No hidden ingredients

When you make a meal from scratch, you know exactly what’s gone into it, so there are no surprises with unexpected sugars, sodium, saturated fat or additives. It’s also easier to keep track of your calorie intake if you have goals to reach.

Encourages togetherness

There’s a reason our parents insisted on having family dinners around the table, and it’s even more important today with all the electronic distractions we have vying for our attention. Preparing a meal is a great way to spend time with the kids too – young kids love to be involved, and it might just help instil a love of cooking in them.

It’s a stress reliever

Yes, believe it or not, working with your hands and letting your mind wander is pretty therapeutic, and can do wonders for decompressing after a long day. Meal kits are perfect for this – with less prep time, your evening schedule won’t feel so pressured, leaving you free to actually enjoy the process.

Pick your portions

When a big plate of restaurant or takeaway food gets put in front of you, it’s hard to resist eating every last bit even if you know you’ll regret it later. Fitfood’s meal kits are pre-portioned, so you know how much food is right for you.

Train your taste buds

When you eat lots of foods high in salt, fat and sugar, you start to crave that kind of food. Your taste buds become accustomed to these higher levels, which makes lighter meals taste bland. Luckily, you can train your taste to go in the opposite direction too, and soon overly salted or sugary foods will be harder to tolerate – and easier to resist!
