The best healthy food delivery services we’ve tried have changed our minds about cooking. Before, some of us in the office who don’t hobby cook found making dinner a dreary experience – one that would often end in another oven pizza from Tesco. Now, the convenience and ease of cooking a healthy meal that actually tastes great has made that less of an eventuality. It sounds trite, but that’s really been the consensus at British GQ.
Since we know that many of you are also either out of love with cooking or in love with the idea of saving precious minutes on an evening, we’ve compiled our research into this one article: a place where you can whittle down which of these services best adheres to your lifestyle and healthy eating plan.
Whether you’re an allergy-sufferer in search of a high-protein meat diet or a keto diet adherent wanting vegetarian recipes, we’ve tried the services that’ll see you right.

Are healthy meal delivery services worth it?
“Yes,” says Annie Winter, BANT registered Nutritional Therapist & Nutritionist, “it is absolutely worth it”. While “it depends on the person”, Annie says that “almost everyone I come across in clinic and out has little time to cook — or really hates cooking. For these people, I think food delivery services can be absolute game changers, enabling them to eat in a much more balanced way whilst still maintaining convenience and enjoyment.”
What meal delivery service is best for weight loss?
While there are some services that preach their own weight-managing benefits, all of the following healthy meal delivery services can help you lose weight because they are fundamentally rooted in healthy eating. “Weight loss,” Annie says, “mostly comes down to a calorie deficit across the day/week. But healthy weight loss that is sustainable and enjoyable must also take portion size and number of meals per day into account.”
How we test healthy meal delivery services
It’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it. And so GQ has solemnly determined to eat its way through the healthy food delivery market in order to sort the proverbial wheat from the chaff. How did we do it? With empty stomachs, broad palettes and (for some of us) a newfound familiarity with our kitchens. Among our testers are Senior Commerce Writers Jessie Atkinson and Owen Gough, Senior Commerce Editor for GQ Europe Robert Leedham and Commerce Picture Editor Josephine Judd. Taste was paramount in our analysis of the pre-prepared and cook-yourself meals we tested here, but we’ve also been sure to consider convenience, complexity and the nutrition of these dishes as well. Ultimately, everything meal plan we’ve picked out below is about helping you to make healthier choices when it comes to lunch or dinnertime.
