Meal plan delivery services for every budget

Looking to try meal delivery services?

While they are not exactly cheap, these packaged meal services are much-loved for the convenience they bring—from the budget to the calorie count to the delivery. Meal plan delivery services offer a great option for those who don’t have much time to go to the grocery, prep, and cook dishes but want to follow a strict diet. All you have to do is reheat these in the oven when it’s time to eat. 

If you’ve been on the hunt for some options, here’s a roundup that might help.

Starting at P240/day: Smart Meals

Want to start with the most affordable option on the market? Smart Meals offers a budget-friendly package. Their low-calorie meal plan, which is “based on the recommended calorie intake of adult individuals with a 500-1,000 calorie reduction for weight loss,” is available at 1,200 cal (P240/day), 1,500 cal (P300/day), 1,800 cal (P360/day), and 2,000 cal (P400/day). 

They also have a low-carb, high-protein program that “focuses on limiting simple carbohydrates in the diet while still providing enough protein sources.” Meals start at P399/day (1,200 cal). 

Starting at P340/day: Isabel’s

Isabel’s offers meal plans starting at only P1,700 for five days for their salad meals (with vegan option) and P2,000 for five days for their power bowls (with keto option).

Another come-on is that you can also tailor your own meal plan according to your liking with no delivery charge (starting at P290/day). Note that this is only for those who will be busy for lunch or dinner as only one customized salad/power bowl for each day will be delivered. 

Starting at P470/day: The Sexy Chef

At The Sexy Chef, there are combination meal plans that go beyond the calorie-controlled and Mediterranean options. There’s the Low-Carb and Low-Cal with Cauli Rice (P470/day), South Beach or High-Protein and Low-Carb (P705/day), and Ketogenic or Low-Carb and High-Fat (P650/day). A plant-based meal plan—high-fiber, low-calorie, and low-fat—is also available starting at P470 per day. 

A 10% price slash awaits for those who complete a 30-day meal plan purchase or second 14-day order, but still not inclusive of delivery charge. 

Starting at P630/day: Nuthera

Nuthera’s prices are quite higher than the others, but what makes the brand stand out is its variety of “all-in, calorie-counted meal plan programs scientifically designed and calculated for specific goals.” 

Included in their programs are Heart Healthy (P630/day), Diabetic-friendly (P670/day), Low-Carb (P710/day), High Protein+ (P730/day), Clean Keto (P790/day), Paleo (P790/day), PCOS-friendly (P891/day), and Food Intolerance (P990). Likewise, you can customize your own meal plan with a focus on food allergies, intolerances, special dietary restrictions, among others.
