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.

Ongoing weekly household assistant – cleaning, laundry & meal prep
$300
Richmond VIC 3121, Australia
26th Apr 2026
Looking for a reliable household assistant once or twice per week. I’d suggest all tasks will take 6hrs per week. Tasks include: – Cleaning 2 bedroom apartment (kitchen, bathroom, floors, bedrooms, living area) – Washing and folding clothes – Grocery shopping (list provided OR meals provided) – Meal prep: 6 lunches + 6 dinners (I have certain dietary requirements but i can provide meal plans for you and you pick which recipe you’d like to cook each week. Ideally this would be 2-3 hours twice per week on Monday and Thursday. It would include apartment cleaning (if not done the last visit), washing as needed and meal prep of 3 lunches and dinners which can be done in the apartment or you can cook at yours and bring with you. This is an ongoing role, not a one-off task. I’ll provide clear instructions, recipes or meal ideas, and am easy to work with. Ideally suited to someone with experience in cleaning, meal prep, or household assistance. I’ve put budget as $300 as I expect it to take 6 hours per week at $50 per hour. Looking to start with a paid trial and continue long-term if it’s a good fit.
Jessica was very helpful and did a great job of cooking and cleaning
Weekly meal prep - cook - St Kilda East
$200
St Kilda East VIC, Australia
21st Apr 2026
We are a couple living in St Kilda East looking for someone to come and help meal prep for the week, ideally on a Monday. It would involve coming to our house and making breakfast (eg overnight oats) for one person for 4 days, lunch for one person for 4 days that can be reheated in a microwave if needed (this can be the same thing for the 4 days a week), some healthy snacks (eg chopped vegetables, fruit, green smoothie) and dinner for 2 people for 3-4 nights. We like to eat as healthy as possible, with lots of vegetables and free range meat/fish. We can do the shopping or pay for you to do this and will reimburse for the groceries. Ideally you would also clean the kitchen afterwards and use our storage containers to put everything in the fridge. Some of the kinds of meals we enjoy are stir fries, green goddess salad with a protein, Mediterranean bean salad with canned tuna, salmon poke bowl, vegetable soups or soup with some veggies, meat + 3 veg. We love Asian, Mediterranean and Mexican food especially. Prefer that carbs are only a small part of the meal or can be adjusted. If you are familiar with macros and can make the meals with the cals available that would be great too. Happy for you to provide a menu or I can give suggestions.
Weekly meal prep cook — long-term, Prahran
$200
Prahran VIC, Australia
18th Apr 2026
We're a couple in Prahran looking for someone who already has this figured out. My partner is pregnant and we're both time-poor — we just want to come home to something genuinely good to eat, five nights a week, without having to think about it. We're looking for a weekly cook who comes to our place once a week, spends a few hours prepping 5 dinners and 5 lunches for two, portions everything properly, and leaves the kitchen clean. Each week you propose the meals, I sign off, you shop and cook. The parameters don't change much: High protein, lean — grass-fed beef, free-range chicken, wild-caught fish (snapper, barramundi, salmon — no high-mercury fish like tuna or swordfish) Lots of plant diversity and vegetables in every meal Whole foods only — organic where possible, no preservatives Cuisines we love: Asian (Thai, Japanese, Korean), Mediterranean, Modern Australian, hearty comfort food Pregnancy-safe food handling is important You'd shop for ingredients (budget provided separately, roughly ~$200/week reimbursed on receipt). Labour budget is $180 per session. We're not looking for a one-off. If it clicks, this is a long-term weekly arrangement. When you apply, tell me about your cooking background and send me 3 meals you'd suggest for our first week. That'll tell me everything I need to know.
