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.
Best meal plans in Hong Kong
FITTERY
Founded by a team of chefs and nutritionists, FITTERY is our best pick for its six calorie-controlled meal plans lasting for 1–4 weeks, with the unique option of two phenomenal menus; there’s a 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, and a Chinese menu crafted by Chef Shing, formerly of Michelin-starred Liu Yuan Pavilion. The plans include low-carb Light N Easy and Starch Zer0 for weight loss, Healthy Zen for staying fit with a balanced macro diet, Semi-Keto, Bulk Up, and the plant-based Green N Lean. The average calories per meal is 400 to 450kcal for all the plans except Bulk Up, which is all about building muscle. Even better, FITTERY’s packaging is completely biodegradable, and their thermal-sealing technology keeps the meals fresh for longer. If you want to customise your plan, the company offers a DIY option to create meals made with your favourite ingredients, selecting from more than 100 different ingredient combinations. 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 National Team!
Prices start from HKD990 for a one-week (five days) Light N Easy meal plan, including your choice of two meals. Free morning delivery to HK Island, Kowloon, and New Territories.

NOSH
One of Hong Kong’s most well-established meal-plan services, NOSH’s meal plans, ranging from 3–20 days, are diverse and wide-ranging – tailored to your lifestyle and nutritional needs. Choose from NOSH’s Signature, Veggie, Keto, and Flexitarian meal plans or NOSH Life plans, which include dietitian consultations, and Comfort Food, if you want to treat yourself. Once you’ve decided on your plan, it’s time to choose a goal, be that losing weight, increasing muscle, or living a balanced lifestyle. The veggie options are particularly recommended for those who want to reap the benefits of a plant-based way of life. 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.
Price starts at just HKD222 for three meals a day. Free morning delivery to HK Island, Kowloon, and New Territories (except Shek O and restricted areas like Ma Wan).

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, including your choice of two meals. Free morning or evening delivery to HK Island and Kowloon; delivery charges to New Territories and Outlying Island vary according to distance and mileage.
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 Regular and Small 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 HKD940 for a one-week (five days) Small Low Carb meal plan, including your choice of two meals. Free morning delivery throughout Hong Kong (except Discovery Bay).
Bain Marie
Bain Marie began its life in Hong Kong offering weekday lunchtime delivery of fresh, homemade, sustainable meals. Now, the zero-waste catering company extends to breakfast, lunch, desserts, and more in Vegware packaging, and they’ve also added healthy meal plans to the mix, featuring recipes developed by a French nutritionist. Their four calorie-controlled meal plans – Light Diet, Balanced, High Energy, and Vegetarian – each offers two levels depending on how many calories you wish to consume; if you go for the high-calorie option, an extra snack will be included each day. Notably, all the fruit and veg used by Bain Marie are organic, and the meat and seafood are GMO, hormone, and preservative free.
Prices start from HKD780 for a three-day low-calorie Light Diet meal plan, including your choice of two meals. Free morning delivery to HK Island, Kowloon, Tseung Kwan O, and Lohas Park.
Mealthy
Focused on 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 for 3–7 days in the fridge). They pare it further down with two plan options – Chef’s Choice and Low-Carb/Keto – and then you simply select how many meals you’d like delivered each week: four, six, eight, 10, 12, or 18. 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. Their menus are interesting and varied, with dishes ranging from full English breakfast, to Korean beef bulgogi, to Provençal herbed fish.
Prices start from HKD575 for a four-meal Low-Carb/Keto weekly meal plan. Charged morning delivery to HK Island and Kowloon, charged morning and afternoon delivery to New Territories, and self-pick-up lockers for Outlying Islands.
