Strengths and trade-offs

Chefgood

Calorie-controlled weight loss with chef-style meals under 400 calories

Full macros and kilojoule counts shown on every meal tile, with most mains under 400 calories
Bulk pricing steps down as you order more, from around $11.20 per meal at 5 meals to $10.36 at 14
No lock-in subscription: pause or cancel before the Wednesday cut-off
Menu is around 40 to 60 items, smaller than some larger competitors
Free shipping only kicks in on recurring orders of $125 or more
Not available in WA or NT, so coverage is east coast plus SA and TAS

Dietlicious

Structured calorie-controlled weight loss plans with every meal supplied

Full day meal plans at set calorie levels (800, 800 keto, 1200, 1500) with breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks packed by day
No contracts or subscription: order only when you want, with a $75 minimum
Up to three meal swaps per plan, plus a Build Your Own Plan tool for full control over macros
Delivery limited to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra and connected regional areas, not all of Australia
Plans are delivered as a single upfront box, so a 7 day plan is a $269 or more outlay at checkout
Delivery is charged on top of the food price and varies by postcode

Muscle Meals Direct

High-protein meals and protein-only portions for gym-goers

Meals are built around large protein portions, for example 200g chicken breast with brown rice at 67g protein
Buy meals individually with no minimum box size, or set up a weekly subscription for 5% off
Protein-only components such as 200g grilled chicken breast or beef burgers can be added to build your own plan
At about $15.95 per meal it sits at the pricier end, with no bulk discount tiers
Only one delivery day a week, with orders closing Sunday for Wednesday delivery
Nutrition panels are blank on some products, so calories and macros are not consistent across the menu

How to read this comparison

Prices: The ongoing price at a typical order size: per meal for ready-made meals, per serving for meal kits. First-order offers and delivery fees are not included. Prices checked 24 August 2026. Confirm at checkout.
Highlights: Green cells mark the lowest published price, the highest customer rating, the largest menu, the highest minimum protein, our highest score, and a Yes where the services differ. A row is only highlighted when every service compared has a value for it. Prices in different units and ratings from different review platforms are not highlighted.
Customer rating: Out of 5, with the review count and the platform the rating is from. It is a customer rating, not our score.
Our score: Out of 100: customer rating (35 points, weighted by review volume), disclosure of macros, calories and a real price (20), price against services of the same type (15), menu size (10), ordering flexibility (10) and delivery reach (10). Where a provider publishes nothing for a criterion, it is dropped and the rest are rescaled.
