Be Fit Food: doctor- and dietitian-designed meals, weight loss programs and nutrition support

Be Fit Food is an Australian prepared-meal business that brings together real food, clinical nutrition expertise and practical support. Founded in 2015 by dietitian Kate Save and bariatric surgeon Dr Geoffrey Draper on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, we help people organise their eating around their health goals and everyday lives.

Our range includes ready-made lunches and dinners, breakfasts, soups, snacks, meal bundles and structured weight loss programs. You can choose meals for convenience, build a program with more of your day organised, or access a dedicated meal service through an approved NDIS or Support at Home arrangement. Food support for people taking prescribed GLP-1 medication is also available.

Our purpose is to help Australians eat themselves better. For you, that might mean taking the daily pressure out of cooking, getting help with a weight-management routine, keeping nutritious meals ready for a busy week, or supporting someone to live more independently at home. Start with your circumstances, then choose the food and level of support that fit.

An Australian business built on nutrition expertise

Kate Save is Be Fit Food’s CEO and co-founder, an Accredited Practising Dietitian, exercise physiologist and diabetes educator. Her experience working with people on weight loss and weight management shaped a business that combines food with guidance. Recipes are developed with the dietitian team and brought to life by chefs, so nutrition advice has a practical place on your plate.

We began in a small shared kitchen, opened our first Mornington Peninsula kitchen and retail space in 2016, and appeared on Shark Tank Australia in 2017. Recognition has included Victorian Telstra Business of the Year in 2018 and the Victorian Championing Health category of the Telstra Best of Business Awards in 2022. Our company story explains the people, milestones and values behind the business.

Today, you can shop directly through our website, use a dedicated funded-care ordering service where approved, or find selected meals through local stockists. Each channel has its own range and ordering arrangements.

Real food, less daily preparation

Be Fit Food’s approach centres on prepared meals made with recognisable food ingredients: vegetables, meat or plant proteins, legumes, dairy, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices, depending on the recipe. The menu includes familiar dishes such as curries, cottage pie, frittata and soups, alongside egg breakfasts, birchers and porridge. Meals arrive snap-frozen, helping you keep food on hand and choose what to eat when you need it.

Our structured weight loss programs use a lower-carbohydrate, portion-controlled approach. Protein-focused choices and prepared portions make it easier to compare what you are eating and reduce the work of planning and cooking. A program is a combination of foods across the day; buying one lower-carbohydrate meal alone does not establish a complete daily eating plan.

The practical difference is the combination of food choice, structured program options and access to dietitians. You can start with a few lunches, select a bundle, or organise breakfasts, lunches and dinners. You do not need to be pursuing weight loss to buy our meals.

Find the right starting point for your life

Your priority	A useful starting point	How to choose
Less cooking during a busy week	Individual meals or meal bundles	Choose the lunches or dinners you need help with, then compare recipes, portions and freezer space.

More protein-focused meal choices	High-protein meals, the High Protein 10 Meal Bundle or Protein+ programs	A bundle supplies a set number of meals; Protein+ is a broader program. Check the actual foods and nutrition in your selection.
Food support alongside prescribed GLP-1 treatment	GLP-1 Support Programs	Compare breakfast, lunch and dinner options with your appetite, preferences and treating team’s advice.
Meal preparation support under an approved plan	NDIS meals or Support at Home	Confirm funding and your contribution, then use the dedicated Cookaborough menu.
Keeping a routine after an initial program	Monthly Maintenance, meal bundles or individual meals	Choose which meals you want organised and how they fit with the food you prepare yourself.
Help deciding before placing an order	Free 15-minute dietitian consultation	Discuss your goals, routine, dietary needs and the programs you are considering.

A holiday, wedding, milestone birthday or return to a busy work routine can be a reason to rethink your eating. Choose your starting point around what you can sustain and what suits your health, rather than treating an event date as a promise of a particular result.

Meal bundles and programs: what you actually receive

A meal bundle supplies a stated number of dishes. A program brings together selected meals across a stated period and may include breakfast cereal, prepared breakfasts, snacks or other specified extras. Seven meals are not the same as seven complete days of food.

