooking and cook from scratch for almost every meal to but some weeks of the year it's just nice to follow step by step and not bother with anything else.

I also can't seem to get the fable pulled mushrooms' which come up a lot in their recipes anywhere else without them selling out before I can get them in my basket!

We had Gousto about 9 years ago! We bought for 4 and it fed me, large portion husband and hollowed leg teenage son.

We stopped as meals became samey but it was fab as my son.is now a great cook and we often still cook our favorite recipes.

I'm now just on week 2 of hello fresh. Buying 4 meals for me, large portion husband and 1 or 2 to freeze for my elderly dad. They seem OK. A bit light on meat quantity and lots of dishes with added costs (for no apparent reason in some cases). I don't know how long I'll last this time, although the pork and apple burgers were lush!

In our experience the vegetarian meals are big portions, particularly rice and noodle dishes. Their veggie lasagne does about 1.5/2 times the amount! Prawn dishes have a tiny amount of protein per person though.

I have done giusto and hello fresh and found it really variable. The pasta dishes are quite big and other things are quite small.

We weren't big fans to be honest.Much prefer the flexibility you get with SimplyCook and the fact you can make meals/adjust/alter portion sizes.

Thank you for the code x

Really depends on the meal. A lot of the rice/pasta with sauce dishes are huge with a portion left for lunch. The meat, potato, veg style dishes tend not to be enough.

I don't find any of them huge.

They are a bit more generous with rice. But most of the portions are 600 odd calories, hardly a massive portion. I very rarely have left overs with my and DH and we are both healthy weight.

When we first got it I found the portions small but now I find them about right.

I find the pasta / couscous / rice / noodles generous but the potatoes really stingy. I only have veggie / vegan dishes though.

Ditto, a 2 meal box usually easily feeds three of us. Sometimes we add a little extra. The rice portions are huge for us. Never had a problem with the size of potato portions.

Disclaimer: I once started a "massive salad" thread 😀

I find they sometimes look small , but we don’t end up hungry after , so in general I think I do cook too much when I’m doing meals myself . Prefer G to HF , but haven’t had a code for G in ages and refuse to pay full price .

I find them to be generous especially with their chips! We rarely manage to eat all the chips.

Does anyone have a Gousto code to try,have never used them and am interested,tia 🙂

Found one in the promo codes and bargains section,for 70% off a box,will give a try but just cancel after probably.Cant hurt for that discount.😀

We're a family of 5, 3 kid and two adults.
Two of those kids are teens and we make a portion of 4 stretch. Most of the time they do but with potatoes they can be stingy.

Right now its 70% off for new users if anyone would like to use my code

I have used gusto in the past but currently using hello fresh.

We are complete grubbers and not the type to be full after a salad (massive or otherwise!) and do find the hello fresh portions big.

We are veggies, so probably easier to pad out than the meat options perhaps. But would definitely recommend over gousto

another code if anyone else wants 70% off first box and then 20% off for the next 2 months.

Hello Fresh portions are definitely bigger than Gousto but we prefer the quality of ingredients and choice of recipes of Gousto. With Hello Fresh we can feed 4 with a 3 person meal. Find portions about right with Gousto but we do tend to order the veggie recipes so they might be more generous as ingredients are cheaper?
