Do you cater for my dietary requirement?
At Simply Calicious, we understand the importance of catering to different dietary needs, and we strive to provide a variety of meal options to meet those needs. Here are the current options we have available for specific dietary requirements -
Gluten-Free Meals
We offer meals on our weekly menu that do not contain wheat, rye, barley, or oats, labelled under the 'No Bread or Pasta' preference. However, our current selection is limited and might not provide an enjoyable plan for everyone. While these meals are suitable for customers with dietary restrictions or those looking to reduce their gluten intake, we cannot guarantee that they are completely gluten-free due to the risk of cross-contamination in grain farming and production facilities. -
Paleo, Vegan, and Keto Meals
At this time, we do not have specific meal plans available for customers following paleo, vegan, or keto diets. However, our customers can select meals each week that align with their dietary needs. We also find that with a little tweaking, our meals can be enjoyed by customers following these diets. -
Halal Meals
Some of our meat suppliers are certified Halal, while others are not. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee a meal plan that is suitable for those following a Halal diet at this time. -
Vegetarian Meals
Currently, we do not have a vegetarian menu. However, we are working on providing vegetarian options in the near future.Please keep an eye on our menu, or if you would like to be notified when we have more options available, please email us at info@simplycalicious.com.au. -

Managing Calorie & Weight Goals
-
How do I know what Target Daily Calorie Intake I need?
The best way to ensure you have the most accurate information is to find a calorie intake quiz online. This will help you determine your specific dietary needs based on your personal health and fitness goals. -
How long do I need to use Simply Calicious to achieve my weight goal?
It depends on your weight loss goals. Typically, losing 0.5kg per week is a safe and sustainable rate. This means it could take anywhere from 4 weeks to lose a few kilograms to 20+ weeks to lose a significant amount of weight (more than 10kg).
Simply Calicious helps you develop healthy eating habits that you can maintain even after reaching your goal weight. The program offers personalised plans with different weight loss rates and a 4-week maintenance phase helps you adjust to your new calorie intake for long-term success. -
Do I need to start exercising to achieve my weight goal?
Regular exercise is a powerful tool for weight loss because it helps you burn more calories. Combining exercise with a healthy diet creates a calorie deficit for more effective weight loss.
Even small activity increases, like taking the stairs or parking further away, can make a difference. If you have any concerns about exercising, talk to your doctor about a safe exercise plan and a calorie-controlled diet tailored to your needs. In most cases, managing your food and drink consumption can help you reach your weight goals, but a doctor can guide you for the best approach. -
Do I need a dietician & personal trainer?
A registered dietician can create a personalised meal plan to support your weight loss goals. They can help you develop a calorie-controlled plan that fits your preferences. A certified personal trainer can design a safe and effective exercise program to maximise your calorie burn. These professionals can be valuable resources, but they may not be necessary for everyone. We offer resources and tools within Simply Calicious to help you get started. If you'd like more personalised guidance, consider consulting a dietician or personal trainer.
