What do meal preparation & planning services include?

Having someone to plan and prepare your meals is an easy way to enjoy balanced, delicious meals while hitting your fitness goals at the same time! You can enjoy the convenience of having every meal customised according to your preferences and dietary needs. Here’s what you can expect from meal planning and preparation services near you:

Meal planning

Running out of meal ideas? Let a Tasker plan your meals and save you time and stress! They can personalise meal plans according to your dietary needs, restrictions, allergies, and aversions. You can have ready meals for a day, a week, or a month, but you can always have it adjusted whenever you want. From vegan and gluten-free to weight loss plans, your Tasker can prep your meals and keep you satisfied! For the health-conscious, hiring someone to give nutritional advice can be an added benefit, so you know which diet is the best for you. You can also get a personal trainer to help you lose fat, gain muscles, and reshape your body!

Meal preparation

For those who don’t have the time or energy to cook their own food, you can let your Tasker do it for you! They can prepare ahead meals based on the meal plan both of you have agreed upon. Your Tasker cooks your pre-prepared meals in either their kitchen or your own, and the meals should last depending on your agreed time frame. To make it even easier for you, you can get someone to shop for your groceries, so you can tick off items on your shopping list without having to step out of your house! Feel free to have fresh meat, veggies, and fruits delivered if you want to have your meal made with fresh ingredients.

Meal delivery

If your breakfast and lunch are cooked and prepared in your Tasker’s kitchen, you can have your meals delivered to your door. Your ready prepared meals are sent to you in freezer bags or oven-safe boxes, all set for reheating any time. Make sure to store them properly in your refrigerator or freezer to avoid getting them spoiled! If you need healthy meals delivered right away, a Tasker can also bring you healthy takeaway from your go-to restaurant so you can enjoy freshly-cooked food while sticking to your diet.

Twice Weekly Meal Prep for Coeliac/Food Sensitivities

$50

Kew VIC 3101, Australia

14th Oct 2025

Task price is for initial consultation to plan out meals. Any further work to be paid at same hourly rate (negotiable). I am seeking a careful, health-focused meal prep cook for twice-weekly batches (for perishable food). Work can be done at my home in Abbotsford, or off-site if you have a strictly coeliac-safe kitchen and can deliver ready-to-eat meals. About the diet: I have multiple dietary sensitivities. Requirements include coeliac safe and zero gluten, no added sugar, no added salt, mostly vegan with occasional paleo-style protein options, simple whole foods, minimal additives. I also have ARFID: Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder. This means strong sensory sensitivities and a very specific profile of safe foods and textures. I need predictable recipes, consistent textures, and no surprise ingredients (including seasonings). What you will do: • Plan a small rotating menu that fits the rules, confirm ingredients by text before cooking. • Shop, or cook with groceries I provide. Read every label for gluten, sugar, and additive risks. • Batch cook mains, sides, and snacks, portion into labelled containers with ingredients and date. • Deliver to Abbotsford if cooking off-site, put items away neatly, leave the kitchen tidy if on-site. • Keep a simple log of what was cooked, portions, and reheating notes. Good fit: • Meticulous about cross-contamination and food safety, ideally with Food Handlers certificate. • Experienced with coeliac cooking and special diets, comfortable following strict rules. • Calm, organised, good communicator by text, able to repeat successful recipes for consistency. • Happy to adjust texture, seasoning, and prep method to meet sensory needs. Examples of foods I like: • Smoothies • Salad wraps • Buddha bowls • Vegetable soups • Mixed greens (bok choy etc) with seasoning
