 AI reviews summary 

Foober is primarily recognised for its high-quality, flavourful meals that cater effectively to keto and low-carb dietary requirements. While the food itself receives significant praise for its taste and nutritional profile, the service is hampered by frequent reports of administrative and logistical failures. Users are generally divided between those who value the convenience and weight-loss results and those frustrated by a difficult user interface and inconsistent customer support.

Pros
Food Quality and Flavour: Meals are frequently described as fresh, tasty, and superior in flavour compared to other pre-prepared meal services, with specific praise for the keto and low-carb ranges.
Dietary Variety: There is a wide selection of meals catering to specific goals, including high-protein, gluten-free, and diabetic-friendly options that simplify macro tracking.
Effective Weight Loss: Multiple users report successful weight loss and satiety, noting that the calorie-to-protein ratios and portion sizes are well-balanced for their fitness goals.
Convenience and Reliability: For many, the service provides a reliable way to manage busy schedules with punctual deliveries and easy-to-heat packaging.
Cons
Poor Digital Experience: The website and ordering dashboard are frequently described as clunky, confusing, and difficult to navigate, particularly regarding cancelling or skipping subscriptions.
Inconsistent Customer Service: Feedback highlights significant difficulties with support, including long wait times, unhelpful offshore call centres, and a refusal to issue refunds for system errors.
Labelling and Packaging Issues: Recurring complaints mention meals arriving without labels, missing ingredient lists, or having incorrect heating instructions and macro data.
Delivery and Logistic Failures: Some users experienced missing items, incorrect orders, or food arriving at unsafe temperatures due to inadequate insulation or late-night delivery times.
Verdict

Foober is a strong choice for consumers prioritising meal taste and keto-specific nutrition, provided they are comfortable navigating a difficult website. However, potential users should be wary of the subscription management system and inconsistent customer support, which have led to significant billing and delivery frustrations for some.

Compared to other meal deliveries we have tried, the food is tastier, more nutritionally balanced and the portions are good, especially the pumped meals. As someone who suffers from IBS, the meals I've had so far do not trigger it. I do wish they had low carb, low fat and keto selection/filter buttons (like they do for high protein or low cal)… Read more

rather than having to scroll through the whole menu to find those meals. Perhaps even a diabetic friendly section although that may not be part of their target market. There should also be a heat/spice indicator as some meals have been way too hot on the spice scale for us. The reason I didn't give 5 stars is that this is our 3rd week in and we have had an issue each week with either missing items or delivery to the wrong address. However, their email response has been quick and the matter resolved easily so we are happy to continue with the service.

I’ve tried so many different meal companies, and foober so far has the best range, taste and is easy to buy based on dietary requirements (ie gluten free). Delivery is at convenient times and well packaged with ice. Best meal so far are the breakfast omelettes and satay chicken. Show details

EDIT My meals were replaced, which I'm super happy with as the meals are delicious. Super tasty, great textures and good portions. Highly recommend as long as you get meals straight in the fridge on delivery Super disappointed. Ordered $380 meals. They arrived in a flimsy cardboard box, full the the brim with 1 gelbrock in it.

delivered at 8am, we got home at 2.30pm. Unpacked the box, the gelbrick had broken putting gel over everything, food warm, containers bloated and all lost cardboard labels. I have order many meals from other companies, never had a issues with 6.5hr being outside while at work. After contacting office, I was told that I shouldn't have left it outside for over 4 hrs, and 1 icebrick was enough for the order. They will give me $60 credit out of "Good will". Was really excited to try these meals, however, $380 of inedible meals, that wont be happening

My husband and I recently joined Foober. We tried quite a few companies to save time on cooking, and this one is our favourite. We love the variety and options like gluten-free, low calorie, keto etc. We find them tasty, and my husband has already lost 5kg in a few weeks! Highly recommend! Show details

Have enjoyed Foober deliveries for over 7 years at different intervals. I use them to help me eat healthier, lose some extra kgs and as a bonus, it helps keep the grocery bill down. Highly recommend, check out the reviews on each meal and give the menu a try! Show details

First order and only received 9 out of the 10 meals. No nice labels or packaging or instructions like normal pre-done meals, just a sticker on the side. Looks very unpolished. The Web page is clunky and not user friendly. No option to report issues other than an email. Was refunded and future orders were cancelled. Too reminiscent of youfoodz, where orders were wrong in some way every week. Show details

As a certified PT, If i could give this service NO stars i would. Its a scam. Tried it for 1 week and could NOT cancel via their dashboard. meals are said to last 7 to 10 days. ALL meals have a 11 day shelf life. Received 1 meal claiming to be 26g of Protein when it contained 70% capsicum/onion, small amount of rice, and 3 small pieces of beef… Read more

not even the size of a 10c piece. theirs claims i would like to see documentation for. This site is misleading people wanting to go on a real weight loss journey. Any dietitian clearly knows that you should NOT exceed 1% saturated fat to total calorie intake. Their weight loss plan of 1500 cal contained items that exceed this daily intake amount (>15gm). There are NO ingredients listed on the packing which is a breach of the food safety act. Considering that i cancelled my account i will now create a new account to order a set of meals and have them lab tested for their statements made. BEWARE AND BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK. My Muscle Chef far exceeds this company and ive tried them all.

