As a health conscious brand you’d think they would steer clear of artificial colours and flavour enhancers. I had wrongfully assumed after checking over a couple meals ingredient lists thoroughly that all would be similar and as the ones I checked were good I ordered while only skimming over the others. Once in my hands I realised some of the… Read more

items I had use petroleum based & AZO dyes, as well as, flavour enhancers such as MSG. I think for transparency and brand image the items that are free of such things should be noted as such so that customers with a more restrictive diet can clearly see what to buy vs what to avoid. Overall disappointed in Australias leading gym/health ready meal company.

Just bought another My Muscle Shelf meal from Woolworths. This is my second meal, I bought their spaghetti Bolognaise which was sub par at best. I tried again and bought My Muscle Chef Beef Mussaman Curry. A total and utter waste of money the beef was absolutely disgusting. Filled with that spongy non-meat meat, like cartilage. So unappetising and… Read more

the most cheapest meat cuts. I was so surprised by how poorly this meal was arranged. So tired of companies offering quality meals and making you pay for it and they deliver a sub-standard product. after the first meal I bought from My Muscle Chef spaghetti Bolognaise which was 80% sauce and very poor quality mince I gave them another go and got a curry that was more gristle than good meat. Usual story with companies until some number cruncher gets involved and says, “Hey we can make more money if we buy poor quality meats…” start well then fall for profit over product. Disgusting meal. Sad really because they have a great marketing. Advantage but throw it away due to greed for profit over product. Will never buy another My Muscle Chef meal again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve tried a lot of meal prep services over the years, and My Muscle Chef is hands down one of the best. The quality is consistently excellent — real ingredients, proper portion sizes, and meals that actually taste like food (not bland “diet” trays). The protein content is solid, the macros are clearly labelled, and the variety makes… Read more ·  1

it easy to stay on track without getting bored.

From a performance and recovery perspective, it’s incredibly convenient. Whether you’re training hard, trying to lean down, or just want structured nutrition without the prep time, this takes the friction out of eating well.

Delivery has always been reliable, packaging is clean and practical, and the menu range covers everything from high-protein staples to comfort-style options that still fit your goals.

If you value convenience, macro accuracy, and quality ingredients — My Muscle Chef delivers. Highly recommended.

Not sure what happened? – Update: The next Lamb Shanks I got was back to excellent. The beef brisket is also very good. I feel like maybe their meat supplier changed for a very short period and is back to solid, so I've moved this from 3 to 4 stars. Original: The last couple of months I've had one Lamb Shanks with my order and it was incredible. Now, I changed my order… Read more ·  1

to 3 lamb shanks for this week. The first one I opened looks completely different to usual and the meat itself seems like it's been minced into a slop - it used to be distinguishable meat pieces. The taste is significantly worse too!

I've noticed a similar decline in quality with the spaghetti bolognese, although that's fixed by just throwing cheese at it. The rest taste about the same, but the loss of quality over the past few months is a worrying trend.

Otherwise, it's okay.

Muscle chef meals are tasty, convenient, easy to get, and have helped me hit some personal fitness goals. Im turning 40 next year. I do 2 muscle chef meals a day over a 5 day routine, (10 meals a week). I also sometimes order the protein balls or bars, as an extra treat some weeks. (PLEASE KEEP IN MIND ITS A BALANCE OF GOOD FOOD AND TRAINING) … Read more ·  1

My calorie intake I limit to 1800-2000 daily, which these meals are perfect for keeping track. To keep fit I do 5x 1hr strength training gym sessions, with 3-5 F45 sessions weekly.

I wanted to add some lean muscle, become more toned, and keep my macros in check. After time on the meals, I’ve maintained a healthy 88-90kg weight, have been given multiple compliments on “great I’m looking” and feel so much better inside and out.

I do still very much enjoy cheat meals of a schnitty at pub trivia, plus pizzas, drinks and sweets, as life is for living and I’m good all weekdays.

I feel the muscle chef meals nourish me throughout the week and they fill me up. You know all the protein, fats and carbs for each meal as it’s all on the containers. EASY AS!! Vodka chicken penne, marry me chicken & Thai green curry are my favs.

Point is, these meals keep my weight and goals in check, with a huge variety to Choose from online, it’s very easy to order at your fingertips, cheaper to get direct online than buying in stores, and gives you more time to do the things you want - as each meal only takes 2 minutes in the microwave. I couldn’t recommend muscle chef more.

