Wetaca alternative · Barcelona
Looking for an alternative to Wetaca?
Wetaca is good at what it does — a national catalog of healthy tuppers, cooked once and chilled. HealthyFoodBCN does something different: a real chef cooking a weekly plan around you, fresh twice a week.
Wetaca built its name on a simple promise — healthy meals you reheat, delivered weekly, at supermarket-adjacent prices. It works, and for a lot of people, that's enough. But there's a class of customer Wetaca doesn't really serve: the one who wants their actual plan, not someone else's menu. The athlete dialing in macros. The family with allergies and a picky four-year-old. The expat who wants the food they grew up with. That's where HealthyFoodBCN starts.

Where HealthyFoodBCN wins
- A named, decorated chef cooks every plate — Frank Diaz (ex-Can Roca, Madrid Fusión 2019)
- Plan is built around you specifically — calories, allergies, training load, family preferences — not picked from a list
- Full-day coverage: breakfast, snacks, lunch and dinner. Wetaca focuses on lunch and dinner.
- Cooked fresh and delivered twice a week, not cook-chilled in batches
HealthyFoodBCN is for someone in Barcelona (or the surrounding metro) who wants their meals cooked by a real chef, around their specific goals, allergies, training load and family. We're not the cheapest option per meal. We're the one where every plate is made for you, by Frank, who used to work at El Celler de Can Roca and won Madrid Fusión 2019 for signature sandwich.
The price math
Wetaca's typical 5-day lunch + dinner pack lands at €33–40, about €3.50–4 per meal across 10 meals. HealthyFoodBCN is roughly €20 per eating occasion: about €44/person/day for two meals, about €60/person/day for a full day (breakfast, snack, lunch, dinner). So Wetaca is several times cheaper per plate. The reason for the gap is the model: Wetaca cooks one shared menu in batches and you pick from it, whereas Frank cooks each plan individually around your macros, allergies and dislikes. The honest read: if you just want cheap meals off a rotating list, Wetaca wins on price. If you want a chef cooking your actual plan, that's what the premium buys.
Best-fit recommendation
If you want a tupper service that scales nationally, has a wide weekly menu, and prioritizes price — stay with Wetaca. They're good at it and we're not trying to be them. If you want a real chef cooking around your goals, allergies and family, with breakfast and snacks included — try us. We're a couple of clicks away.
Common questions
Is Wetaca cheaper than HealthyFoodBCN?
Yes, by a wide margin on price. Wetaca runs €4–7/meal; HFB is roughly €20–22/meal because Frank cooks each plan individually rather than batch-cooking one shared menu. They're different products: Wetaca is cheap meals off a list, we're a chef cooking your actual plan. If price per plate is the deciding factor, Wetaca wins.
Can I get personalization with Wetaca?
You can filter the catalog by dietary tag (vegetarian, gluten-free, keto, etc.), but the meals themselves aren't built around you — they're cooked in batches for everyone subscribing that week. HealthyFoodBCN cooks each plan individually based on your goals, allergies, training load, and family.
Does Wetaca cook fresh?
Wetaca uses a cook-and-chill model — meals are cooked in their central kitchen, vacuum-sealed, and shipped chilled. They're fine, but they've sat for days. HealthyFoodBCN cooks the day before each delivery, two deliveries a week.