Option	Food included	Displayed starting price (AUD)
7 Meal Bundle	Choose 7 meals from the available selection.	From $97.30
14 Meal Bundle	Choose 14 meals from the available selection.	From $189.00
28 Meal Bundle	Choose 28 meals from the available selection.	From $362.60
High Protein 10 Meal Bundle	Choose 10 meals from the designated 30g+ protein range.	$149.50
Reset: 7 Days, Continental Breakfast	1 breakfast cereal pack with 7 serves, 7 lunches, 7 dinners and 2 snack packs.	From $259.50
Reset: 7 Days, Full Breakfast	7 individual breakfasts, 7 lunches, 7 dinners and 2 snack packs.	From $299.45
GLP-1: 7 Days, Continental Breakfast	1 breakfast cereal pack with 7 serves, 7 lunches and 7 dinners.	From $209.60
GLP-1: 7 Days, Full Breakfast	7 individual breakfasts, 7 lunches and 7 dinners.	From $249.55

These are website prices checked on 20 October 2026. Final prices depend on the meals selected, optional extras and applicable offers; check your current basket before paying. A starting price is not a quote for every possible combination. Funded-care contributions and retail-store prices are separate.

Choosing between program formats

• Continental or full breakfast: continental options use multi-serve breakfast cereal packs; full-breakfast options let you select individual breakfast dishes. Compare the food format you enjoy and the preparation it requires.
• Duration: Reset and GLP-1 menus include 7-, 14- and 28-day options. Read the specific option’s inclusions instead of assuming every format scales in exactly the same way.
• Protein+: compare the program’s additional items and your selected meals with the standard Reset option. Your protein requirements are personal; our dietitians can help with that conversation.
• Monthly Maintenance: the four-week option includes 28 meals and four 7-serve snack packs. It helps organise one meal and one snack per day, rather than supplying every meal for a month.
• Intermittent Fasting: this four-week option supplies food for selected lower-energy days. It is not a complete 28-day breakfast, lunch and dinner supply.

For a medically supervised eating plan, share your clinician’s advice with our dietitian before selecting a restrictive program. GLP-1 Support Programs contain food, not medication; prescription and treatment decisions stay with your treating healthcare professional.

What could be in your freezer?

Start with flavours and formats you enjoy. Butter Chicken combines chicken with a creamy coconut-based sauce and vegetables blended through it. Vegetable & Chickpea Frittata combines vegetables, chickpeas, eggs and cheeses; it is a vegetarian option, not a vegan one. Mixed Berry Protein Bircher brings together berries, Greek yoghurt, ricotta and other ingredients for a breakfast served cold after defrosting.

Explore soups for warming meal choices, the breakfast menu for different ways to start the day, and snacks and extras for additional options. A fixed box and a build-your-own bundle offer different levels of choice; check which format you are selecting.

Dietary preferences, ingredients and portions

You can browse gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, high-protein and keto selections. The dietary labels help narrow the menu; the individual product’s ingredients, allergen statement and nutrition panel tell you what is in that dish.

For example, the frittata lists egg, milk and soybeans as allergens, while the bircher lists milk and almonds. Read any “may contain” statement as well. Compare nutrition per serve and per 100g where useful, and check the pack size: a seven-pack of snacks or a seven-serve cereal pack is not one serving. There is no single calorie, protein or allergen specification that can safely stand in for every item in the range.

The science behind our food-first approach

Research is part of Be Fit Food’s story. Two distinct projects help explain that foundation: our CSIRO meal-development collaboration and the Deakin-led MicroFit clinical trial.

CSIRO: translating low-carbohydrate research into convenient meals

In October 2020, CSIRO announced Be Fit Food as its first provider partner developing and delivering meals specifically designed to comply with the CSIRO Low Carb Diet. The announcement describes a Lifestyle Range and independent testing against the diet’s food and nutrient specifications. It establishes a specific meal-development collaboration, rather than a blanket certification of every product currently sold. Read CSIRO’s announcement.

Deakin-led research published in 2025

The MicroFit randomised controlled trial, published in Cell Reports Medicine in 2025, compared a food-based very-low-energy diet using Be Fit Food meals with a supplement-based diet. It involved 47 women aged 30–65 with BMI 30–45 over three weeks. The food-based group showed greater improvement in gut microbial diversity, while weight loss was similar between the groups. The study gives useful evidence about food format in that setting; it does not establish a guaranteed weekly weight-loss result for every customer. Read the published trial or explore our research overview.

