Top Meal Preparation & Planning related questions

It all depends on your health and fitness goals and your dietary needs and restrictions. Generally, a good meal plan emphasises vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, including lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts. It limits saturated and trans fats, sodium, and added sugars and must have controlled portion sizes. But as mentioned, every meal plan is unique. As long as you get your macronutrients through your meals, then your meal plan is good and balanced.

It’s highly recommended for you to be present when your meals are delivered to your location. This is because most meals can be perishable and must be immediately stored inside your fridge or freezer. You can do this by coordinating your schedule with your Tasker. Otherwise, make sure to advise someone at your location that your meals will be delivered so they can store them properly right away.

Most prepared meals last for four days, as long as they’re kept in an airtight container in your fridge or freezer. Some meals can even last longer, while some must be eaten in three days. It depends on the kind of meal your Tasker has prepared for you. For good measure, consume the meals according to the set meal plan and schedule to avoid food spoilage.

Like all plans, some wiggle room and improvisations must be done to make them work. Maybe it’s an unexpected lunch out with friends or a dinner date with your special someone. Whatever the case is, your Tasker can adjust your meal plan for you when needed. They can either bump your menu to the next day or save it for the next week. Remember to inform your Tasker immediately if you need to skip a day on your meal plan!

Absolutely! We understand that you may want to bring some people with you on your health journey. All you have to do is indicate this detail on your task. Specify how many people want to have their meals planned and prepared, and include their respective dietary preferences. Your Tasker can schedule a session with you to further understand each of your needs.

Your meal preparation & planning service can be paid via cash or through Airtasker Pay if you prefer a cashless transaction. Let your Tasker know which payment method you prefer beforehand. Also, discuss how often you want to pay for their service, whether it’s every day, every week, or every month. Lastly, make sure to ask your Tasker about all the inclusions, such as the delivery fee.

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.

Weekly Meal Prep Cook Needed – UPF-Free & Macro-Controlled (£20/h)

£60

Eltham, Greater London

11th Jul 2026

Location: Deliver to SE9 Budget: £20 per hour (for labour) + Cost of all groceries. ​About the Job: I am looking for a reliable home cook or personal chef to batch-cook 3 midweek dinners for me. My nutrition is highly specific, so attention to detail is essential. ​I am looking for someone to cook these meals at their own home, box them up, and deliver them to my house on either Sunday or Monday. ​The Food Rules: ​- No UPF. Everything must be made from scratch using whole ingredients (e.g., no jarred sauces with emulsifiers, no seed oils, no refined sugars). - ​No Sourdough. - ​No Liquid/Soft Dairy. (No milk, cream, mozzarella, or soft cheese. Hard, aged cheeses like Cheddar and Parmesan are fine). ​How the Portioning Works: For each of the 3 meals, I will give you my exact gram requirements for my portion (e.g., exactly 200g cooked chicken, 300g cooked rice). ​You will weigh out my specific portion using a digital kitchen scale and put it in a labeled container. ​The remaining excess food from the batch goes into a separate container. ​Example Meals Expected: The meals are simple, hearty, whole-food recipes that store well in the fridge. Examples include: - ​Beef Bolognese: Lean ground beef in a homemade tomato and vegetable sauce, served with pasta. ​- Roast Chicken and Vegetables: Chicken roasted with root vegetables (sweet potatoes or squash) and broccoli, tossed in olive oil and spices. ​- Chicken and Rice Bowls: Grilled chicken, peppers, and onions, served alongside a large batch of cooked rice (components stored separately). ​Logistics & Pay: ​I will pay £20 per hour for your time (shopping, cooking). ​Groceries: I will pay for all ingredients separately by reimbursing your receipts. ​Delivery: Must be able to drop off the food at my house in SE9 on Sunday or Monday. Thanks