What are you waiting for! =)

Super happy – Im a qualified nutritionist and I’m super impressed with everything from their delivery, freshness, quality of unprocessed ingredients (huge for me) and of course the price. No other company compares. I could make my own food but at this price and convenience, honestly - I won’t be. Show details

5 Star Chicken & Vegetable Soup! – This is the deliciously cozy warm-hearted soup you will ever crave any day you need a warm hug !!! Delicious with chunky chicken and vegetables. The soup is just the right consistency- not runny and not too thick. Just right! Best to put in bowl and heat 3 mins on high (I used a 1000W inverter microwave). Enjoy!!! (I’ve given negative reviews about MyMC because people need to know. But THIS Soup? People need to know this is 5-Stars!!!) Show details ·  1

We have been experiencing our boxes being delivered OPENED and unsealed. The courier would send the picture text of our food being delivered and the box is not even taped closed. This has happened 3 times now. The customer service via email are responsive but its kind of ridiculous that this so called 'isolated incident' seems to be an ongoing… Read more

one. Also After my first initial contact with support team, we stopped getting notifications all together about our deliveries and so I had no idea when they would be dropped off. It feels as though we have been black listed or punished for letting them know our experience.

Unfortunately because of this we may need to consider other food options if this continues.

Unfortunately these meals were a huge disappointment for me. I ordered multiple meals and ended up throwing most of them out because I genuinely could not eat them. The texture was watery, mushy and very unappetising, and several meals looked nothing like the promotional photos. I understand these are marketed as convenient high-protein meals,… Read more

but the quality and flavour did not justify the price in my opinion.

Really disappointing experience overall, especially given how highly recommended the brand is online.

I have eaten Muscle Chef meals for a few months as they were a great way to keep on top of macros. However, recently, I found a bone in my Pesto chicken, and after crunching down and nearly chipping a tooth, it was then lodged into my gum with bleeding.(3cm in size) After reading some of the other reviews and getting an understanding of the… Read more

company's screening process, I am honestly so disappointed and unsure as to what I am even putting in or what I've potentially eaten prior, as some mention they've had stuff lodged in their throats. I have been offered a discount on my next order, this is not a fix. I would suggest people read some reviews before buying this product.

was delivered at 8:31 as per my ring doorbell camera. I was home and before I could speak with [Name Removed] Delivery guy he quickly drove off. The food was defeosted. What a waste of money. All food has gone into bin as you cannot refreeze frozen products that have defrosted. As per photo attached delivery was out as of Mon 16th at 9:26 pm.Tried calling MMC what a joke . I will be cancelling my subscription. Such a shame as my husband liked their food, so tasty, wholesome and nutrional. Happy for MMC to call me.

I have tried many ready made healthy and fitness orientated meals both fresh and frozen. My Muscle Chef's meals are superior to the rest, flavour clean and I am loving the PRO series. Their delivery's are on point too. Show details ·  1

I have bought a few meals from this company and thought they were good for a ready meal, although a little on the pricey side. I headed into my local supermarket last week to buy one, the green chicken curry. I heated it up last night and it tasted… Read more

rank, the chicken especially. I checked the expiry date, it was the 3rd of ‘something’ either this or last month (Aug/Sep). I spent the whole evening stressed, unable to do anything. Worse still I am going on holiday today so a bout of food poisoning was not on the cards. I only ate a quarter of it. Fortunately I was not ill, however the expiry dates are appalling font. I still don’t know it was 8 days past expiry. This is extremely dangerous and could put a vulnerable person in hospital, or worse! To summarise I bought a meal that: Tasted like bad quality/expired chicken Had an expiry date (for ‘fresh’ chicken nearly FOUR weeks into the future (if 03/09), or Was expired (03/08)but hard to tell Had an expiry year of 2025 (or 2029) Suggestions: Change the font and save a lot of confusion/sickness Don’t use whatever it is preservative-wise that enables chicken to stay ‘fresh’ for four weeks

 Follow-up  · Avoiding sickness: I tried being sick, that didn't work. Mainly I just prayed that the small amount I did eat would be ok and that these meals have a 4 week expiry so are therefore pumped full of toxic preservatives anyway so that might see me through the few days over. Improvements/font: clear and concise expiry dates. That is the most confusing… Read more

Absolutely revolting experience tonight. I heated up one of your meals, opened the microwave, and was met with the sight of a fly sitting outside the packaging, clearly having come through a gap in the seal. This isn’t speculation - our home is kept meticulously clean (my partner has OCD and a strong fear of bugs), so there’s zero chance this came… Read more

from our environment. It came from your product.

The thought that I could have eaten this is beyond disgusting. To make it worse, you can actually see parts of the fly lying amongst the food, including a detached leg and wing, that was cooked along with the meal. It’s stomach-turning and completely unacceptable by any standard of food safety.

And this isn’t even an isolated incident. I’ve previously had two separate meals from you where I bit down on small rocks. Not one - two. Your response at the time? A refund for a single meal. That should have been my warning sign, because clearly nothing has improved.

This latest incident has genuinely put me off eating altogether tonight. It’s not just disappointing - it’s alarming. Your quality control appears nonexistent, and based on your pattern of responses to other negative reviews, you seem far more interested in issuing hollow apologies than actually fixing the problem.

