Strengths and trade-offs

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

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

Workout Meals

High protein meals for training and muscle gain

Full macro and calorie breakdown, plus ingredients and allergens, shown on every meal

Free delivery on weekly or fortnightly subscriptions over $99, with skip or cancel at any time
No delivery to WA or NT
Flat delivery fee of about $15 on one-off orders, which lifts the effective cost of a small box
Priced at the higher end for prepared meals at roughly $12.50 a meal a la carte

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.
