My Muscle Chef
Best for: High protein, macro tracked meals for training and body composition goals
A strong fit for people tracking macros who want high protein ready meals without committing to a weekly subscription, though the per meal price is above budget rivals unless you order during a sale.
- 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
- Frequent discounting, with select meals dropped to $7.95 and first and second order offers
- 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
- Allergen disclaimer notes traces of milk, eggs, gluten, nuts and seafood are possible, so not suitable for severe allergies
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
