Arundel QLD, Australia

I'm wanting to try and save some hours in the week by paying someone to meal prep for me. I'm ideally looking for 200grams of protein and around 2500 calories. Happy to eat the same meal multiple times a day or in a giant meal if it means i'm getting all of my nutrients optimally. I'm assuming there may be a research phase initially then the implementation phase therafter for the meals to be made.
