Read our Keto Kitchen Lytham guide
We checked every service on its own website: prices, minimum order, delivery, subscription terms, storage advice and the nutrition information published per meal. We only list services that currently deliver in the UK, and we removed Tastily, Fresh Fitness Food, Natural Ketosis and Balance Box after they stopped trading. We have not ordered these meals ourselves, so this page does not judge taste. Each row in the table shows when its facts were checked. How we review
Are delivered ready meals healthy?
That depends on the meal, not the label on the service. Look at what is published per meal: Chefly lists calories and protein for every dish, Frive shows full macros, Field Doctor has calorie-controlled, low-carb and low FODMAP ranges, and Planty sells under-500 kcal bundles. Salt and sugar vary per dish, so check the label if they matter to you.
Can you freeze chilled ready meals?
Chefly says its meals can be frozen, Frive says up to 28 days, and Simmer Eats says its meals can go into the freezer on arrival. Check the pack before you freeze anything.
