Why It Works

Why Our Ready-Made Meals Work

We portion it to your goal.

The Hard Part

Knowing What To Eat Is Easy. Having It Ready Isn't.

Most of us know what to eat. The hard part is a busy night, an empty fridge and portions that are a guess.

  1. 01

    No Time To Cook → We Cook It.

    Every meal is cooked in our Port Elizabeth kitchen.

  2. 02

    Portions Are A Guess → We Weigh It.

    Each meal is plated to a chart that sets the grams of every part.

  3. 03

    Nothing Ready When You're Hungry → It's In Your Freezer.

    Meals keep 6 months frozen.

Client Testimony

“The convenience of Lean Living makes it so much easier to stick to a meal plan.”

01

Our Kitchen

Cooked In Our Own Kitchen, In Port Elizabeth

Every meal is cooked there, in professional combi ovens.

Our RATIONAL iCombi Pro ovens cook with steam, dry heat or both.

We cook in batches, so the method has to be the same every time.

Then each meal is portioned by hand to the weight on its sleeve.

Combi steam ovens in Lean Living's kitchen
33%

In one study, boiling broccoli cut its vitamin C by 33%. Steaming caused no significant loss.

02

How We Cook

Steamed, Not Boiled.

Vitamin C and several B vitamins dissolve in water, so boiling washes some of them out.

That's why we steam our vegetables instead of boiling them.

Steaming keeps more, not everything; it depends on the vegetable and the cooking time.

We haven't lab-tested our meals for vitamins, so we don't make vitamin claims about them.

Vegetables

Steamed in the combi oven.

Mince And Curries

Cooked in their sauce, because the sauce is part of the meal.

Portions

One Recipe, Four Portion Sizes

Our weight loss and lean muscle packs use the same recipes. What changes is the portion size.

Each meal is plated to a chart that sets the grams of the protein, the starch and the vegetables.

The aim is simple: the last meal of a batch should match the first.

Single meals and the build-your-own box use the 300 g size.

The Sleeve

The Numbers Are On The Sleeve

The front of the sleeve shows the calories, protein, carbs and fat for that meal.

On our goal meals, the table adds kJ, fibre and sodium, with the ingredients and heating steps.

The figures are per meal, so one tray is one serving.

For example, Lean Mince, Pasta Shells & Corn (300 g) is 479 kcal, with 40 g protein, 51 g carbs and 14 g fat.

To heat it, thaw it first, then follow the instructions on the sleeve.

1 · Protein

40 g protein per meal.

2 · Carbs

51 g carbs per meal.

3 · Fat

14 g fat per meal.

4 · Calories

479 kcal per meal.

How We Pack

Sealed Tight, Then Frozen.

The Film

A clear film is heated and drawn tight over each meal and tray, pushing the air out.

Less Air

Less air touching the food means less risk of freezer burn: those dry, leathery spots.

Less Oxygen

Very little oxygen is left against the food, which slows stale flavours and dull colours.

Juices Stay With The Food

The film hugs the food, so juices stay with it instead of pooling in the tray.

Held In Place

The film holds your meal firmly in place, so it doesn't slide around in transit.

The Tray

Trays are polypropylene (PP, code 5), a plastic permitted for food contact in the US and EU. PP isn't made with BPA.

Why Frozen?

We seal with vacuum skin packing only, with no gas.

Skin packing protects quality. Freezing keeps the meal safe, so keep it frozen until you thaw it.

Meals keep 6 months in the freezer, so you take out one at a time.

Thaw in the fridge, then heat it in its tray in the microwave. The trays aren't for the oven or air fryer.
