As I received a variety of food items, it is worth noting that I have reviewed the meals based on how I paired them, except for the readymade meals which are complete meals. After sorting through the website to find the nutritional information, I was generally pleased with the overall nutritional content. The meals with fish contained the most protein, on average 27g. There was a good variety of vegetables and salad which I was able to pair with each meal and the nuts and seeds for toppings added a good source of fat as well as some textural crunch. Whilst I enjoyed the breakfast frittata, it was a small serving and only had 12g of protein. In my opinion, this is not substantial enough for a breakfast and is more suited as a snack. As their ethos states, Dietlicious meals include less carbohydrates to support weight loss. The one source of carbohydrate I received was roasted, skin on, kipfler potatoes, which is a good quality carbohydrate. 

The ‘individual meals’ option relies on making the right choices. My advice is to build meals based around the macronutrients, with a focus on protein. Ensure you select at least one vegetable as a side if it doesn’t already come with vegetables/salad and opt for brown rice as a source of carbohydrate. It appears the meat-based items are the best options as these are more nutritionally complete. If you are vegetarian or vegan, you may need to supplement the meals with extra tofu or beans to increase the total protein content. 

Each Dietlicious readymade meal had an excellent ingredient profile, including at least three different types of vegetables, with minimal preservatives and additives. Of the readymade meals, the spinach chana dahl had 13g protein, the Indian vegetable curry with chickpeas and vege lasagne contained 11g protein and the Thai spiced pumpkin soup had 7g protein. These options were lower in protein than I would have liked, as protein is crucial for supporting weight loss. The vege lasagne in particular was a very small portion and only 236 calories. This was paired with the wilted spinach and in my opinion, barely made a meal. Be Fit Food’s vegetarian meals are superior when compared as they contain higher amounts of protein.
