Muscle Meals Direct

High-protein meals and protein-only portions for gym-goers

Meals are built around large protein portions, for example 200g chicken breast with brown rice at 67g protein
Buy meals individually with no minimum box size, or set up a weekly subscription for 5% off
Protein-only components such as 200g grilled chicken breast or beef burgers can be added to build your own plan
At about $15.95 per meal it sits at the pricier end, with no bulk discount tiers
Only one delivery day a week, with orders closing Sunday for Wednesday delivery
Nutrition panels are blank on some products, so calories and macros are not consistent across the menu

Muscle Meals Direct review Visit site

My Muscle Chef

High protein, macro tracked meals for training and body composition goals

Large menu of 155 listed items including 70 plus meals, snacks, drinks and bundles
Calories, protein, carbs and fat are shown on every meal tile, plus filters for calories, carbs and protein type
No subscription required: meals can be bought individually and cart contents changed each order
Standard meal prices of $10.95 to $12.95 sit at the higher end for ready meals
Premium PRO range costs more again at $12.95 per meal
Delivery is suburb by suburb rather than truly nationwide, so remote addresses need a postcode check

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.
