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
FoodSt
Best for: Home style, multicultural frozen meals with no subscription
Suits people who want genuinely home style, multicultural cooking and are happy to pay more for it, ordering dish by dish rather than committing to a weekly plan. Less suitable if you need calorie counted meals or live outside the eastern states and SA.
- Order a la carte with no subscription: buy single meals, sides, soups or desserts as you need them
- Over 100 dishes from 40 plus home cooks across 26 plus cuisines, including Italian, Indian, Malaysian, Mexican and Chinese
- Portion sizes scale from single serves up to family trays, for example lasagne from 500g to 2.3kg
- Full ingredient and allergen lists per dish, plus dedicated gluten sensitive, dairy sensitive, halal, vegetarian and vegan collections
- No calorie or macro information published for most meals, so it is hard to track nutrition
- Delivery limited to NSW, ACT, VIC, SA and QLD, with rates varying by postcode unless you pay for membership
- Per meal prices sit above typical prepared meal services, with many single serves in the low $20s
- Meals arrive frozen and several need oven baking rather than a quick microwave, for example lasagne takes 45 minutes and up
