Food for Life

Chef Chad O'Connor figured eight years ago he'd do well selling his specially formulated, low-calorie, high-energy lunches and dinners to gym dwellers, the CrossFit crowd and periodic dieters.

He figured correctly. What didn't he count on? High demand from people who just want to eat healthy and have meals delivered. “Absolutely not,” O'Connor says of expectations of catching on with the mainstream of health-conscious people when he started what was then Real Fit Foods in 2010. “I didn't anticipate that.”

But he knew he was on to much more by the time he moved to a Naples warehouse a couple years later, under the name Fresh Fit Foods.
