Lunch and dinner for your week, cooked in Madrid with the amounts in your plan. You choose the dishes, each one is weighed out with your grams of protein, carbs and fat, and they arrive chilled at your door. It is not an à la carte delivery: you order once a week and it arrives in two deliveries.

In 3 steps: (1) Use our free calculator to work out your macros, or enter the kcal or grams from your own plan if you already have one. (2) Choose your dishes from the menu. (3) We bring them to you chilled, in two deliveries a week. Just heat for about 3 minutes and eat.

That the same dish doesn't carry the same amounts for everyone.

No S/M/L sizes. As in any kitchen, the figures have a small margin.
