# Vitality Boosting Cuisine Essential Meal Delivery Will Get You in Shape By John Ibbitson | Published 2011-11-13 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/essential-meal-delivery References: [essentialmealdelivery](http://www.essentialmealdelivery.com/) & [facebook](http://www.facebook.com/common/invalid_request.php#/pages/Essential-Meal-Delivery/128188147230024?sk=wall) Toronto-based company, [Essential Meal Delivery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bake-at-home-bread), is a meal delivery service with a twist; it combines the culinary skills of a chef with the dietary knowledge of a nutritionist. This is how it works: You fill out an assessment form stating your age, address and fitness aspirations, and then the company’s [chef and nutritionist work together](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tempo-x-maria-sharapova) to come up with an appetizingly healthy [meal plan tailored to your goals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mymealplan). The company will even consider all the foods you dislike, making sure never to include those ingredients in your meals. It also swears by never repeating a meal, unless, of course, you really enjoy it. This means never being bored with your lunch or dinner selections again, and you will be eating something good for your body too. In an age of overtime hours and busy schedules, everyone could use a hand in the kitchen. Especially when so many of us resort to fast food or frozen dinners when we don’t want to be bothered with cooking. But, Essential Meal Delivery is here to remind users that prepared food doesn’t have to be unhealthy; it can taste great while having balanced ingredients that are essential for staying in good physical shape. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Personalized Meal Plans:** The trend of personalized meal plans is disrupting the meal delivery industry by offering customized and tailored options for individual health goals. - **Chef-nutritionist Collaboration:** The trend of chef-nutritionist collaboration is disrupting the culinary industry by combining gourmet culinary skills with dietary knowledge to create healthy and delicious meal options. - **Food Customization:** The trend of food customization is disrupting the food industry by allowing customers to personalize their meals to their specific tastes and dietary restrictions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Meal Delivery:** The meal delivery industry has an opportunity to embrace personalized meal plans and collaborate with nutritionists to provide customers with healthier and bespoke meal options. - **Culinary:** The culinary industry has an opportunity to integrate dietary knowledge and collaborate with nutritionists to create healthier and more customized meal options for customers. - **Food:** The food industry has an opportunity to cater to the growing demand for personalized and customized meal options by offering a wide range of ingredients and meal customization features. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nutritious Meal Delivery Service](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/factors-meal-delivery-service.md) - [Subscription-Based Food Delivery Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fresh-meal-plan.md) - [Premium Toronto Meal Delivery Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chefdrop.md) - [Chef-Designed Read-To-Eat Meal Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wecook.md) - [Healthy Meal Delivery Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/healthy-meal-delivery-service.md) - [Health-Conscious Meal Delivery Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eat-clean-bro.md) - [Chef-Curated Meal Subscriptions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upmeals.md) - [Homemade Meal Delivery Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookin.md) - [Chef-Led Meal Subscriptions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookunity.md)
