Weekly Meal Prep Cook Needed — 10–15 Large Meals Delivered

$250

Greensborough VIC 3088, Australia

30th May 2026

Looking for someone in Melbourne/Victoria to cook and deliver weekly bulk meals on Saturday or Sunday. I work long construction hours and need proper filling meals, not small diet meals or packaged gym-style meals. Looking for 10–15 large serves per week. High protein, decent carbs, vegetables, moderate salt. Meals like chicken and rice, beef and potatoes, pasta bakes, curries, chilli con carne, burrito bowls, stir-fries, slow-cooked beef, lamb, etc. Ideally meals would be around 700–900 calories each with 40g+ protein, but I don’t need perfect macro tracking. I mainly need big, fresh, healthy meals that are already put together and ready to reheat. Ongoing weekly work if the food is good. Please include examples/photos of meals you’ve cooked and your weekly price for 10–15 meals delivered.

Awesome service, beautiful fresh meals delivered, way better than going to other pre-packaged food companies and healthier!
