Meal prep by diet
Independent chefs cooking to a specific way of eating, delivered weekly across Los Angeles County, Orange County, Riverside County, San Bernardino County. Every dish publishes its calories and macros. If nobody cooks your diet yet, tell us and we'll find someone who will.
High Protein Meal Prep
Chefs cooking nowHigh protein meal prep from local chefs, cooked fresh each week rather than frozen and shipped. Every dish lists its protein, carbs, fat and calories, so you can match meals to your macros instead of guessing. Chefs adjust portions on request. Chefs price per dish, and most meals land around $12 to $20 each.
Keto Meal Prep
Taking requestsKetogenic meal prep means keeping carbohydrates low enough to stay in ketosis — generally under about 20g of net carbs a day. Because every dish on Prepared lists its carb, fat and protein counts, you can build a week that fits your own threshold rather than trusting a label. Chefs price per dish, and most meals land around $12 to $20 each.
Low Carb Meal Prep
Taking requestsLow carb meal prep swaps starches for vegetables and protein while keeping meals filling. It's less strict than keto — most people target somewhere under 20g of carbs per meal. Every dish lists its macros so you can hold your own line. Chefs price per dish, and most meals land around $12 to $20 each.
Low Fat Meal Prep
Taking requestsLow fat meal prep leans on lean proteins, vegetables and lighter cooking methods. Fat, protein, carbs and calories are published on every dish, so you can see exactly what you're eating rather than relying on a claim. Chefs price per dish, and most meals land around $12 to $20 each.
Weight Loss Meal Prep
Taking requestsWeight loss meal prep is mostly a calorie question: portioned, calorie-counted meals make a deficit easy to hold without weighing food yourself. Every dish on Prepared publishes its calories and macros, and chefs will size portions to a target you give them. Chefs price per dish, and most meals land around $12 to $20 each.
Gluten Free Meal Prep
Taking requestsGluten free meal prep from local chefs who cook your week to order. Because these are small independent kitchens rather than certified facilities, tell us about coeliac disease or a serious sensitivity up front — we'll only match you with a chef who can genuinely handle it. Chefs price per dish, and most meals land around $12 to $20 each.
Dairy Free Meal Prep
Taking requestsDairy free meal prep cooked by local chefs, without the butter, cream and cheese most prepared food leans on. If your dairy avoidance is an allergy rather than a preference, tell us — that changes which chefs we'll match you with. Chefs price per dish, and most meals land around $12 to $20 each.
Vegan Meal Prep
Taking requestsVegan meal prep made by local chefs — no animal products, cooked fresh weekly rather than frozen. Macros are listed on every dish, which matters more on a plant-based plan where hitting protein takes some planning. Chefs price per dish, and most meals land around $12 to $20 each.
Vegetarian Meal Prep
Taking requestsVegetarian meal prep from local chefs, with eggs and dairy on the table and meat off it. Every dish publishes its macros, so a vegetarian week is as easy to plan around as any other. Chefs price per dish, and most meals land around $12 to $20 each.
Paleo Meal Prep
Taking requestsPaleo meal prep is built on meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, nuts and seeds, leaving out grains, legumes, dairy and refined sugar. Chefs cook it fresh each week and publish the macros for every dish. Chefs price per dish, and most meals land around $12 to $20 each.
Mediterranean Meal Prep
Taking requestsMediterranean meal prep leans on olive oil, fish, vegetables, legumes and whole grains, with red meat used sparingly.

Diabetic Friendly Meal Prep
Taking requestsMeals built with steadier blood sugar in mind: controlled carbohydrate portions, fibre and protein in every dish, and the carb count published so you can carb-count accurately. Prepared is a marketplace of chefs, not a medical service — work with your care team on targets. Chefs price per dish, and most meals land around $12 to $20 each.
Halal Meal Prep
Taking requestsHalal meal prep from independent local chefs cooking to order each week. Because these are individual kitchens rather than certified facilities, tell us your requirements up front — meat sourcing, no alcohol in cooking, kitchen separation — and we'll match you with a chef who can genuinely commit to them. Chefs price per dish, and most meals land around $12 to $20 each.
Kosher Meal Prep
Taking requestsKosher-style meal prep from independent local chefs. Certified kosher requires a supervised kitchen, which most independent chefs don't have — so be clear about the standard you keep, from strictly certified to kosher-style (no pork or shellfish, no mixing meat and dairy), and we'll match you honestly. Chefs price per dish, and most meals land around $12 to $20 each.
Organic Meal Prep
Taking requestsMeal prep from local chefs who prioritise organic and farm-sourced ingredients. Sourcing varies by chef and by season — some cook fully organic, others prioritise organic for produce and conventional elsewhere — so tell us what matters to you and we'll match accordingly. Chefs price per dish, and most meals land around $12 to $20 each.
Low FODMAP Meal Prep
Taking requestsLow FODMAP meal prep for people managing IBS and related gut symptoms — food without the fermentable carbohydrates that commonly trigger them, which in practice means cooking without onion, garlic, wheat and a long list of quieter culprits. That's hard to eat out and tedious to cook; a chef who understands the list changes that. Chefs price per dish, and most meals land around $12 to $20 each.
Low Sodium Meal Prep
Taking requestsLow sodium meal prep from local chefs, cooked with the salt dialled down rather than served under-seasoned. Chefs build flavour from acid, herbs, aromatics and browning instead, and every dish publishes its full nutrition. Chefs price per dish, and most meals land around $12 to $20 each.
Postpartum Meal Prep
Taking requestsPostpartum meal delivery from local chefs — real cooked food for the weeks when nobody in the house has time to cook. Meals arrive chilled and portioned, reheat in minutes, and chefs cook around whatever you can and can't face right now. Chefs price per dish, and most meals land around $12 to $20 each.
Anti-Inflammatory Meal Prep
Taking requestsAnti-inflammatory meal prep is a cooking style rather than a rulebook: olive oil, oily fish, leafy greens, pulses, nuts and plenty of spice, with refined oils, added sugar and ultra-processed ingredients kept out. Chefs on Prepared cook to that brief each week. Chefs price per dish, and most meals land around $12 to $20 each.
Bariatric Meal Prep
Taking requestsBariatric meal prep means small portions built around protein, in textures that go down comfortably. Chefs on Prepared cook to a portion size you specify, and every dish lists its protein and calories so the numbers are visible before you order.
