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

Lite n' Easy

Structured, portion-controlled weight loss with full-day meal plans

  • No subscription or lock-in contract: order week to week, or set up automatic weekly or fortnightly deliveries by phone
  • Over 300 meals across breakfast, lunch, dinner, soups, snacks and desserts, with calories and protein shown on every meal
  • Meals designed by Accredited Practising Dietitians, with full-day plans available for structured weight loss
  • Per-meal pricing is not shown upfront: you need to work through packs and pricing or the ordering system to see real costs
  • Minimum order value of $60.45 plus possible delivery fees
  • Order cut-offs and cancellation periods vary by area rather than a single clear deadline

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.
