Meal Prep Delivered Across Mainland UK, Cooked in the North East

Macro Based Diet cooks fresh, calorie-controlled, macro-counted meals in our own kitchen in Middlesbrough and sends them chilled across mainland UK with DPD. We do not deliver to the Scottish Highlands, the Channel Islands or Northern Ireland. Order by Sunday 6pm and your meal prep lands on Wednesday, whether you are in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool, Sheffield, Bristol, Nottingham, Leicester, Coventry, Newcastle, Sunderland, York, Hull, Bradford, Stoke, Derby, Northampton, Milton Keynes, Reading, Oxford, Cambridge, Norwich, Southampton, Portsmouth, Brighton, Plymouth, Exeter, Cardiff, Swansea, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dundee, or a village nobody else delivers to.

We are family run, we have been cooking since 2018, and we are rated 4.9 on Google from nearly 200 reviews. A growing share of our orders now goes outside Teesside, and London alone sends us more orders than most towns on our own doorstep.

Why a North East kitchen costs you less

Most of the national meal prep brands cook in or around London, Manchester or the Home Counties and pay London, Manchester and Home Counties rents, wages and overheads. Then they charge for it. Look at their prices and you will find most sit somewhere between £6 and £8 a meal, and some are well over £10.

Our kitchen is on an industrial estate in Middlesbrough. Our costs are North East costs, and our prices show it: weight loss meals are £4.85 each, maintenance £5.40 and weight gain £5.95, and the price per meal is the same however many you order. That is the same food, cooked fresh the same week, built to your own portion size and your own choice of dishes, for pounds less per meal. Over a 15-meal order the difference pays your delivery several times over.

How national delivery works

  • Order by Sunday 6pm
  • Your meals are cooked fresh that week, chilled and packed
  • DPD deliver on Wednesday, and text and email you on the day
  • Delivery is £7.50 per order, however many meals are in it

Every meal is wrapped and packed in a keep-cool liner with ice packs so it is fridge-cold when it arrives. Get the meals into the fridge as soon as you can, or freeze them on the day they arrive. Then just heat and eat.

What you can order

Most customers start with the meal builder. Choose weight loss, maintenance or weight gain portions, pick as many meals as you want, and build each one from over 1,300 meal combinations of chicken, beef, pork and meatballs with your choice of carbohydrate and vegetables. Every dish shows its calories and macros as you build, and every tray is labelled.

If you would rather hand the whole week over, the set calorie plans include breakfasts, mains and snacks at a fixed daily calorie target. Add the overnight oats and protein pancakes for the mornings, and try the Protein Parmo®, our own high-protein version of the Teesside classic.

Built by a coach, not a marketing department

The business was founded by Mike Hind MBE, IFBB Coach and Advanced Sports Nutritional Advisor, and every meal is built around real nutrition rather than guesswork. Every online order earns 5% back in Meal Money to spend on your next order, and if you refer a friend you both get £5.

Questions we get asked about national delivery

Do you really deliver everywhere?

Every mainland UK postcode apart from the Scottish Highlands. We cannot deliver to the Highlands, the Channel Islands or Northern Ireland. Teesside postcodes go on our own van instead, three times a week; see the delivery areas page for the full list.

Will the meals still be cold when they arrive?

Yes. They travel in a keep-cool liner with ice packs and arrive chilled. DPD let you pick a safe place or a neighbour if you are out, and you get their tracking texts on the day.

Can I order every week?

Yes. Order by Sunday 6pm each week and your meals arrive on Wednesday. Plenty of customers outside Teesside order week in, week out, and the Meal Money adds up.

Why are you cheaper than the brands I have seen advertised?

Because we cook in Middlesbrough, not London. Same fresh food, same-week cooking, lower overheads. We would rather pass that on than spend it on advertising.

Closer to home

If you are in the North East, you may be on our own van rather than the courier. See Middlesbrough, Stockton-on-Tees, Ingleby Barwick and Thornaby, Hartlepool, Redcar and the rest on the delivery areas page, or the courier pages for Darlington, Durham and Newcastle and Gateshead.