I have been using another fresh meal company for the last 6 months and thought I would try Foober. They have a much bigger range than my previous company, and the meals have been fantastic. Really nice quality and tasty food and a large range that meet my dietary preferences (essentially Keto). They really clearly publish the protein/fat/calorie… Read more

stats to make it easy to choose. Foober is also great value compared to others in the market, and I have done a lot of research!

A couple of small things that keep Foober just less than perfect: - They don't publish the weight of the meal (or at least that I could find). It seems some are like 400g+ and others seem less than 300g. So it's hard to know if the meal will be filling or not. - The optimum microwave heating time seems to be different for different meals, yet the published time on the wrapper is the same for all. So I find for some of the 'wrap' style meals I need to be at the minimum, but some others at the maximum.

I originally just paused my other subscription to try Foober for a week or two, but I have since cancelled the other subscription and Foober will be my default moving forward.

I was on Foober two years ago for a few weeks but couldn't afford it at the time, now I'm on NDIS and am able to get three meals a day, seven days a week, which is great! I'm not interested in their snacks, they seem a bit empty and small portions, I just have Atkin's Shakes once or twice a day (3g carbs). I've been back in the Foober fam for two… Read more

weeks and I've already lost 5kg! Half of that would be water weight but still, feels good.

Almost all of the meals so far have been great, all the roast chicken wings and drumettes are finger lickin' good, and they're the only company I've found that can make decent cauli rice, mash and konjac noodles that don't stink. The sauces are awesome as well and I find it quite filling.

But it ain't all roses. Two meals stick out as particularly bad... The absolute worst was the "Miso Glazed Salmon with Pesto Zoodles"... It was actually poached salmon in miso sauce with shredded zucchini and it was disgusting TBH. Also, the Lamb Ragu on Low Carb Spaghetti, the lamb ragu sauce was great, but the "Low Carb Spaghetti" was actually really thin konjac noodles that weren't soaked in the sauce and the texture was awful. It'd be better with konjac fettucine. Not a fan of the Low Carb Chicken Aioli Burger either, but that's a matter of taste, you either like low carb bread or not.

Honestly, I was really looking forward to that Miso Glazed Salmon and it almost turned me off Foober, but the rest of their meals are just awesome and if they can just fix those meals, it'd be a perfect five.

Ordered their food, was totally stuffed around by their customer service with delivery dates, cutoff dates, even they didn't know what dates were what. Their back office system is a shambles. That was just over a year ago, and despite multiple attempts to get them to stop, they keep spamming my mobile number with text messages. I have asked them… Read more

to delete my account data twice, I have done the whole STOP reply message, nothing works. A shambolic outfit, do not use!

Food was okay. Not too bad for a meal service. We wanted for it to be a fit. However, the customer service and logistics of using Foober meant that we had to go to another meal service. The website was horrible to use, resulting in many billing issues, and contacting customer service to sort it out each time was an ordeal. Foober uses offshore… Read more

Subscription scam. I thought I doing one off order but on the website it isn't clear it's a subscription service. The first order came as a discount and the following week when I noticed another order I didn't make had been placed even though it was a week in advance the customer service team refused to refund and cancel the order when I contacted… Read more

The food is okay. (The only thing stopping this review from being 1-star). Not great but worth about as much as the first order was worth. It is however poorly labelled. I would recommend trying a different service.

I have been using Foober on and off for a while now particularly to curb cravings during winter. Foober is so much better than the other commercial products for taste, flavour and less sodium. Updating the cart can be a bit clunky but otherwise highly recomment. Show details

Meals are good, online ordering system is awful! Twice I've tried to skip my order for the week. Then past the cutoff date I tried to modify it for the following week and it reinstated my order for the week I skipped, even though it was past the cutoff date. Last time I skipped a week because I was away and ended up giving my order to a neighbour… Read more

so it didn't go to waste. Thought I'd give it another try and the same thing happened again, I was charged for next week which I skipped and the following week at the same time. Very deceiving!

Foober has been an amazing and very pleasant surprise! We’ve tried plenty of fresh food delivery services, and Foober hasn’t just matched them — it’s exceeded them in meal quality. The food is fresh, tasty, and incredibly convenient, with flavours that really stand out and get the taste buds tingling. We’ve been genuinely impressed with the quality and variety.

I have been really impressed with the quality of food. Being a very big (170kg) male, trying to lose weight but also not wanting to feel constantly hungry. I was worried that the serving sizes were going to be too small but they have been perfect. I am currently having two foober meals a day and having a protein shake meal replacement every morning and haven’t felt hungry at all. Show details
