Just received an email from Youfoodz celebrating their new Winter menu. Works out to approx $6/meal. The coupon applies a $20 credit on checkout and a free mexi-beef pasta is added upon delivery. So ordering 7 meals results in $49 for 8 meals. I wasn't sure how to format the title so I left it as it appeared in the email.

    coming in at $58.95 for 8 meals for me?

      Here's a copy of the email I received from them: https://i.imgur.com/aK4Eigw.jpg
      Had to remove my original comment as it included personal information. Perhaps it's winter menu items only?

      EDIT: Figured it out. The code is 2 free meals taking it down to 49.95 for 7, and a free mexi-beef pasta is automatically added for the 8th meal. I'll update my post.

    $20 postage to Perth making it $8.6 per meal. (profanity) that, I'll go to Woolies/Coles and get 3 different frozen meals for $8.6 that probably taste similar.

      Frozen meals certainly taste worse, and they also take longer to reheat in the microwave.

      These were refrigerated, and most take two minutes to heat.

      However I agree, they are not great value if you have other options, especially in WA

          @RJK: are they healthy? Most of these are. Although you need to watch out for salt content on some of these youfoodz meals

        • RJK on 12/07/2018 - 07:36

          @flashi007: Depends on what you consider healthy I suppose. If you're concerned about sodium content, the red thai claims to contain 53% of your daily amount (it has fish sauce after-all), while the lamb rogan josh has 35%.

          Otherwise they're mostly from whole ingredients, and I don't feel yuck after them like I do with the Coles meals.

          @nurries: You might try Core Powerfoods. I picked some up at Spud Shed Bentley yesterday for $6.99 I think it was. The "Muay Thai Meatballs" (red curry chicken meatballs with rice & greenbeans) I'm eating while writing this is P43g, C38.8g, F19.8g, and they have a few other options that are lower fat/carbs. Even if you want to eat 2 of them in a meal, you're still looking at $14/meal which is pretty reasonable for a macro-balanced meal that's high in protein.

          Only downside is their flavours are a bit boring.. I remember they had some more interesting ones back when the meals were $12ea. Even this red curry one - I could probably meal prep it myself and get better flavour, with better macros at a much better dollar value. But the real value, for me, is having something I can quickly grab from the freezer without having to do the prep.

          YouFoodz seem okay, but at 30-40g protein per meal, I'm going to have to supplement more meat to hit my daily target

        • Xastros on 09/07/2018 - 11:10

          @chriskq: But they are not cheap. Hence @nurries comment that it is expensive to bulk which is 100% true. To bulk you have to eat more food = more expensive. You have to eat a higher proportion of protein, the most expensive macro. No way around it.

      • Plasma Ball on 08/07/2018 - 19:41

        Their meals average between 300-500 calories, which should be the normal amount of a meal, provided you're not trying to bulk or not exercising vigorously and expending high amount of energy (I don't think the typical Ozbargainer is).

        Every time I eat one of their meals I'm honestly satisfied, but again I don't eat to feel like I'm full.

        • Dex on 09/07/2018 - 11:21

          To put it in context, according to the google a 200g steak from Coles is going to come in around 40-50g of protein, 150g of chicken breast is going to be about 45g. These meals tend to be in the 29-36g range. So the meat is 'okay', but certainly if you're a meat eater you might find it a bit light.

          TDEE for a 30yo 180cm 80kg male who sits at a desk all day and doesn't go to the gym is ~2136 calories, so at 300-500cals each, if you eat 3 of these meals you're going to be losing weight (and possibly hungry). Given you'll probably snack on other crap through the day, it may not be an issue

        • Xastros on 09/07/2018 - 11:34
          +1

          Average recommended daily calories to maintain weight is around 2200 cals/8700 kj. 300-500 calories per meal is woefully inadequate for the 'average' if you eat 3 squares a day. If the meals are all 300 cals you would need to eat 7 meals as an average person.

          Of course varies from person to person.

      • McBanjo on 09/07/2018 - 07:43

        They are very small, about half a meal. That’s my gripe with them. For small or short girls, fine, but need to be about 50% larger for males.

        I've bought at Broadmeadow IGA (Newcastle) and they seem to have a pretty full range. Like others, I find the meals don't satisfy. They are a good size, its just that I want to eat more than is in one feed.

    • plasmapuff on 08/07/2018 - 14:58

      No problems with eating them frozen. I've had some for ~6mths in the chest freezer. Microwave 3-5 mins and its all good.

      Not as good as the previous deal which was $4.64/meal ($41.79 for 7 meals, but they chucked in 2 thai noodles for free).

      Portion size is still ridiculously small with most meals in the 250-300g range. It's ok for lunches but for dinner's I use My Muscle Chef which works out to be $8.50 for a 400-500g meal.

        You feel uneasy eating food that didn't spoil. Strange logic.

        Food can last surprisingly long with the right amount of salt and water. Add the refrigeration and modified atmosphere and it will be even longer.

      • kyteflyer on 10/07/2018 - 06:11

        Don't be silly. They state somewhere on the site that they can be refrigerated and should be consumed within 9 days. I've had them a few times, including from IGA as well as home delivered, and they are fine. Nuke them a bit longer than recommended (i find that the recommended time isnt long enough in my microwave oven, the vegies remain cold/crunchy) and there should be no issues.

  • furythree on 08/07/2018 - 14:38

      if you used to eat lots of carbo ie bowl full of rice then yes they are small but actually good portion of lunch, and healthy. our belly might still want more but actually enough. enough without being feel full.

      • MHLoppy on 08/07/2018 - 15:33
        +5

        Even ignoring how full they might make you feel, the energy per meal (looks to be approx 350 kcal, but varies a lot) is still generally a bit low for most people if you're expecting a "3 meals a day" kind of deal. If you're demographically a low energy user (healthy weight, female, senior, low energy usage both during work and recreation), you'd still need ~5 of these per day (depending on which you pick) to get to a roughly balanced energy in/out. If you're anything higher energy than that (young, higher activity job / recreation etc etc) then you'd need more still.

        A low activity (work + recreation), healthy weight young adult male would need ~7 of these for roughly balanced energy in/out. If you're "moderately" active for work + recreation, then this increases to ~9 a day lol.

        If looking to use these for more than one meal per day, these would be better suited for people who regularly snack (more than just a piece of fruit or two a day) and/or those who regularly drink high-energy drinks (e.g. soft drinks, juice), or those looking to lose weight. Like yeah, you can double up on a meal or two, but that really hurts the value proposition. Alternatively, use them for just one meal a day (say if you're short on time when you usually have that meal), and then make up the deficit at other times.

        (daily energy needs taken from http://www.8700.com.au/kj-explained/your-ideal-figure/, which is made by the NSW gov)

        • iLoveYourFace on 08/07/2018 - 16:12

          Great post. Our bodies actually need energy. Not everyone is trying to lose weight and the size of a meal genuinely affects its value proposition.

          We need to look at the amount of food in a meal and not just how much the cost is per meal.

    Tbh, if you can stock something that can be kept for longer than a week, like Chinese cabbage, tomatoes, eggs, frozen prawns, frozen meet balls, noodles etc, you can easily make very nice noodle for less than 10 mins from preparation to finish, and you will only need to shop once a week or two weeks. You can mix and match different things to have your noodle done. That is what I do most of the time when I want quick and tasted food.
