2. Company Introduction SixPackFoods is a unique meal delivery service with a focus on helping people meet their fitness goals. Using expert nutrition ideology, SixPackFoods provides six small, balanced, homemade meals a day. The goal is to stabilize the body's blood sugar by eating smaller meals more frequently throughout the day, thus increasing energy and allowing the body to run more efficiently. The meals offer a carbohydrate-protein ratio that is suited for muscle retention and development, while facilitating fat loss. SixPackFoods is a lifestyle change rather than a "get fit quick" program, which commonly leaves people unsatisfied with results. Capitalizing on current health trends and scientific understanding, SixPackFoods' priorities include a focus on whole foods prepared with minimal processing and use of local, seasonal ingredients. SixPackFoods aims to provide delicious, nutritious meals while saving clients time and effort, and relieving the stress of grocery shopping and food preparation. Creativity, variety, sustainable food sources, and taste are all top priorities for each SixPackFoods meal. SixPackFoods' menus have been reviewed in focus group research, and improved based on customer feedback. SixPackFoods is a company ready for expansion, as the business model has been established.
