Monterrey
Coming soon
Monterrey and its metro area are the industrial engine of the north. San Pedro, San Nicolás, Guadalupe, Apodaca and Santa Catarina grew up against the city and now work as a single labor market.
It is a city of long hours and driving. Gym culture runs deep here, and with it a clear demand for food with measured portions.
Meal prep here today
Meal prep has worked here for years, particularly on the sports nutrition side: businesses selling by macros, with protein and carbohydrate weighed per portion.
Almost all of them run on Instagram and WhatsApp. Comparing two plans means requesting two menus by message and waiting for both to answer.

How Platera helps
Geography decides here: the mountains split the city, and traffic along Morones Prieto or Constitución sets how far a kitchen can reach at rush hour.
Each business publishes its zone and delivery days the same way as the rest, so the comparison is direct.
Frequently asked questions
How much fridge life does it have?
Three to five days refrigerated and properly covered. Anything with fish or pre-dressed vegetables gives you less, so those dishes go early.
Does it freeze well?
A good deal of it does, and it is the practical way to make the week last. Stews, rice and meat in sauce come out the same; salad and raw vegetables do not. If you booked seven days, set aside what goes in the freezer on day one.
Does it beat cooking for yourself on price?
Per kilo, the supermarket is cheaper. Per week, it usually is not: you are not buying a kilo of onions to use two, vegetables do not turn on you midweek, and you stop ordering in when time ran out. The pans stay clean, too.
Can I try before booking the month?
Of course, and it is the sensible move. Some businesses sell two or three loose meals for precisely that. On Platera you can see who offers a trial without chasing it over chat.
Do they come just once a week?
That depends on the business. Some deliver everything on Monday, some split it into two or three visits so it arrives fresher, and a few come daily. They all publish their frequency, so the choice is yours.
Are there macro-based or gym options?
Yes, and they are common in Monterrey. Several businesses weigh portions and publish protein, carbohydrate and fat per meal. In one place you can compare who works to the macros you need without requesting menus one at a time.
Do they reach San Pedro and the surrounding municipalities?
It depends on the business, which is why the zone is published up front. A kitchen downtown might cover San Pedro and not Apodaca. Across several businesses the metro area is covered, and you filter by where you live.
