Meals for Every Need: Subscription vs One Time vs À La Carte

Healthy food shouldn’t be sacrificed to a busy schedule, and at MealFix, we know that “busy” looks different for everyone. We think everyone should have access to fresh, healthy meals at the time and place they need them, which is why we offer a variety of ordering options to meet those needs. 

If you’ve tried a meal planning service before, you may have struggled to find one that offered convenient delivery dates, the right meal quantities, or food choices for your dietary needs. Below, we’ll break down our weekly subscription versus one-time versus à la carte order options. Keep reading to learn why you can count on MealFix to provide what you need to stay on top of meal prep!  

One-Time Order

Many of us have one or two days every week when our schedule is piled high with work, the gym, chores, appointments, and other obligations. Our One-Time Order option is a great way to take meal prep off the schedule and make those hectic days less stressful. It’s also a great way to try out some of the delicious menu items in our 12-week rotation before you commit! 

Our One-Time Order option lets you select meals from our menu without requiring a subscription. Depending on your schedule, you can place an order for delivery on Sunday or Wednesday. 

The One-Time Order is great for…

  • Supplementary meal prep 
  • An alternative take-out option
  • Emptying the fridge before moving or going on vacation
  • Sampling our menu before committing to a regular subscription

Weekly Subscription

As much as we all want to, not everyone can take time out of their week to do a thorough Sunday meal prep. Whether you need lunches for work or easy dinner options after an hour-long commute in the GTA, our Weekly Subscription is a great way to ensure you don’t go without.  

Every Wednesday, you will receive an email to select your meals for each week from our Breakfast, Lunch/Dinner, and Snack options. On the ordering page, you can choose from our regular or vegetarian menus, and filter your meal plan based on dietary needs and preferences.

Options for your pre-selected meal plan include:

  • Protein Plus
  • Protein Plus + Low Carb
  • Protein Plus + High Carb


Our regular weekly subscribers receive a 7.5% discount on every order they place, which is great for staying within the grocery budget. 

The Weekly Subscription is a great option for…

  • Lunch and breakfast prep for work or school 
  • Dinner prep for individuals with busy after-work routines
  • Reaching nutritional goals with pre-measured portions and macros
  • Enjoying allergen-free meals without the cost of grocery alternatives 

À La Carte

À La Carte offers all the same benefits of the standard Weekly Subscription, but with full freedom over the meals included in your order! You can choose only what you want, based on your dietary needs or whatever you’re craving that week. 

À La Carte is a great option for…

  • Trying new dishes and rediscovering your favourites 
  • Catering to more specified dietary requirements like Keto, gluten-free, low-sugar, and more

One-Time Meal Package

A weekly subscription is great if you’re in town all the time or keep a consistent schedule, but it may not be the most convenient option for those with shifting routines (or maybe you just want your own cooking from time to time). 

If you know you have a week coming up when you could use a personal chef, but you don’t want to commit to a weekly subscription, our Meal Packages are a great alternative! Similar to our One-Time Order option, but catered to specific needs.

Our current packages include:

  • 5 Meal Breakfast Package
  • 5 Meal Package
  • 5 Vegetarian Meal Package
  • 5 Meal Protein Plus Package 
  • 5 Meal Seniors Package
  • 7 Meal Package
  • 7 Meal Vegetarian Package
  • 7 Meal Breakfast Package
  • 7 Meal Protein Plus Package
  • 10 Meal Package
  • 10 Meal Protein Plus Package


Great option for…

  • Meal preparation for seniors and those in assisted living
  • Pre-emptive meal planning for busy periods at work, home, or school 
  • Special catering days for offices and other workplaces
  • Stocking your freezer with extra meals
