I've been seeing the Nutrition Kitchen Singapore add pop up in in Instagram a few times and the marketing got to me: neatly packed meals, macro counts, and promises of healthy eating without the hassle.
Between work, content creation, and daily life, cooking every single meal just isn’t realistic for me. I wanted something that could save time, reduce decision fatigue, and still help me eat better. So I decided to give Nutrition Kitchen a try starting with their Low Carb plan for 20 days.
This post is an introduction and overview of the service: what Nutrition Kitchen offers, how it compares to meal prepping and food delivery apps like GrabFood or Foodpanda, and who it’s actually best for. I’ll be sharing a more detailed review once my 20‑day trial is complete.
What Is Nutrition Kitchen Singapore?
Nutrition Kitchen is a Singapore‑based healthy meal delivery service that provides fully cooked, ready‑to‑eat meals delivered straight to your doorstep on weekdays.The idea is simple: instead of planning meals, grocery shopping, cooking, and cleaning up, you choose your meals online and just heat them up when it’s time to eat.
Meals are designed to be:
- Nutritionally balanced
- Portion‑controlled
- Clearly labelled with macros
- Convenient for busy schedules
Nutrition Kitchen Meal Plans Explained
Nutrition Kitchen offers several meal plans depending on your dietary goals and lifestyle. Each plan allows you to customise meal size and number of meals per day.
Low Carb Plan
This is the plan I’m currently on. It cost S$598 for the 20 day plan. I forgot to use the first time promo, otherwise I could have saved S$18. So if you do sign up for the first time, don't forget to take advantage of this discount.- Reduced carbohydrates
- Higher protein and healthy fats
- Designed for weight management and satiety
Meals typically skip rice and pasta in favour of vegetables, proteins, and flavourful sauces. If you’re trying to cut carbs without eating boring food, this plan is clearly designed with that in mind.
Balanced Plan
- Moderate carbs, protein, and fats
- Suitable for active lifestyles or general health maintenance
- Often chosen by gym‑goers or those who want structure without restriction
Vegetarian Plan
- Plant‑based meals
- Focus on variety and nutrient density
- Suitable for those avoiding meat but still wanting convenience
Flexitarian Plan
- A mix of lean proteins and vegetables
- Less restrictive than low carb
- Ideal if you want flexibility without tracking every macro
What’s on the Menu?
One thing I appreciate is that Nutrition Kitchen doesn’t limit itself to just one cuisine. The menu rotates and includes Asian‑inspired and Western‑style dishes, which helps prevent food fatigue. |

You’ll find meals like:
Each meal comes with nutritional information, so you know exactly what you’re eating; something you don’t get from most takeaway meals.
Meals arrive chilled and only need a few minutes in the microwave, making them genuinely practical for workdays.
- Grilled proteins with vegetables
- Asian favourites adapted for healthier macros
- Comfort‑style dishes without the usual heaviness

Nutrition Kitchen vs Meal Prepping at Home
Meal prepping is often seen as the most cost‑effective way to eat healthy, but it comes with trade‑offs.Meal Prepping Pros
- Lowest cost per meal
- Full control over ingredients
- Customisable to personal taste
Meal Prepping Cons
- Time‑consuming (planning, shopping, cooking)
- Repetitive meals
- Requires discipline and consistency
Nutrition Kitchen vs Meal Prep
- Higher cost, but you’re paying for convenience and time saved
- Nutritionally balanced without needing to calculate macros
- Much easier to stay consistent
If you genuinely enjoy cooking and have the time, meal prep wins on cost. But if time and energy are limited, Nutrition Kitchen removes many barriers.
Nutrition Kitchen vs GrabFood / Foodpanda
Food delivery apps are often the default option when we’re busy, but they aren’t always the healthiest or most cost‑effective long term.GrabFood / Foodpanda Pros
- Huge variety
- Instant gratification
- Often cheaper per individual meal
GrabFood / Foodpanda Cons
- Nutrition information usually missing
- Portions and calories can be inconsistent
- Healthier options tend to cost more
Nutrition Kitchen vs Food Delivery Apps
- More predictable nutrition and portion control
- Better for structured eating habits
- Less impulse ordering
While a single food delivery meal may seem cheaper, frequent ordering (especially of healthier options) can quickly add up both in cost and calories.
Cost vs Nutritional Value: A Realistic Comparison
Why I Chose Nutrition Kitchen
- I decided to try Nutrition Kitchen because:
- I wanted to stop overthinking meals
- I needed something realistic for weekdays
- I wanted better nutrition without cooking daily
The fact that it appeared on my Instagram feed initially caught my attention, but the structure and clarity of the plans convinced me to try it seriously.
As mentioned at the beginning of this post, I’m currently on the Low Carb plan for 20 days, and I’ll be sharing a deeper breakdown soon which includes taste, variety, how filling the meals are, and whether I’d continue long‑term.
Final Thoughts: Which Option Is Best?
- If your priority is lowest cost: Meal prepping wins, if you have the time and discipline.
- If you want flexibility and instant variety: GrabFood or Foodpanda works, but nutrition can be inconsistent.
- If you want convenience with structured nutrition: Nutrition Kitchen strikes the best balance.
For anyone juggling work, content creation, or a busy lifestyle, Nutrition Kitchen offers a practical middle ground between cooking everything yourself and relying on takeaway or meal prepping all the time.
I’ll be back with a full 20‑day experience update soon, including whether it’s worth continuing beyond this trial.
