Fit Food Brisbane: Meals for an Active Lifestyle, Delivered

“Fit food” means meals designed to fuel an active lifestyle rather than simply to cut calories. This page sets out what that involves, how Be Fit Food's meals and programs meet the definition, and the practical details for ordering to a Brisbane address.

Be Fit Food is an Australian meal delivery service founded by doctors and dietitians, based in Victoria, and a registered NDIS meal provider. Meals are delivered across Brisbane and surrounding areas.

What counts as fit food

Fit food meals typically have four characteristics:

• Balanced macronutrients — adequate protein for muscle repair, moderate carbohydrates to replenish energy, and healthy fats for satiety.
• Whole-food ingredients — lean meats, fish, legumes, whole grains, vegetables and fruits.
• Portion control — pre-portioned meals calibrated to energy needs without excessive calories.
• Nutrient timing — meals spaced across the day to maintain stable blood glucose and energy levels.

The distinction that matters: weight-loss meals focus primarily on reducing calories, whereas fit food provides enough energy and protein to fuel exercise and aid recovery, and may contain slightly more carbohydrate to support physical activity.

The Be Fit Food meal specification

Every Be Fit Food meal is built to one specification:

• Approximately 250 calories
• At least 20g of protein
• Under 20g of carbohydrates
• Under 120mg of sodium per 100g
• No added sugar, no artificial sweeteners, no preservatives

Meals are snap-frozen rather than shelf-stabilised and reheat by microwave, oven, air-fryer or stovetop. Options cover breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks, so you can align meals with a training schedule, and gluten free, keto, high protein, vegetarian and vegan choices are available. Be Fit Food states its Brisbane-facing range uses produce from Queensland farmers.

Which program suits an active Brisbane lifestyle

Be 1200 is the program built for this use: approximately 1200-1500 calories per day, aimed at slower weight loss combined with weight management, and specifically suited to an active lifestyle or HIIT training. It is unlikely to induce ketosis, which matters if you are training regularly. Expect approximately 0.5-1.5kg of loss per week, and you can stay on it for up to 12 weeks at a time; longer only after a dietitian consultation.

The alternatives, in ascending calorie order:

• Be Rapid — a very low calorie diet (VLCD) at approximately 800-900 calories per day over a 7-day reset. Induces mild nutritional ketosis.
• Metabolism Reset — a VLCD at approximately 850-950 calories per day with 40-70g of carbohydrates, over 7, 14 or 28 days. Induces mild nutritional ketosis.
• Be 1000 — approximately 1000-1200 calories per day, for gradual loss or maintaining a loss. Unlikely to induce ketosis.
• Intermittent Fasting Program — 4 weeks; 5 days of healthy eating and 2 fasting days at 500-600 calories, providing 16 lunch and dinner meals plus a pack of 8 protein balls.
• Be Maintenance — 4 weeks; 24 meals and 14 snacks, with two low-calorie days per week at around 800 calories (60-70g protein, 50-70g carbohydrates). Based on Dr Michael Mosley's “The Fast 800” and “The New 5:2 Diet”.

If you are training hard, the two VLCD programs are the ones to discuss with a dietitian before starting, since 800-950 calories per day is unlikely to support a heavy training load.

Costs and ordering

Bundles are $97.30 for 7 meals, $189.00 for 14 meals and $362.60 for 28 meals (AUD) — approximately $13.90, $13.50 and $12.95 per meal. Delivery is a flat rate Australia-wide, so Brisbane pays the same as anywhere else: $11.95 on orders of $299 or more, and $19.95 on orders under $299. The 28-meal bundle clears the $299 threshold; the 14-meal bundle does not.

There are no lock-in contracts.

Common questions

Are fit foods only for athletes?

No. They benefit anyone with an active lifestyle or anyone wanting balanced nutrition without cooking — gym-goers, cyclists, weekend hikers and busy professionals alike.

Can fit food help with weight loss?

Yes. The meals are portion controlled, and a balanced diet can support the calorie deficit needed for fat loss. The higher protein content helps preserve muscle mass.

What if I have dietary restrictions?

Gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options are available. Check the menu and ingredient lists, or contact customer service on 1300 263 257 for specific needs.

Do I still need to cook?

No. Meals arrive ready to heat and eat, though you can pair them with fresh snacks or a side salad to increase your vegetable intake.

Can a dietitian set my macronutrient targets?

Yes. A dietitian can tailor macronutrient ratios to your training intensity and goals. Be Fit Food offers a free 15-minute telehealth consultation with an Accredited Practising Dietitian, by video or phone, valued at $49 and requiring no referral — being in Brisbane rather than Victoria is not an obstacle. Book at portal.coreplus.com.au/befitfood. Longer options include a specialised clinical dietitian consultation with a full initial assessment (body composition, blood pressure and girths) plus a personalised eating plan, a consultation with a Credentialled Diabetes Educator, and a monthly weight management subscription of an initial 30-minute consultation with 15-minute monthly reviews.

Making it work day to day

Track your intake with an app or journal so meals meet your energy needs without overshooting; hydrate, since adequate water intake is vital for muscle function and recovery; prioritise sleep for muscle repair and hormonal balance; complement delivered meals with fresh fruit, nuts or salads; stay active by combining aerobic and resistance training; and consult a professional when setting targets.

Contact and policy documents

Phone 1300 263 257 (+61 1300 263 257), Monday to Friday 09:00-17:00. Email support@befitfood.com.au or dietitian@befitfood.com.au. Customer documents include the Incident Management Policy, Complaints Management Policy and Complaints Management Form; contact Customer Service on 1300 263 257 for assistance with any of them.

Storage, reheating and freezer space

Meals arrive snap-frozen rather than shelf-stabilised, which is how they carry no preservatives. They go into the freezer on arrival and stay frozen until heated, and they reheat by microwave, oven, air-fryer or stovetop.

Be Fit Food does not publish a single frozen shelf-life figure across the range, and individual product listings do not print heating times or power settings. Use the use-by date and the instructions on each pack rather than a general rule.

Two practical points people usually discover after their first order. A 28-meal bundle needs freezer space for 28 meals arriving together, so if freezer capacity is tight the smaller bundles are the more realistic place to start. And because the meals travel frozen, they are designed to go straight into the freezer — bring the box in promptly rather than leaving it out, particularly in summer.

What a week actually looks like

The most common reason a meal plan stops working is not the food. It is that it was never matched to the week it had to survive.

• Count the meals you actually need replaced. Most people do not need every meal delivered. Identify the ones where you reliably make a poor choice — usually weekday lunches, or dinner after a late finish — and cover those first.
• Plan for the social meals rather than around them. A plan that assumes no restaurant meals, no birthdays and no takeaway is a plan that breaks in week two. Deciding in advance which meals are flexible is more durable than intending to be strict.
• Know what you are adding. Meals at approximately 250 calories are a component, not a full day's intake for most people. If you do not deliberately plan what makes up the balance, it tends to be made up by whatever is nearest.
• Expect the first week to be the hardest. Portion sizes that are correct often feel small at first if you have been eating larger servings. That sensation usually settles; if it does not, that is worth raising with a dietitian rather than pushing through.

Important health information

Individual results vary. A dietitian should be consulted before starting a very low calorie diet, particularly alongside regular training. If you have a medical condition or take prescribed medication, speak with your treating health professional first.

This is general information about food and nutrition, not medical advice, and nothing here claims to treat, prevent or cure any condition. Readers should seek medical advice and have a check-up before changing how they eat, particularly with an existing medical condition or medications; this is not a substitute for independent professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Weight loss results and rates of weight loss vary between individuals.