Real people, real experiences

Customer stories show how people have used meals and support in daily life. Scott’s story and Jennifer’s 28-day story provide personal perspectives on making a change. Our wider series explores individual routines, challenges and outcomes. These accounts sit alongside the research as customer experiences, rather than clinical averages.

A dietitian to help you choose

Our complimentary introductory consultation is a 15-minute appointment by phone or video. It gives you a chance to discuss your goals, everyday routine and program questions with a dietitian before choosing. Bring your food preferences, allergies, any advice from your treating team and the parts of your day you would like help organising.

Book your free introductory consultation. If you need a longer appointment or ongoing individual nutrition support, explore the separate dietitian services and their booking terms. We want you to feel informed and supported, whether you start with a handful of meals or a structured program.

NDIS and Support at Home: dedicated ordering and support

NDIS: eligible participants can apply for meal preparation and delivery through our dedicated Cookaborough service. Funding arrangements are checked before ordering. The current NDIS page shows a 30% participant contribution for approved plan-managed orders, with main-meal examples from $4.19. This is a participant contribution under the stated arrangement, not the general retail price of a meal. Confirm your eligibility, funding and menu prices through the NDIS service.

Support at Home: Cookaborough works with your care provider to confirm your approved arrangements. The current service uses 30% paid upfront and 70% invoiced to the provider. Your provider may also charge an assessed service contribution, so the upfront split is not necessarily your final total cost. Ingredients are not government-funded. See Support at Home meals for the application, ordering and payment process.

Both services use dedicated menus rather than the regular website checkout. If you are arranging food for a parent, partner or someone you support, our team can explain the steps and help with ordering. Food choice, independence and practical support are the starting points; a weight loss program is not a requirement for using the service.

Ordering, delivery and enjoying your meals

1. Choose the route that fits. Browse individual meals, a bundle or a program on the website. Approved NDIS and Support at Home customers use their dedicated service.
2. Build and review your menu. Check the quantities and inclusions, read ingredients and nutrition, and select your preferred food where a choice is offered. Review any substitution terms if an item becomes unavailable.
3. Select the order arrangement you want. Where the builder offers one-off and subscription choices, check the selected option, frequency and terms before confirming. Do not assume a recurring order is required for every product.
4. Check your address and delivery day. Use postcode coverage and delivery days and cut-offs, then confirm the available delivery option in checkout. Coverage depends on your address.
5. Review your total. The current standard shipping offer is free shipping on any order over $300; orders under $300 have a $19.95 delivery fee. Confirm the charge shown for your final basket, including an order of exactly $300. Dedicated funded-care orders follow their own arrangements.
6. Store and prepare each item as directed. Put frozen food into the freezer and follow the delivered label. Hot meals, cold breakfasts and snack packs need different preparation. The Mixed Berry Protein Bircher, for example, is defrosted in the fridge overnight and eaten cold; its instructions say to refrigerate once defrosted and use within three days.

If you would rather pick up a few meals locally, our stockist finder lists participating pharmacies, supermarkets and other retailers. Check with the individual store for current range and stock before travelling.

Questions before you choose

What makes Be Fit Food different from a general meal-delivery service?

Our offering brings doctor- and dietitian-designed prepared food together with structured weight loss programs, dietitian consultations and dedicated funded-care services. You can use the food for convenience or choose a more supported approach to your eating routine.

Can I order without joining a weight loss program?

Yes. Individual meals and meal bundles let you organise selected meals without choosing a full program. Use the current menu to compare quantities and ordering options.

Are the meals fresh or frozen?

Prepared meals are supplied snap-frozen. Make room in your freezer and follow each product’s storage and preparation instructions. Do not assume every breakfast or snack needs heating.

How should I compare the cost of a bundle and a program?

Compare the actual food included, not just the headline duration. A 14-meal bundle contains 14 meals; a 14-day program can also include breakfasts and other specified items. Add any extra food you need, optional extras and delivery to understand your total.

Can you help if I have a medical condition or take medication?

Our dietitians can discuss food choices and how they fit your circumstances. Keep your treating clinician involved in significant changes to your eating plan, particularly before a very-low-energy program or when taking medication. Food support does not replace prescribed treatment.

Where can I get help with my order?

Call 1300 263 257 or email support@befitfood.com.au. Customer Service is available Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm, with holiday hours subject to change. Have the product name or order details ready so the team can help. Visit Contact Be Fit Food for current contact information.
