Calorie-controlled meals where the numbers are on the label, not in the marketing.
A calorie target only works if you can see the calories. Preptide delivers fresh, portion-true meals — most core meals sit between roughly 250 and 450 calories — with calories, protein, carbs and fat printed on every item before you order. Delivered weekly across Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

A deficit you can actually run lives or dies on logistics.
Most weight-loss eating plans don't fail on knowledge — they fail on a Tuesday night when there's nothing prepped and the easiest option is 900 calories in a bag. Ready-made, calorie-controlled meals remove that decision. The fridge already holds a portion-true option, the numbers are on it, and the plan survives the week.
We keep protein high on purpose. In a calorie deficit, protein helps meals feel satisfying and gives training something to work with — many core meals carry 30 to 50 grams per serve. What the right daily calorie or protein target is for you depends on your body, history and goals: that's a conversation for your GP or an accredited practising dietitian, and our job is to make their plan easy to follow.
One menu, three jobs.
The common thread is a calorie budget that has to survive real life — work, family, low-energy evenings.
Counting calories, tired of cooking.
Lunches and dinners arrive portioned and labelled, so the daily total is arithmetic instead of estimation. Add your own breakfasts and snacks around them.
Appetite is small; every bite counts.
Smaller serves with protein first suit medication-reduced appetites. The menu is organised by phase — see the GLP-1 meal delivery page for how that works.
Keeping the result.
After a loss — with or without medication — portion habits decide what happens next. Portion-true meals keep "normal" calibrated. If you're finishing a GLP-1, read coming off a GLP-1.
One thing we won't do is promise outcomes. Food is one input; your clinician owns the plan. What we can promise is that every item shows its numbers, serves stay portion-true, and the subscription bends with your week — skip, pause, swap or cancel from your dashboard before cutoff. Compare options honestly on our buyer's checklist, or see the high protein meal delivery page if protein is your primary target.
A fresh weekly model, never frozen.
Choose your meals, and after the weekly cutoff they're cooked fresh in our Australian kitchen, chilled and delivered cold to Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane metro — never frozen at any point. Refrigerate on arrival and heat each meal in about three minutes.
No lock-in contract: skip, pause, swap meals or cancel anytime from your dashboard before cutoff. The delivery fee (if any) and any free-delivery threshold are shown at checkout before you pay. The 60-second quiz matches a starting menu to your appetite and routine.
Questions, answered.
Will these meals make me lose weight?
No meal service can promise that, and we won't. Weight change depends on your total intake, activity, medical context and consistency. What Preptide does is make the food side practical: portion-true meals with calories, protein, carbs and fat shown before you order, so the plan you agreed with your clinician or dietitian is easier to actually follow.
How many calories are in each meal?
Most core meals sit roughly between 250 and 450 calories, with the exact figure shown on every item alongside protein, carbs and fat. You can total a full week while you build the order.
Is this only for people on weight loss medication?
No. Preptide is food and anyone can order. The menu was designed around smaller, protein-forward serves — that suits GLP-1 users, but equally people running an ordinary calorie deficit, people with small appetites, and anyone tired of oversized trays.
Are the meals fresh or frozen?
Fresh, never frozen. Meals are cooked in our Australian kitchen, chilled and delivered cold each week. Refrigerate on arrival and heat in about three minutes.

Preptide is food, not medication or a weight-loss treatment. It does not diagnose, treat, prevent, mitigate or cure any condition and does not replace medical advice.
