What is Lite n’ Easy?

Lite n’ Easy is a personalised meal delivery service designed for weight loss, weight management, and for people who are too busy to prepare healthy nutritious meals every day.

What do you get with Lite n’ Easy?

Lite n’ Easy serves up a wide variety of dishes, with more than 160 meals currently on the menu. Options available include fresh meals, salad combos, Asian, Indian, international, traditional, ‘high protein’, chicken, beef, lamb, pasta, roasts, seafood, steaks, vegetarian, no-added dairy and no-added gluten meals.

• Breakfast & lunch
• Dinner
• Mini meals
• ‘Lite’ meals
• My Choice Meals
• Meals in a bowl
• Soups
• Desserts
• Easy Bites

If you’re craving more than the below meal plans, you can combine them with another plan in a way that suits you (i.e. ordering the regular full meal plan after completing Jump Start). This gives you greater flexibility, but it does put more planning responsibility in your hands.

How do I use Lite n’ Easy?

You can start using Lite n’ Easy by first completing a short quiz on the website, which allows you to see a recommended meal plan(s) based on factors including age, weight, height and the frequency and level of difficulty of exercise you do each week. There’s also an option that allows you to select your health goal, such as wanting to lose weight or simply wanting to have more convenient access to healthier dishes. Then, you can sign up to select your meals and delivery dates.

There are several meal plan options available, including:

Jump Start

Lite n’ Easy’s Jump Start option is a new two-week program designed to kick start your weight loss journey. It incorporates intermittent fasting with the meal plan, which consists of seven dinners, seven lunches, and five breakfasts. There’s also Jump Start PLUS which gives users exclusive access to the Jump Start App to track their progress.

Regular Full Meal Plans

Lite n’ Easy’s regular full meal plans aim to hit the sweet spot between weight loss and convenience. You can choose either the five-day or seven-day meal plan, and choose dishes based on a calorie limit of 1,200, 1,500 or 1,800. Your weekly delivery will include breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.

Dinner Only

Sometimes the last thing we want to do after a long day at work or school is to spend an hour slaving away in the kitchen. That’s why Lite n’ Easy offers a dinner-only meal plan to help you swap the burger and fries for dishes like chargrilled steak and pepper sauce, Thai red chicken curry, or smoked salmon with quinoa and cranberry slaw.

My Choice

Lite n’ Easy has developed the My Choice range for older Australians who prefer to eat smaller portions and find the regular meals too large. Unlike the rest of Lite n’ Easy’s meal plans, this is not intended for weight loss. Please note that My Choice is currently only available to customers in QLD, NSW, WA and ACT.

Is Lite n’ Easy just for losing weight?

Lite n’ Easy also has the My Choice range to help older Australians and seniors eat nutritiously, but is not made for weight loss.

Is Lite n’ Easy worth the money?

Don’t know if Lite n’ Easy is for you? Well, it all depends on what kind of meal service you’re looking for. While Lite n’ Easy is not exactly cheap, you’re paying for what is claimed to be a reliable service, which prides itself on delivering high-quality meals to your door. It might also help you save time and avoid the hassle of planning and cooking healthy food.

Since you’re not weighed down by a contract or required to purchase every week, you can order what you want as you go and get a good idea of whether Lite n’ Easy is for you.
