With a new changing menu every week and various diet plans to suit your specific requirements, you can have your favorite food and still manage become the best version of yourself.ÂÂÂ
What is FitMeals all about?
This startup is a low calorie gourmet meal delivery service that caters food specifically to your calorie/nutritional needs. They cater meals for weight loss/weight gain/ sustenance/ Diabetic/ thyroid etc. All the meals are well planned in terms of nutrition. 4 meal plans have been created to simplify the concept to the consumer ,Basic Diet Plan (for weight loss and sustenance), Athletic Meal Plan (For weight/muscle gain), keto (for no carbs) and Balanced (For people just looking to eat Healthy).Various other plans can be customized as required by the client.ÂÂÂ
How did the idea generate?
While studying in England the struggle to prepare and eat healthy was immense and the horrors of staying alone and eating clean in a new city certainly wasn’t an easy task. The problem was hence identified and as part of the solution, FitMeals was founded by 4 individuals with the same problem – Amandeep Rayaguru, ApoorvaÂÂÂ
The main agenda revolved towards helping working professionals prevent or control lifestyle disorders by delivering requirement-tailored meals for different health needs at their doorsteps. Eight months of research has been put in to collect the recipes/create a business plan and execute it, to add credibility the founder pursued a Diploma in sports and personal Nutrition. With a bit of research, it was found that four out of 10 people in India are obese, while close to 70 per cent are overweight. 20% of children are obese, Over 26 per cent of the city’s population is diabetic while three in every four residents here suffer the risk of a heart disease. And this all can be attributed to poor lifestyles especially unhealthy eating habits.
The team then, started talking to a few doctors and reputed dieticians in the area and realized that there is a gap in demand and supply of expert-recommended meals. With the help of doctors and certified dieticians, they chalked out nutrition plans in a ready-to-consume format. The logic behind planned meal packages is using nutrition science to control and balance the nutrient intake for different health requirements.