At this point, I have absolutely no confidence in the safety or integrity of your food. Disgusting.

The menu offered by My Muscle Chef, inclusive of meals and snacks etc is both innovative and outstanding. In elaborating further, not only does any specific item hold a high nutritional value to complement individual goals but the taste is absolutely impeccable. Given this, my diet consists of one of their products literally on a daily basis… Read more ·  2

which also has significantly assisted with the maintenance of my goals.

The protein cookies, specifically the salted caramel and macadamia flavour are amazing where I have one of these everyday. In conjunction, I regularly have their meals which are very accessible through retailers and also online. From the combination of both these items in my diet, I feel fulfilled and satisfied that I am on track with my continued recovery from profound medical difficulties I am experiencing. On top of this, the convenience of having these available is invaluable, especially for those with time constraints or disabilities of concern.

Please, if you’re contemplating trying the products offered by My Muscle Chef, do not hesitate to pursue this. I assure that you will certainly not be disappointed with the quality of the food and also the service provided by their customer service team if ordering online where you have a larger selection of items to choose from. One last note, my favourite meal representing the beef lasagne on their menu is delicious which far outweighs anything similar bought elsewhere. This only reinforces that the ingredients and recipes used by the chefs at My Muscle Chef are beyond outstanding.

To the people complaining about the portion sizes, these aren't standard rubbish full fat full sodium easy meals like the frozen section of the supermarket sells.

servings of cr#p food, and lose / maintain weight, unless you are an NFL player at least lol.

Moving on, we just got our first delivery of MMC delivered this morning (first time customers). We were so excited for our delivery, and it didn't disappoint. We aren't obese or needing to lose weight, but wanting to cut down on cooking EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. My partner and i both work physically and mentally draining jobs, and we are getting sick of coming home and having to prep and cook every night.

We don't have or want kids, so this works well for us. Had one of the meals for lunch today, it was delicious! We purposely chose all high protein meals (fuller, longer, no snacking).

Plus you get a very generous discount on your first 3 online orders. And yes, it IS cheaper to order online directly (Woolies are about $1.10 per meal more expensive). So your first 3 orders work out REALLY cheap. And delivered to your front door, chilled (fridge vans, and insulated boxes with ice bricks inside).

Their delivery and tracking system is also very good! We compared MMC to many other ready meal services, and they came out on top for us (didn't want pre frozen meals, they get too watery when you reheat them).

Winner winner high protein lunch and dinner! Thanks MMC team, we are excited to place our next order, next week!

I really wanted to like MMC. The reviews all seemed good. The pictures looked great, and the descriptions sounded delicious. Unfortunately, it was all a lie. My wife and I both have our own businesses, and at the end of the day, the last thing we want to think about is getting food on the table. We decided to alternate MMC with the other meal… Read more

delivery service we use ( and love), and we have never been so disappointed. The meals (I struggle to even call them food) were ridiculously small, flavourless, almost vegetable-free and looked and smelt awful. We ordered over 20 meals for the two of us for the week, and I ended up giving a good chunk of them away to family members who, for some reason I will never understand, choose to eat this slop. We will never order from MMC again, and I would recommend that anyone looking to eat food, not pig swill, avoid them at all costs.

Absolutely ridiculous customer service! I accidentally ordered the wrong protein bars and noticed the mistake IMMEDIATELY after checkout. Since it was outside support hours, I emailed them literally within 2–3 minutes of placing the order. Then somehow, they replied saying the order had already been “processed and dispatched.” Seriously? Within… Read more

minutes? Sounds like a complete excuse just so they don’t have to help customers. There’s also NO option anywhere to edit or cancel an order yourself, which makes the whole system even worse.

So basically, once they’ve taken your money, you’re stuck with it whether it was a genuine mistake or not. Extremely frustrating experience and terrible customer support. I definitely won’t be ordering from them again, and I’ll be telling my friends and colleagues not to bother either!

Do love MC meals but they need more Veggie and Vegan options. The same 5 meals gets boring and often why I stop my orders. Bring back the Satay tofu, because that by far was your best veggie option. Lose 1 stars purely for lack of options. Show details ·  1

I ordered 16 meals from My Muscle Chef on 31 March and selected Saturday, 4 April as the delivery date. However, the meals were delivered earlier than scheduled—at 11:46pm on Friday, 3 April. As a result, the box was left outside my door overnight. By the next morning, when I opened it, all the frozen meals had defrosted. This reflects very poor delivery and packaging service. Show details

Meals are yummy and filling. The only problem for my family and me is that we order on a fortnightly cycle, and some meals are duplicated. However, the duplicated meals all have the same expiry date which makes it difficult to spread them across the two weeks and add Varity. Show details ·  1
