Best Meal Provider for Bodybuilders

As mentioned, check out any Aussie bodybuilding forum and you’ll see that Food 4 Fitness is the go-to prepared meals provider in the bodybuilding community. Delivering across most of Australia (barring NT and WA), what’s great about Food 4 Fitness for bodybuilders is how easily you can customise your meals.

Most ready-made meal providers allow customisation – but not to the same extent as Food 4 Fitness, especially when it comes to serving size and in particular, protein amount.

They also offer a custom meal builder where you can choose your protein, carb, vegetables and even sauce, along with how many grams of each! Or, you can choose pre-made meals that are either 250g for ‘weight loss’, 350g for ‘maintenance’ and 450g meals for ‘weight gain’.

ALSO, checkout their bulk packs, which allow you to mix and match a variety of proteins, carbohydrates and vegetables, to create your meals your own way. It’s a pretty excellent service, and possibly the most customisable ready-made meal provider on the market.

Example meals: Jamaican jerk spiced chicken drummettes, singapore chicken noodles and mild mango chicken curry

As its name suggests, Workout Meals is designed for fitness enthusiasts in mind, with several different fitness-related meal plans – including muscle gain. When you select the muscle gain meal plan, you then fill out certain details like gender, activity level, and how many meals you want per week. For a female who is very active, you’re looking at a diet of around 2000 calories per day, including 150g protein, 160g carbs and 70g fat on average.

Workout Meals also offers Transformation Programs like Male Muscle Gain and Female Tone & Sculpt. For example, the Male Muscle Gain diet for men is a customised training nutrition program designed for males of all fitness levels who are looking to achieve lean gains, muscle growth and high calorie meals for bulking.

Meals from Workout Meals are tasty, and delivery is fast (and free if you subscribe)

Example meals: healthy chicken pad thai, Feta & Almond Chicken with Sweet Potato Fries and Turkey Mince Poke Bowl

Macros is another crowd fave in the bodybuilding community with plenty of high-protein meals to choose from. They offer everyday plans, family plans, weight loss plans and even plant-based plans.

For the bodybuilders – they have sculpt, perform and gain plans, depending on your goals. On the gain plan, meals are high-protein and carbo-loaded to help you achieve your bodybuilding goals.

What’s cool about Macros is you have options to choose from dairy free, paleo, no added wheat, and even plant-based while on the gain plan.

You do have to subscribe to a plan with Macros, but you can pause or cancel at any time. Interestingly, Macros don’t explicitly state their delivery areas, they do cover most metropolitan areas including Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane.

Example meals: Roo bowl with fresh herbed mash, naked beef fajitas and mexican rice, and jalapeno turkey with broccoli rice.

My Muscle Chef has several ready-made meal options for bodybuilders, including muscle gain and performance. When choosing muscle gain as a meal plan, for example, it asks your gender and how often you work out per week to customise your meal plan. You can then choose between 20, 24 or 28 meals per week.

Say you’re a female who works out 4+ times a week – MMC’s muscle gain meal plan would see you at around 2,500-2,700 cals per day with 200g+ of protein, roughly 220g of carbs and around 80g of fat.

The plan comes with set meals, but you can swap out the meals to suit your taste preferences, including protein type, the amount of carbs you want and if you have any dietary requirements (like gluten-free).

MMC is great as well because you can find meals stocked in stores like IGAs, Romeos, even some petrol stations and more. While you do need to subscribe to MMC, you can cancel at any time.

Example meals: Creamy tomato chicken fettuccine, chia crusted salmon with soy glaze, crumbed chicken with roast potatoes.

Foober has several meal plan options, including a specific muscle builder plan. While its muscle builder plan doesn’t seem to be as high-protein or high-calorie as other provider muscle building plans (with Foober hovering around 105g of protein per day), the meals are certainly protein and carb dominant.

You don’t have to choose a muscle building meal plan either, you can simply choose a la carte to meet your unique diet needs.

Foober also offers keto meal plans, paleo meal plans, and specific meal plans based on a calorie calculator to help ensure you’re meeting your target calories for bodybuilding.

Example meals: Miso Glazed Salmon with Pesto Zucchini Noodles, Creamy Chicken Mushroom Penne and Saucy Grilled Chicken Quesadilla

The Shred and Sculpt Meal Plan is designed to help you get lean and defined while meeting your daily macro and micro nutrient requirements. It has been created based on the latest scientific, evidence-based approach to health, fitness, and nutrition, and is intended for those who want to increase lean muscle and achieve a more defined athletic physique while maintaining a healthy body fat percentage.

This meal plan will support muscle growth, definition, and repair, and enhance nutrient absorption through wholefood carbohydrates, natural sources of protein, healthy essential fatty acids, and an abundance of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.

By tracking calories, individuals can work towards their goals while following a more flexible and balanced approach to nutrition. To meet nutritional needs, simply select 5 or 7 days, select meals and sides, and view the total calories for the day.
