Meal prep in Singapore: the numbers that matter

Good meal prep starts with a balanced plate and a clear cost per meal. A few figures to anchor your choice:

• The balanced plate. Singapore's My Healthy Plate guide on HealthHub uses "Quarter, Quarter, Half": a quarter of the plate wholegrains, a quarter good sources of protein and half fruit and vegetables. A meal prep box that roughly follows this shape is a sound everyday choice.
• Tax. The current GST rate in Singapore is 9%, according to IRAS. Check whether a plan's listed price already includes it before you compare.
• YoloFoods in numbers. According to YoloFoods, it launched in Singapore in 2015, has served more than 1.2 million meals, and runs a rotating four-week menu of 60 dishes.
• Calorie targets. YoloFoods' weight loss plan offers five calorie targets from 1,100 to 1,950 kcal a day, according to its website.

Which meal prep delivery is good value in Singapore?

The best value meal prep delivery in Singapore is the one with the lowest cost per meal that you actually eat, with portions and nutrition that fit your goal. Most options fall into four groups:

1. Weekly frozen meal plans, such as YoloFoods. One delivery a week, meals stored in the freezer and reheated in minutes. Good value if your week is predictable, since meals do not spoil quickly and you only reheat what you need.
2. Fresh, chilled meal plans. Meals that are delivered more often and eaten within a few days. These suit people who eat at home on fixed days and prefer not to freeze food.
3. Meal kits. Pre-portioned ingredients that you cook yourself. Usually cheaper per meal than ready meals, but you pay in time.
4. Delivery apps and supermarkets. Ordering a healthy dish on foodpanda, or buying ready meals and groceries from FairPrice Online, suits irregular weeks with no subscription.

Other food and grocery stores on ShopBack Singapore include foodpanda and FairPrice Online, so you can start from ShopBack whichever route you choose.

How to work out the cost per meal

To compare meal prep plans fairly, divide the total you pay, including delivery, by the number of meals you will really eat. A short checklist:

• Add delivery. A free shipping threshold can change the maths, especially on small orders.
• Count the meals you will eat. Uneaten meals raise your real cost per meal.
• Compare portion sizes and calories. Two plans with the same price can have very different portions.
• Compare with your usual spend. Look at what you spend on lunch or dinner in a normal week.

Here is an illustrative example. A plan costing S$120 for 12 meals with free delivery works out to S$10 a meal. If you only eat 10 of the 12, your real cost rises to S$12 a meal. These numbers are only an example; check the live prices on each provider's site.

YoloFoods meal prep Singapore: how it works

YoloFoods is a Singapore meal plan brand that cooks, flash-freezes and delivers ready meals once a week. According to YoloFoods:

1. Designed. Each meal is calibrated to a specific macro target by its in-house nutritionist.
2. Cooked. Meals are cooked in its kitchen by its chefs, with ingredients it describes as ones you would recognise from a hawker stall.
3. Frozen. Meals are flash-frozen within three hours, with no artificial preservatives.
4. Delivered. One delivery a week to your door, and meals are ready in about three minutes.

YoloFoods lists plans for different goals on its four-week menu: Slim, Performance, Balanced and Kids. If you have a medical condition or are on medication, speak to your doctor or dietitian before you change your diet.

Is frozen meal prep good value compared with fresh?

Frozen meal prep is usually better value than fresh when your week is unpredictable, because frozen meals last longer and less goes to waste. Fresh, chilled meals suit people who like to eat a meal within a day or two of delivery and who eat at home on fixed days.

Things to weigh up:

• Freezer space. A week of frozen meals needs room, so measure your freezer before you order.
• Reheating. Follow the reheating instructions on the pack. YoloFoods says its meals are ready in about three minutes.
• Variety. A rotating menu, such as YoloFoods' four-week rotation, helps you avoid eating the same dishes every week.
• Nutrition. YoloFoods says its flash-freezing keeps more than 92% of nutrients. Treat any provider's nutrition claims as its own, and look at the calorie and macro labels on each meal.

How to choose a meal prep plan in Singapore

Choose a meal prep plan by your goal first, then by cost per meal and convenience. A practical checklist:

1. Goal. Weight loss, muscle gain, balanced eating or meals for children each need different portions and calories.
2. Labels. Look for calories and macros on every meal.
3. Allergens and diet. Check ingredients if you avoid certain foods, and ask the provider about halal status or other needs.
4. Delivery. Check delivery days and whether someone will be home to receive frozen food.
5. Flexibility. Check how changes, cancellations and refunds work in the provider's policy before you subscribe.
6. Trial size. Start with a smaller plan, then scale up once the meals fit your routine.

Is meal prep cheaper than hawker food in Singapore?

Not always: a hawker meal can cost less than a meal prep box, but meal prep can save time and help you control portions and calories.

Compare your own cost per meal for each, and count the time you save on queuing, cooking and washing up.
