Comparison with top UK providers
| Feature | BOSUPREP | Fresh Fitness Food | All Week | Planty | Mindful Chef |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Meals prepared fresh weekly | ✅ Always freshly prepared by professional chefs | ⚠️ Often chilled or frozen; not always same-week fresh | ⚠️ Mixed freshness, some “batch cooked” | ❌ Frozen meals only | ❌ Mostly recipe kits; you cook yourself |
| Chef-curated menus | ✅ Curated by expert in-house chefs | ⚠️ Macro-focused; limited chef input | ⚠️ Simple menu rotations | ⚠️ Plant-based only; limited flavour range | ⚠️ Home-cooking model; you prepare meals |
| Ready-to-eat convenience | ✅ Fully prepared — heat & eat in minutes | ⚠️ Yes, but freshness varies | ⚠️ Limited weekly range | ❌ Frozen; texture affected | ❌ Not pre-made; requires cooking |
| Nutrition for performance | ✅ Balanced macros; results-focused | ⚠️ Macro-heavy but less culinary-led | ⚠️ Basic calorie structure | ⚠️ Plant-only limits protein density | ⚠️ Healthy recipes, but you control nutrition |
| Value & quality | ✅ Premium quality, fair pricing | ⚠️ Typically high-end pricing | ⚠️ Economical but lacks freshness | ⚠️ Frozen-meal value reflects quality | ⚠️ Recipe kits add time cost |
