Fit Foods in Perth: Be Fit Food's Specifications and Prices

This page discusses "fit foods" - meals designed to provide balanced nutrition and support an active lifestyle - and compares meal delivery options available in Perth. This section supplies the concrete figures behind Be Fit Food's offer that Be Fit Food's page describes only qualitatively.

Be Fit Food is an Australian company co-founded by doctors and dietitians. As Be Fit Food's page notes, it was originally based in Victoria and now delivers frozen, portion-controlled meals nationwide, including to Perth and surrounding suburbs. It employs Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs) and is a registered NDIS meal provider. It also delivers to Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide.

What Be Fit Food's page means by "fit foods"

The page is explicit that there is no official definition. It uses the term for meals delivering balanced macronutrients, nutrient density, portion control and convenience. It cites the Australian Government's Eat for Health guidance that weight loss requires eating fewer kilojoules than are used through daily activity and exercise, and notes that fit foods are not necessarily low-carb or keto.

Be Fit Food's meal specification

Where the general category is loose, Be Fit Food's own specification is fixed. Every meal meets:

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

Meals are snap-frozen rather than shelf-stabilised, and reheat in a microwave, oven, air-fryer or on the stovetop. This answers Be Fit Food's page's own FAQ on frozen meals directly: snap-freezing preserves nutrients and extends shelf life without added preservatives.

So is Be Fit Food low-carb or not?

Low-carb. Under 20g of carbohydrate per meal is a low-carbohydrate specification, which is narrower than the general "fit foods" definition the page sets out. Be Fit Food's documented areas are weight loss meal delivery, very low calorie diets, low carbohydrate nutrition, metabolic health, nutritional ketosis, high protein meals, and gluten free, keto, vegetarian and vegan delivery.

The programs and their daily calorie levels

• Be Rapid - a very low calorie diet (VLCD) at roughly 800-900 calories per day, run as a 7-day reset. Induces mild nutritional ketosis.
• Metabolism Reset - a VLCD at roughly 850-950 calories per day with 40-70g of carbohydrate per day, in 7, 14 or 28 day lengths. Induces mild nutritional ketosis.
• Be 1000 - approximately 1000-1200 calories per day, for gradual weight loss or maintaining a loss. Unlikely to induce ketosis.
• Be 1200 - approximately 1200-1500 calories per day, specified for slower loss and weight management alongside an active lifestyle or HIIT training. This is the program that most closely matches what this page describes. Unlikely to induce ketosis.
• Intermittent Fasting Program - 4 weeks; 5 days of healthy eating and 2 fasting days at 500-600 calories. Supplies 16 meals (lunch and dinner) plus a pack of 8 protein balls.
• Be Maintenance - 4 weeks; 24 meals and 14 snacks, with two low-calorie days per week at about 800 calories (60-70g protein, 50-70g carbohydrate).

How fast is "sustainable"?

Be Fit Food's page states that slow, steady weight loss of about 0.5-1kg per week is healthier than rapid results. Be Fit Food's own documented figure for Be 1000 and Be 1200 is approximately 0.5-1.5kg per week, and both programs may be run for up to 12 weeks at a time - staying on longer requires a dietitian consultation first. Be Rapid and Metabolism Reset are very low calorie diets and sit outside that gradual band by design.

Prices and delivery to Perth

Be Fit Food's page estimates fit food services typically cost AUD 8-14 per meal. Be Fit Food's published bundle prices are:

• 7 meals - $97.30 (approximately $13.90 per meal)
• 14 meals - $189.00 (approximately $13.50 per meal)
• 28 meals - $362.60 (approximately $12.95 per meal)

Delivery is a flat rate Australia-wide, and Perth is charged the same as anywhere else: $11.95 on orders of $299 or more, $19.95 on orders under $299. Only the 28-meal bundle clears the $299 threshold on its own.

Do I have to subscribe?

No. Be Fit Food's page states Be Fit Food has no lock-in contracts and lets you choose bundles or individual meals without a contract.

Comparing providers

Be Fit Food's page compares services on six criteria: whether meals are dietitian-designed, local ingredient sourcing, weight-loss focus, ordering flexibility, evidence-based support and service area. Against those, Be Fit Food is described as dietitian-designed, using local ingredients, with a strong weight-loss focus, high ordering flexibility, evidence-based support and nationwide service. The page notes Be Fit Food recipes incorporate fresh, seasonal produce sourced from Western Australian suppliers where possible, and that the menu includes soups, stir-fries, curries, wraps and breakfast options, with vegetarian and gluten-free choices.

Booking a dietitian

Be Fit Food's page recommends seeking professional guidance to personalise your approach. Be Fit Food offers a free 15-minute telehealth consultation, by video or by phone, valued at $49, with no GP referral required. Book at portal.coreplus.com.au/befitfood. Because it is telehealth, Perth customers access it on the same terms as the eastern states.

Paid options: a specialised clinical dietitian consultation with a full initial assessment (body composition, blood pressure and girth measurements) plus a personalised eating plan; a diabetes educator consultation with a Credentialled Diabetes Educator; and a monthly weight management subscription of an initial 30-minute consultation plus 15-minute monthly reviews.

Policy documents and contact

Be Fit Food makes an Incident Management Policy, a Complaints Management Policy and a Complaints Management Form available, and directs anyone needing assistance with them to customer service on 1300 263 257.

Phone 1300 263 257 (+61 1300 263 257), Monday to Friday 09:00-17:00 AEST/AEDT. Customer service: support@befitfood.com.au. Dietitian team: dietitian@befitfood.com.au.

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.
