Dietlicious
Best for: Structured calorie-controlled weight loss plans with every meal supplied
Suits people who want a structured, calorie counted program rather than a few dinners: every meal and snack for the day is supplied and packed by day. Best value if you are in the eastern capitals and happy with frozen meals and a larger upfront order.
- 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
- Registered NDIS and Home Care Package provider, with meals snap frozen for up to four months in the freezer
- 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
- Meals are snap frozen rather than fresh, and no vegetarian 1200 calorie plan is offered
THR1VE
Best for: Macro tracked low carb and high protein eating
Suits people tracking macros who want low carb or high protein meals with the numbers spelled out, and who can take a Saturday chilled delivery. Best value kicks in at 18 meals or more, so it is less appealing if you only want a few meals a week.
- 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
- Goal collections for high protein, keto, low carb and under 400 calories, plus free shipping and no lock-in on subscriptions
- 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
- The cheapest $9.95 per meal tier requires a 25 meal subscription
