Lite n' Easy
Best for: Structured, portion-controlled weight loss with full-day meal plans
A long-running, dietitian-designed option that suits people who want portion-controlled full-day eating for weight loss, or older Australians using Support at Home or NDIS funding. Flexibility is good with no contracts, but you have to dig into the ordering process to work out what you will actually pay per meal.
- No subscription or lock-in contract: order week to week, or set up automatic weekly or fortnightly deliveries by phone
- Over 300 meals across breakfast, lunch, dinner, soups, snacks and desserts, with calories and protein shown on every meal
- Meals designed by Accredited Practising Dietitians, with full-day plans available for structured weight loss
- Registered NDIS provider and Support at Home partner, with a My Choice range suited to smaller appetites
- 100% money-back guarantee on your first delivery if you email within 5 days
- Per-meal pricing is not shown upfront: you need to work through packs and pricing or the ordering system to see real costs
- Minimum order value of $60.45 plus possible delivery fees
- Order cut-offs and cancellation periods vary by area rather than a single clear deadline
- Full-day plans work best if you commit to breakfast and lunch as well, which suits some households more than others
Muscle Meals Direct
Best for: High-protein meals and protein-only portions for gym-goers
Suits lifters and gym-goers on the east coast who want big protein serves and the flexibility to order single meals or standalone protein portions rather than a fixed weekly box. The single Wednesday delivery slot and lack of bulk pricing make it less appealing for large weekly orders.
- 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
- Cooked fresh each week and delivered chilled in thermal cartons with gel ice packs
- 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
- Coverage appears limited to eastern states, with several items showing as sold out
