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

THR1VE

Macro tracked low carb and high protein eating

Clear published price ladder: $12.95 per meal at 10, down to $9.95 at 25
Full macros and a per serve nutrition panel, ingredients and allergens on every meal
Chilled not frozen, ready in about 2 minutes, with a target of at least 7 days fridge life
Not national: no delivery to TAS or NT, and site pages conflict on whether SA is served
$89 minimum food order per delivery, so small top-up boxes are not possible
Single delivery window starting Saturday after a Friday pack, which suits weekend restocking only

Your Private Chef

Melbourne households wanting chef-cooked weekly meals alongside event catering

Fresh and frozen weekly home meals come from a working Melbourne catering kitchen, with the same chefs behind corporate events
Dietary labelling across the menu for gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, vegan, halal and kosher friendly options, plus a special dietary individual box for complex allergies
Repeat orders can be set up at checkout, and pickup from the Caulfield kitchen is available
No published per-meal pricing, so you have to work through the ordering cart or request a quote
No calorie or macro information published, which rules it out for calorie counting or macro tracking
Weekly meals are delivered on Tuesdays only, with orders closing the Friday before

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.
