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
Youfoodz
Best for: Busy households wanting fresh, no-prep meals with a big weekly menu
A strong pick if you want fresh heat and eat meals with plenty of weekly variety and dietary ranges from calorie controlled to high protein, and you live in a metro area or a decent sized regional centre. The catch is pricing transparency: you will need to run a postcode and plan size through checkout to see what you actually pay once the introductory offer ends.
- Large rotating menu with 40 to 80 items a week plus snacks, juices and desserts
- Meals are fresh, never frozen, ready in about two minutes and keep up to 9 days in the fridge
- Coverage across all states and territories, including a long list of regional centres
- No lock-in contract: skip, pause or cancel before the weekly cut-off, and a registered NDIS provider
- Per meal prices are not published upfront: you must enter a postcode and pick a plan size to see them
- Marketing leans heavily on a 12 week introductory discount, so the ongoing rate is hard to judge
- Tasmania and the Northern Territory get limited coverage and only one to three delivery days a week
- Shipping is charged and varies by location, with higher fees possible in regional areas
