MenuDiet alternative · Barcelona
Looking for an alternative to MenuDiet?
MenuDiet is dietitian-led national meal subscription with a companion app — solid if you want clinical-style oversight. HealthyFoodBCN is a real private chef cooking your weekly plan in Barcelona, with our nutritionist available on request.
MenuDiet has done a real thing — paired weekly meal subscription with dietitian oversight and a tracking app. For someone who wants the discipline of a clinically-designed plan with software to keep them honest, that's a credible offer. HealthyFoodBCN works differently: a chef leads, a nutritionist supports when needed, and the food itself is the differentiator rather than the surrounding software.

HealthyFoodBCN is for someone in Barcelona who'd rather have a chef than software in the loop. Frank designs the food. If you want our nutritionist to set your macros and weekly structure first, that's available — tick the box on the form. The rest of the experience is chef-cooked, fresh, delivered twice a week.
The price math
MenuDiet's typical week runs around €59, about €11–12/day for ~5 meals/day depending on the plan. HealthyFoodBCN's full day runs about €60/day, roughly €20 per plate, so several times MenuDiet on absolute price. The premium buys a chef cooking your plan individually around your macros, allergies and dislikes rather than a kitchen executing one shared dietitian's spec, fresh-cooked rather than vacuum-packed, delivered twice a week in Barcelona. The honest read: if you want a structured menu at the lowest price, MenuDiet wins; if you want a chef cooking your actual plan, that's what you're paying for.
Best-fit recommendation
If dietitian-led structure with app tracking is what you want: stick with MenuDiet. If you want a real chef in Barcelona cooking around you, with a nutritionist available when you specifically need one: try us.
Common questions
Do you have a dietitian like MenuDiet?
We work with a nutritionist. She's not on every plan by default — most clients are fine with Frank designing the macros himself. If you want her to lead the nutritional design (specific macro targets, medical considerations, body recomposition protocols), tick the box on the form and we loop her in.
Do you have a tracking app?
No. We're a chef and a kitchen, not a software company. We share calorie and macro breakdowns per meal so you can log them in MyFitnessPal or whatever you already use. If app-based tracking is core to how you operate, MenuDiet's tooling is more developed.
MenuDiet ships nationally — do you?
No. Barcelona city and the surrounding metro only. Our model depends on Frank cooking the day before delivery, so coverage is geographic. If you're outside the area, MenuDiet is the practical choice.
