When choosing the right option for you, consider the following factors:

Location

Ensure meal delivery services are available in your state and specific suburbs, most provider pages have a postcode tracker to determine if delivery is available.

Cost per meal VS a higher quantity order

Typically meal delivery services are cheaper with larger orders as an incentive to order more meals. If you are planning to order a few prepared meals, look to see if the meal provider offers meal package deals.

Nutrition

Ensure meals that you are ordering offer adequate nutrition and are going to satisfy you. Check the nutritional labels and ingredient contents to determine if they meet your nutritional requirements. It can also help to see if meals are constructed by a dietitian or nutritionist.

Health Goals

Ensure the meals you are ordering align with your personal health goals. If you have a specific health goal such as increasing muscle, optimising performance, losing weight or managing a diet requirement ensure you investigate the provider and its catering allowances before committing to an order.
