Certain health conditions require special diets—which can be quite challenging to sustain most of the time as their meals usually follow very specific parameters and formulations.
We found a workaround to this problem though. A lot of people nowadays opt for meal delivery services to break them into their special diet. It’s a convenient solution that takes the guesswork out of planning your meals and helps cut down on shopping trips and time in the kitchen. They provide you with healthy recipes, fresh ingredients, and step-by-step guidance on portion control, so you get the best out of what you’re eating every day.
If you’re interested in trying out this option but aren’t entirely sure which service to go with, here are a few tips to help you navigate the process: One, check the cost. Look for a brand that falls within your budget. Two, read reviews online before making any decision. This will help you determine what has been going well for others. And last, consider picking one that delivers some extras, like a bar of chocolate or some fresh fruits to snack on between meals.
Still not sure? Scroll through some of our recos for various dietary requirements:
Lactating moms
Maintaining a healthy weight and eating well are crucial steps to being a healthy mom. However, it can be difficult for new mothers to find the time, energy, or ability to prepare food while caring for their babies. Some moms might also not have access to quality meals that are appropriate for them and their growing children.
Luckily, there’s an easy way around these challenges: Avail of the “Best Feed” meal program from The Hearty Grub. Its standard five-day subscription includes three main meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), two lactation snacks, lactation drinks, and a serving of soup a day for P1,500. You may place your orders via 0917-4794679 or its website.
Keto-pescatarians
For those who aren’t too familiar, a keto-pescatarian diet is a type of low-carb, high-fat vegetarian diet which excludes the consumption of meat but includes seafood.

Vegans
More and more people are turning to veganism for a variety of reasons. Some go vegan because they feel better after their significant life changes, some have decided to make the big change because they’re concerned about the environment, and some see the practice as an ethical choice.
Whatever your reason is though, Fit Food Manila makes meal planning a whole lot easier. Rates vary depending on how long your subscription lasts, but a four-week subscription costs P400 a day, which is already inclusive of three meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner).
