About these kitchens

Chefs on Prepared cook in independent home and commercial kitchens, not certified allergen-controlled facilities, so shared equipment and cross-contact are real possibilities. We won't tell you a dish is safe for a serious allergy or coeliac disease. If you have an allergy, an intolerance or another medical restriction, say so in your request and a person will confirm with the chef what they can and can't commit to before you order anything.

By sending this you agree we can text you about your request. We don't sell your number or use it for marketing, and you can reply STOP any time.

  • We follow up by text, usually within a day
  • No subscription or commitment

How high protein meal prep works

  1. Pick a local chef

    Every chef here cooks to order and lists calories, protein, carbs and fat on every dish.

  2. Tell them how you eat

    Ask for high protein and add notes like no rice or sauce on the side. Allergies go to the chef before anything is cooked.

  3. Delivered fresh

    Meals arrive chilled each week, ready for the week ahead.

What to know about high protein meal prep

  • Chefs cooking to a high protein brief target 25g or more per meal, and the exact figure is printed on every dish.
  • Protein portions can be scaled up on request if you tell the chef before their weekly cutoff.
  • Meals arrive chilled and freshly cooked each week, not frozen in bulk months earlier.
  • Menus rotate between different proteins and cuisines, so hitting a daily target doesn't mean eating the same thing five times.

High protein meal prep is a week of food arranged so that protein is the one thing you never have to think about. Chefs on Prepared build the plate around it (chicken thigh and breast, steak, ground turkey, salmon, shrimp, eggs, tofu) rather than treating it as a garnish next to rice.

A typical order is five to ten individually portioned containers, cooked a day or two before delivery by an independent chef in your area and delivered chilled, not frozen and shipped from a warehouse. Menus rotate week to week with what each chef cooks well and what's good that week, which is what keeps a high protein routine survivable past the first fortnight.

Every dish publishes protein, carbs, fat and calories, so getting to 150g or 200g a day is arithmetic instead of guesswork. If the standard portion falls short, say so before the chef's weekly cutoff. Most will scale the protein on your order rather than have you buy a second meal to top up.

High Protein Meal Prep: How to Hit Your Target

High Protein meal prep in Garden Grove: common questions

How much protein is in each meal?

Chefs building high protein menus target 25g or more per meal, and the exact macros are listed on every dish so you can check before ordering.

Can I ask for bigger portions?

Yes. Message the chef through Prepared before the weekly cutoff and most will scale protein portions for you.

Do I have to eat chicken every day?

No. Chefs rotate between chicken, beef, pork, salmon, shrimp, eggs and plant proteins like tofu and lentils, so a high protein week doesn't collapse into the same bowl five times.

Can chefs handle allergies?

Sometimes, and it's a per-chef answer rather than a platform one. Chefs cook in independent home and commercial kitchens, not certified allergen-controlled facilities, so shared equipment and cross-contact are real possibilities and we won't tell you a dish is safe for a serious allergy or coeliac disease. Put the allergy, intolerance or ingredient you avoid in the request form above and a person will confirm with the chef what they can and can't commit to before you order.

How much does it cost?

Each chef sets their own prices and publishes them per dish, so you can see what a week costs before you commit to anything. Most single-serving meals land somewhere around $12 to $20 depending on the chef, the protein and the portion size, and there's no membership or subscription fee on top. You pay for the meals you order.

How does ordering actually work?

You pick a chef, choose meals from the menu they publish for that week, and order before their cutoff. They cook a day or two before delivery and bring it to you chilled, not frozen. Ordering and payment happen on the chef's own page on eatprepared.com. This site is where you find the right chef and tell us what you need.

When do meals arrive, and are they frozen?

Each chef cooks and delivers on their own weekly schedule. Most deliver Sundays, some Mondays, and each chef's day is listed on their card above. Meals arrive chilled and freshly cooked, ready to reheat, rather than frozen in bulk and shipped from a warehouse.

What if no chef has published the menu I want?

Ask anyway. Chefs cook every week to order, so a diet nobody has put on a menu is still one you can request. Tell us what you need in the form above and we confirm directly with a chef what they can cook before you commit to anything. That request is also how a diet ends up on menus here in the first place.

Is there a subscription or minimum?

There's no membership or subscription fee. You pay for the meals you order. Individual chefs may set their own order minimums, which you'll see on their page before you check out.

Can I change or cancel an order?

Up to that chef's weekly cutoff, yes. Message them through Prepared and they'll adjust it. After the cutoff they've usually already shopped and started prepping, so changes get harder.
