Healthy meal-plan services can be huge time-savers, especially in a city like Hong Kong where people seem to be on the go 24/7. The freshly prepared meals are delivered on a predictable schedule, and all you have to do is reheat them in the microwave, oven, or on the hob. There’s also no washing up involved!
These meal-plan services cater to varied dietary requirements, from low-carb meals for those who have weight loss in mind, to high-protein meals for packing on the muscle, to gluten-free, ketogenic, and paleo options. Sticking to plant-based eating? Vegans and vegetarians are also well looked after with these meal plans.
For fuss-free healthy eating at its finest, we present you with Foodie’s list of our recommended healthy meal plans in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong’s top meal plans
1. FITTERY
Founded by a team of chefs and nutritionists, FITTERY is our best pick for its calorie-controlled meal plans, featuring an MSG-free fusion menu courtesy of chef Hong, who boasts more than 20 years of experience at five-star hotels including the Four Seasons and Shangri-La. There are two meal-plan concepts on offer: the signature Light and Easy, Low Starch, Healthy Zen, or Bulk Up plan with a set menu of two to three meals per day delivered daily and a DIY plan with an à-la-carte menu and five meals per delivery based on your chosen dates. FITTERY’s packaging is completely biodegradable, and their thermal-sealing technology keeps the meals fresh for longer. You’re in very good hands with FITTERY, which also provides meals to the HKU Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine and Hong Kong Rugby Union national team!
Prices start from HKD75 per meal for eight deliveries of five meals as part of the DIY plan. Free morning delivery to Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and New Territories.
2. NOSH
One of Hong Kong’s most well-established meal-plan services, NOSH’s meal plans are diverse and wide-ranging – tailored to your lifestyle and nutritional needs. Choose from signature meal plans like Balanced Diet, Lose Weight, and Build Muscle or NOSH Basics, a fixed menu of Asian-inspired, calorie-controlled meals. NOSH Life is yet another option that includes dietitian consultations at the start of the plan and every 10 days thereafter. NOSH’s food containers are made of biodegradable straw and sugar cane, and their insulated packaging can be reused or recycled – a big plus. In addition, NOSH is a go-to for healthy catering for events and junks, showcasing lunch and bento boxes and sharing platters.
Prices start at HKD255 for three meals a day with the NOSH Basics plan. Free morning delivery to Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and New Territories (except Shek O and restricted areas like Ma Wan).
3. Eatology
With Eatology, nutritionist consultations are an appealing aspect of this meal-plan service, available free to those who book a two-week or longer meal plan, offering bespoke advice on lifestyle adjustments and more. The ingredients, selected by the company’s registered dietitians and nutritionists, are impeccably sourced, using hormone- and antibiotic-free meat and organic produce as much as possible. Eatology’s unique meal-plan options include the Mediterranean, a Med diet catering to diabetics, and the F45 Challenge, a 45-day programme combining nutrition and gym training for the ultimate total body transformation.
Prices start from HKD1,515 for a one-week (five days) Gluten-Free Low Carb meal plan with breakfast and lunch. Free morning or evening delivery to Hong Kong Island and Kowloon; delivery charges to New Territories and Outlying Islands vary according to distance and mileage.
4. Nutrition Kitchen
Nutrition Kitchen was launched in Hong Kong in 2015 and has since expanded to Singapore, and the company also owns and operates ONE PT gyms here and in the Lion City. The diversity of global flavours is what most impresses us about the brand; they offer more than 270 unique meals in their repertoire, promising no repetitions across a six-week period. Within each of the five meal plans – Low Carb, Balanced, Veggie, Flexitarian, and Asian – there are further calorie-regulated Small and Regular options. As soon as an order is placed, you’ll get a handy-dandy guide (with images) of each of the meals you can look forward to eating in the week ahead, annotated with calorie, fat, protein, and carb counts. We also like the minimal packaging, made using biodegradable materials.
Prices start from HKD910 for a one-week (five days) Small Low Carb meal plan, including your choice of two meals. Free morning delivery throughout Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and New Territories (except Discovery Bay, which incurs a charge of HKD40 per daily delivery). No delivery to Outlying Islands.
5. Mealthy
Focused on high-protein, low-carb eating, Mealthy’s healthy, sustainable meal plans are a bit different from the rest as they involve delivery of all your meals just once a week (the sealed meals will last up to six days in the fridge). You simply select how many balanced or low-carb meals you’d like delivered each week, anywhere from just four up to 24. This makes Mealthy the most flexible of the meal-plan brands in that you can mix and match the meals according to your lifestyle and plans for the week ahead, and it’s also the most affordable – a great way to dip your toes into the world of meal plans. The menus are interesting and varied, with dishes ranging from East to West.
Prices start from HKD460 for a four-meal weekly meal plan. Charged morning delivery to Hong Kong Island and Kowloon and charged morning and afternoon delivery to New Territories.
