Fit Chef

Best for: Adelaide locals tracking macros for training goals

A good value Adelaide option for anyone tracking macros, with full nutrition panels on every dish and low carb Shred versions of most mains. The single weekly delivery window and metro-only footprint make it impractical outside Adelaide.

  • Calories plus protein, carbs and fat shown on every meal tile, so tracking macros is straightforward
  • Meals mostly $12.50, cheaper than many national prepared meal services, with 15% off at 25+ meals and up to 10% off for subscribing
  • Around 40 meals on the menu including low carb Shred versions, 10 vegan options, gluten free and dairy free filters
  • Free Monday pickup option from Melrose Park if you want to skip the $15 delivery fee
  • Adelaide metro only, no delivery anywhere else in Australia
  • One delivery window per week with a Thursday midnight cut-off, so little flexibility
  • $15 delivery fee plus a $60 minimum order adds up on smaller orders
  • Delivery day is stated as Saturday in one place and Sunday in another, which is confusing at checkout

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
