The key to kickstarting your healthy eating journey

This is advertorial content for MACROS

Healthy eating can often feel like piecing together an impossible puzzle. With constantly changing advice and life's surprises in the mix, it can be hard to resist sitting on the couch with your hand stuffed into a bag of comfort food. But establishing healthy food foundations is easier than you might think.

Getting back on track or reaching health goals doesn't need to be another stress added to your plate. The secret is to outsource your meals to the experts.

Let the professionals do the work

Healthy eating isn't about following any one diet, like vegan, paleo or omnivore. The key is to nourish your body with the right amounts of essential nutrients from quality food sources. Getting this balance right sets you up for long-term success, as sugar cravings will ease and you'll feel less inclined to snack.

MACROS meals are created by a team of in-house dieticians and chefs to ensure they are nutritionally balanced, portion-controlled and packed with flavour. These delicious meals are specifically designed to contain the right balance of macro and micronutrients you need to feel your best, without sacrificing an ounce of taste.

This means kissing goodbye those trips to the supermarket spent analysing ingredient lists, improvising dishes from sad-looking items in the back of the fridge or slaving over the stove – all without any guarantee you're meeting your body's needs.

MACROS ready-made meals use wholefood ingredients delivered to your door fresh, not frozen. The only work you need to do? Heat them up and enjoy.

Meal plans for every lifestyle

Choose from six different meal plans that cater to a range of lifestyles and goals. If you want to focus on fitness, the Sculpt, Perform and Gain meal plans are for you.

Sculpt meals are high in protein and lower in carbs and calories to prioritise definition and toning. Perform meals are protein-packed, with a moderate amount of carbs to fuel stamina and recovery. The calorie-loaded Gain meals are brimming with carbs and protein to fuel muscle growth.

If you're after dishes that help you either trim down or maintain your everyday wellbeing, you can choose between the Balanced, Plant Based and Weight Loss plans.

Balanced meals are healthy all-rounders that suit everyone. Plant Based meals are packed with plant protein – no faux meats in sight. Weight Loss meals are under 350 calories, high in protein and low in carbs to fast-track results. It's a great option if you want to sort out a few of those cheeky quarantine kilos.

All meals are single serve, but if you hope to share your loot with a friend, family member or partner, opt for the family-sized 700g portion that serves two.

Catered to all tastebuds

MACROS tasty recipes are regularly updated by the MACROS team of chefs and dieticians, so you never get bored. You'll be tucking into the likes of Japanese miso salmon, beef Bourguignon with herb mash, spicy Thai basil chicken and Mediterranean moussaka.

Healthy extends beyond the food

Sustainably minded design and processes are an important part of healthy living. MACROS allows you to order the exact number of meals you need for the week, which helps to reduce unnecessary food waste. In addition to this, all veggie scraps at MACROS HQ are returned to local farms to be used as compost.

They also take a considered approach to packaging. Your meals will arrive fresh by courier in an insulated, recyclable refrigerated box. Thanks to the Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP), which uses a natural preservation process that removes oxygen, the food retains its nutritional profile while significantly increasing its shelf life without the need for freezing or vacuum sealing.

When you're ready to enjoy a meal, you can safely leave it in the container to heat. The container is microwave-safe, won't leech toxic BPAs into your food and of course, is recyclable.
