Strengths and trade-offs

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

MACROS

Macro tracking with fresh, portion-controlled meals

Full macro breakdown and per 100g nutrition panel shown on every meal, plus calorie and protein tiles on menu tiles
Two portion sizes: 300g calorie-controlled meals from $11.70 and 350g meals from $12.20
Meals arrive fresh, never frozen, with no added preservatives or colouring
Delivery is largely metro only across about 1,900 postcodes, so regional addresses often miss out
$15 flat delivery fee unless you spend over $150, which pushes small orders up
Menu is around 50 dishes, smaller than some larger competitors

Muscle Diets

Menu of 50+ meals refreshed seasonally, including plant-based, high protein and low carb options

Protein and full macro figures are not shown on the public pages, only calorie ranges

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.
