I have a friend called Jimmy who is trialling the ‘convenience menu’ from Lite and Easy. It’s basically one week of pre cooked and packaged meals that take a minimum of effort to prepare and are reportedly quite healthy as well. The meals are delivered once per week in a container packed with dry ice and take up a decent portion of your fridge and freezer.
The cost for one week of meals is $141 which is expensive compared to cooking yourself but potentially excellent value when you factor in the ‘time cost’ of preparing meals for yourself and all the effort that cooking and cleaning entails.
The heaviest plan weighs in at only 1800 calories a day which is short of the 2000-2500 suggested calories for a sedentary adult male according to my internet research.
The menu certainly looks quite decent and I'm looking at trialling it myself.
Anyone got any taste or nutritional feedback on this idea?
