…so your point is that ordering take-out every day of the month is too expensive and that you have to cook for yourself to make ends meet? I warmheartedly welcome you to the club.

"can't I figure out what the macros are by asking the chef for an ingredient list?"
It's possible but the burden of doing so means most people would abandon it after a few days.

If you're eating the same meal every day and/or every meal, it's actually pretty easy..

An ingredient list? I'm pretty sure they all look the same: vegetables, (sugar), oil, spices in that order. But the actual amount of sugar and oil will make a big difference to the macros and isn't detailed in a normal ingredient list.
Finally, I've seen your response to this point elsewhere which seems to be, but those restaurants won't provide the macro nutrient breakdown or have different options for proteins. Just in the dishes provided around my house there's chicken, lamb, tofu, cheese, beans. The only thing missing really is seitan. And if I'm ordering from the same place consistently, can't I figure out what the macros are by asking the chef for an ingredient list? One and done.
I wish you all the best, and I actually love this idea but I can't make this work in my head. To me this just seems like a new, order only, expensive Indian place opened up near me. If you could reduce prices to at least meet brick and mortar restraunts then I'd consider using your service occasionally if it tastes good.
