Chefgood
Best for: Calorie-controlled weight loss with chef-style meals under 400 calories
A solid pick for calorie-controlled eating, with clear nutrition panels and structured Slim & Trim or Personal Best plans rather than just a build-your-own box. Best value if you order 10 or more meals a week and can clear the $125 free shipping threshold.
- 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
- Love It Or Swap It guarantee replaces a meal you do not enjoy in your next order
- 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
- Premium options such as the braised beef steak push close to $14 per meal
Exclusive Appetite
Best for: Victorian households wanting flexible, no-subscription frozen meals
A good fit for Victorians who want frozen, heat-and-eat meals without committing to a weekly subscription, particularly households juggling individual and family-sized portions. Buyers tracking macros will find the lack of published nutrition information frustrating.
- No subscription, lock-in contract or ongoing payments: you order as you need
- Large menu of 70+ chef-prepared dishes including a substantial vegetarian and vegan range
- Three portion sizes, including family meals that feed 4 adults or 2 adults and 4 kids
- Snap-frozen meals keep for up to 12 months, and weekday deliveries are left at the door without you needing to be home
- Victoria only, with rural customers limited to weekly delivery runs
- Nutrition panels come on the packaging rather than being published on the menu, so you cannot compare kilojoules or protein before ordering
- No breakfast options and no ability to customise or swap ingredients in a meal
- Bundle pack pricing is not shown upfront, making value hard to judge before adding to cart
