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
Providoor
Best for: Chef-made restaurant-style frozen dinners without a subscription
Suits people who want restaurant-style dinners at home rather than a weekly meal plan, and who are happy to pay a premium for chef-branded frozen dishes. The $80 minimum, delivery fees and East Coast-only footprint make it a poor fit for cheap everyday lunches.
- Dishes created by name chefs including Marco Pierre White, George Calombaris, Manu Feildel, Silvia Colloca and Christine Manfield
- No subscription or weekly plan: order a la carte whenever you want
- Full nutrition panel, ingredients and allergens published on each product page
- Flash frozen with no preservatives, so meals keep for months in the freezer
- Expensive next to standard ready-meal services, with mains up to $32 a dish
- $80 minimum order plus a $15 metro delivery fee unless you spend $179 to $199
- Delivery limited to NSW, VIC and QLD East Coast areas
- Most dishes serve 2 or 4, so it suits couples and families more than single portioned eating
