How to Save Money on Meal Plans in Dubai
Meal plans in Dubai range from AED 999/month to over AED 3,000/month. If you're budget-conscious, here's how the affordable options actually stack up — and what you're giving up at lower price points.
TheMeal: The cheapest option at AED 37.5/day. At AED 999/month for 2 meals/day, TheMeal is in a league of its own on price. The tradeoff: fixed menus with no customization, twice-weekly delivery (using MAP packaging for freshness), and only a "balanced" diet option. No keto, no vegan, no custom macros. If you just want decent, affordable food delivered without fussing over options, it works. They also accept Tabby installments.
Right Bite's hidden budget options: Right Bite is known as a premium provider, but their Business Lunch (AED 45/day for 1 meal) and Convenience plan (AED 47/day for 2 meals) are surprisingly affordable. Good option if you only need lunch delivered to the office.
FITT Meals' small-portion trick: FITT Meals' 450-kcal tier starts at AED 60/day for 3 meals. If you're doing light eating or intermittent fasting, this keeps costs down while giving you the flexibility of a premium provider (unlimited pauses, meal selection).
Cost comparison with cooking: Is a meal plan worth it vs cooking at home? Grocery costs for one person in Dubai run AED 800–1,500/month depending on diet. Factor in your time (shopping, cooking, cleaning — roughly 1-2 hours/day) and food waste. At AED 999-1,500/month, a budget meal plan is competitive with home cooking for many people.
Money-Saving Tips
- Start weekly: Don't commit to a month upfront. Test with a 1-week plan first
- Watch for promos: Ramadan, New Year, and fitness seasons (January, September) often bring discounts
- Skip weekends: Some providers charge less for weekday-only delivery
- Refer friends: Delicut and ZEROFAT have referral programs with credits
- Fewer meals: If you do IF or eat light breakfasts, a 2-meal plan saves 20-30% vs 3-meal
