Macro-tracked meal prep in Des Moines
Project LeanNation makes chef-prepared meals portioned to your plan, collected at our West Des Moines store or delivered locally. Two portion sizes, 36 meals on the menu at any time, and an InBody scan and a coach included in every PLN+ membership.
20 to 30 minutes, no commitment
How do Project LeanNation's macro-tracked meals actually work?
Two portion sizes, the same food, and the numbers stated plainly.
Lifestyle meals are around 450 calories
Portion-controlled and high protein, generally in the 400 to 500 calorie range. This is what most members eat. There are 24 Lifestyle options on the menu at any time.
Athlete meals are around 675 calories
Same food, 1.5 times the portion, generally 600 to 800 calories. Built for people training hard enough that a standard portion leaves them under-fuelled. There are 12 Athlete options at any time.
The menu changes every 10 weeks
New meals are introduced on a 10 week cycle, so the thing that usually kills prepared meals, eating the same four dishes until you cannot look at them, does not happen.
Where to find Project LeanNation in the Des Moines metro
Our store is at 5465 Mills Civic Parkway in West Glen, West Des Moines, and it has been open a year this month. It is where the consultations, the InBody scans and the coaching happen, and it is where most members collect their week.

Does Project LeanNation deliver in Des Moines?
Yes, and most members pick up instead.
Local delivery from the West Des Moines store
We deliver locally in the area around the store. Your exact address is checked automatically at checkout, so you find out whether delivery reaches you before you order anything.
Pickup is what most people choose
Most members collect their week's meals in store. It takes a few minutes, and it is when most people end up talking to their coach.
You choose how many meals
Plans come in 12, 18, 24 and 30 meals a week, so you can cover lunches only or most of your week. Most members land somewhere in between rather than replacing everything.

PLN Nutrition makes my life so much easier! I get meals from them every week, and it’s been a total game-changer. I’m constantly on the go all day with work, and meal prep used to be the hardest part of staying on track. Having healthy, ready-to-go meals that actually taste good has been a huge life saver. Everything is fresh, balanced, and keeps me fueled throughout the day. Highly recommend PLN to anyone with a busy schedule who still wants to eat clean and stay consistent, not to mention my 9 year old loves the meals too!
Doing the inbody consultation has made it easier to track my progress with my goals and the meals are actually really tasty.
Wonderful service! Coaches are great. Very informative. The meals are restaurant worthy! Love the protein bites & ready-to-go shakes. The weekly check ins are appreciated - even if I didn’t need anything. Still makes me feel like a valued member & the Project Lean Des Moines staff cares about my progress.
