NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan 7, 2026--
To combat the drop-off in New Year’s resolutions by mid-January, Factor, America’s #1 ready-to-eat meal delivery service, is launching the Factor Protein Power-Up Shop, a multi-city, high-protein pop-up series kicking off in New York City on January 8, 2026.

Timed to National Quitter’s Day, the interactive in-person experience brings chef-crafted, dietitian-designed meals directly to commuters during the lunch hour, helping bridge the growing “Protein Gap” for the 74% of Americans who say they would be more likely to eat protein if there were more convenient options available to include in their meals.
The initiative empowers consumers in New York City, Austin, and Chicago to reset healthy eating habits through high-protein meal swaps, expert dietitian consultations, and interactive wellness tools. While over half of Americans (54%) have a goal to eat healthier in 2026, and half of those who do (54%) say they plan to achieve this by increasing their protein intake, only 38% of Americans say they actively track their protein intake—highlighting a gap in the structure needed to sustain real change. With a high-protein menu of chef-crafted, dietitian-designed meals, Factor makes it easy to support energy, focus, and long-term success.
“At Factor, we believe high-quality nutrition should be the foundation of every goal, not a hurdle to overcome,” said Adam Park, CEO of Factor. “The Protein Power-Up Shop is designed to help people stick to their resolutions by cutting through the noise of viral social media hacks and questionable sources. It replaces the ‘shame spiral’ with science-backed, chef-crafted meals that make fresh, high-protein nutrition the easiest choice of the day.”

Survey Methodology
This survey was conducted online within the United States by The Harris Poll on behalf of Factor from November 20-24, 2025, among 2,094 U.S. adults ages 18 and older. The sampling precision of Harris online polls is measured by using a Bayesian credible interval. For this study, the sample data is accurate to within +/- 2.5 percentage points using a 95% confidence level.
