Fresh Meal Prep Delivered to Darlington

Meal prep in Darlington from Macro Based Diet is cooked fresh in our Middlesbrough kitchen, about half an hour along the A66, and delivered chilled to your door every Wednesday. We cover the whole town, from the centre and Cockerton out to Hurworth, Middleton St George, Mowden and Faverdale.

Every meal is calorie-controlled and macro-counted, cooked by a family-run team, and built by a nutrition coach. You choose the portion size, the number of meals and the dishes, and a week of eating well turns up in one box.

How delivery works in Darlington

Darlington is a DL postcode, which puts it just outside the area our own van covers, so your meal prep comes with our chilled courier instead. Courier deliveries go out every Wednesday with DPD. Order by Sunday 6pm and your meal prep arrives on the Wednesday, wrapped and packed in a keep-cool liner with ice packs so they are fridge-cold when they land.

Delivery is £7.99. If you would rather collect, our kitchen at 33 Metcalfe Road, Middlesbrough TS6 6PT is about half an hour from Darlington along the A66, open for collection on Sunday from 2pm to 6pm and on Monday and Thursday from 10am to 6pm. Collecting saves the delivery cost and gets you the meals on the day you choose.

Meals should be eaten within 72 hours of arriving or frozen on the day of delivery.

What you can order

The meal builder is where most Darlington customers start. Choose weight loss, maintenance or weight gain portions, pick between 5 and 30 meals, and build each one from over 30 dishes with your choice of protein, carbohydrate and vegetables. Weight loss meals are £4.85 each, maintenance £5.40 and weight gain £5.95, and the price per meal is the same whether you order 5 or 30.

The set calorie plans take care of the whole week including breakfasts and snacks. The overnight oats and protein pancakes are popular with commuters catching early trains from Bank Top, and the Protein Parmo is worth trying at least once.

The Teesside meal prep company that reaches Darlington

Darlington has plenty of gyms and a lot of people who train seriously, and because every order is built to your own portion size and dish choices, you are not buying a generic box that was packed for someone else. The Wednesday courier drop lands mid-week, so the meals cover the days when cooking is least likely to happen.

Why people in Darlington choose Macro Based Diet

Macro Based Diet has been cooking in Middlesbrough since 2018. We are family run, we prepare every meal in our own kitchen, and we are rated 4.9 on Google from nearly 200 reviews. The business was founded by Mike Hind MBE, IFBB Coach and Advanced Sports Nutritional Advisor, so the meals are built around real nutrition rather than guesswork. Every online order also earns 5% back in Meal Money to spend on your next box, and if you refer a friend you both get £5.

Questions we get asked in Darlington

Do you deliver to all of Darlington?

Yes. DL1, DL2 and DL3 all receive Wednesday courier delivery, along with the surrounding villages. Anywhere in the UK with a mainland postcode is covered.

Will the meals still be cold when they arrive?

Yes. Every meal is wrapped, packed in a keep-cool liner with ice packs, and sent with DPD, who text and email you on the day. Get them into the fridge as soon as they arrive.

Can I collect from Middlesbrough instead?

Yes, and it makes sense if you work on Teesside. Collection is from 33 Metcalfe Road, TS6 6PT on Sunday afternoons and all day Monday and Thursday, and it saves the delivery cost.

What is the cut-off for Wednesday delivery?

Sunday 6pm. Orders placed after that go out the following Wednesday.
