FAQs

YES. Lite n’ Easy is committed to the ongoing delivery of safe, healthy meals to our customers.

As the situation around the COVID-19 continues to evolve, we will be sure to keep you posted on any changes that may affect your Lite n’ Easy delivery.

Lite n’ Easy remains committed to using industry best practices in the preparation and handling of food to ensure the highest quality and safety of every meal.

At this stage, the advice from the Australian Government’s food safety standards authority (FSANZ) is that transmission through food is considered unlikely and there is no evidence of this occurring with Coronavirus to date.  For more information, visit FSANZ.

Yes, for the safety of our customers and our drivers, we have initiated a Contactless Delivery procedure which will help ensure there is no person to person contact required when your food is delivered. If you are home when your delivery is made, we would ask for your assistance to ensure you keep a safe distance from the driver to avoid unnecessary contact.

If an esky is considered by the driver to be ‘not fit for return’, you will need to dispose of the esky yourself.

For the safety of our drivers and customers, our drivers are not able to assist customers in taking their esky inside their home. Whenever possible, we would ask that you have a family member, friend or caretaker present to assist you when your delivery is made.

If this is not possible, we recommend that you leave a chair or something stable of similar height outside so that the driver can leave your esky at a height that will make it easy for you to unpack the bags from the esky to take into your house.

In either case, you MUST advise us of your situation either by calling our operations support team on 13 15 12 or by updating the ‘delivery instructions’ on your web account to include the words “Coronavirus Isolation” as you place your order.

As part of continued efforts to mitigate the risk of spreading the coronavirus, we are taking decisive steps with our esky returns.

If you are in quarantine and tested positive for Covid-19, we will continue with our contactless delivery service however we will not be collecting your esky. These esky’s remain your property and as such, must be personally disposed of. We appreciate your honesty and transparency in helping keep our drivers and the broader community safe.

If you are in self-isolation due to returning from overseas, interstate travels or as a precautionary measure, our drivers will pick them up accordingly. However, if the driver confirms that the esky is not fit for return for any other reason, the esky remains your property and as such, must be personally disposed of.

Our drivers have been trained to assess the eskies and are aware not to pick up any eskies from homes where Covid-19 has been confirmed. In addition, our drivers are equipped with sanitisers for use throughout the day to ensure the integrity of safely handling the eskies.

As per the majority of Australian companies, Lite n’ Easy has not mandated compulsory vaccination as a condition of employment. We are, however, proactively encouraging vaccinations for all our team members as soon as possible to help ensure the health and safety of themselves, their families, fellow team members and our communities.

The health and safety of our team members and customers is always our highest priority, which is why we have implemented workplace safety measures that exceed the best practises advised by the Health Department. These practises include, but are not limited to:

• Robust CovidSafe Plans with corresponding Health Declarations.
• Proactive Covid testing to support Health Department directives
• Compulsory daily temperature checks for all team members.
• Restricted access of non-essential individuals to our sites.
• Social distancing & segregation measures.
• Thorough sanitisation, high level hygiene standards, and cleaning protocols.
• Strict hand washing and sanitation protocols.
• The provision of face masks for everyone on site incl. contractors and drivers.
• Working from home arrangements for applicable team members.

We will continue to monitor and amend these practises as required to ensure our team members health and safety.

Jump Start PLUS is a 2 week program designed by Lite n’ Easy to kick start your weight loss journey. It combines 5 days of normal eating with 2 days of partial fasting when the breakfast and morning snack are removed – so you eat lunch, afternoon snack and dinner only on those 2 days.

PLUS, you get exclusive access to the new Lite n’ Easy App that tracks your weight loss and helps you stay on track so can you reach your goals sooner.

For more information about the Jump Start PLUS program, click here.

Jump Start has been designed to be a short term, 2 week option to kick start your weight loss journey. After the first 2 weeks we recommend you transition to the normal full 7 day meal plan for continued weight loss and the full nutritional benefits from eating 7 breakfasts instead of 5 each week.

Not exactly. On the 5:2 diet your energy intake on the fasting days is typically reduced to zero or no more than 25% of your normal intake. With Jump Start, on the 2 fasting days each week, you won’t be eating breakfast or morning tea. This reduces your average weekly calorie intake by approximately 600 to 800 calories depending on which pack you choose, meaning you are still eating up to 80% of your normal intake. It gives your body additional time to burn calories on the fasting days and as a result, you’re likely to improve your weight loss results in the first two weeks and stay motivated to continue reaching your goals.

After your initial two weeks on Jump Start, we recommend you switch over to our regular 7 Day, Full Meal Plans with breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks supplied every day. You will be able to select from the 1200, 1500 or 1800 calorie plans.

Lite n’ Easy offers you total flexibility though. So you can continue with the 5:2 approach for longer if you wish. You can always introduce our breakfasts later, this will ensure you are receiving the full nutritional benefits of eating breakfasts 7 days a week.

Any two days that work for you – they do not need to be consecutive days. Ideally, choose days that are busy to help you get through the morning. Water, sparkling water and black tea or coffee can also be used during the fasting period.

When you place your order and select a Jump Start pack, you will then be able to select the 5 days you would like to include breakfast and the 2 days you would like to keep as fasting days.

It is normal to feel a bit hungrier on days when you are eating less food. Try to schedule your fasting for days where you have lots of distractions so that you aren’t thinking about food. You could try reading a book or going for a walk with a friend. To manage hunger, make sure you are drinking plenty of water, as this will help to keep you full.

If after the first week on Jump Start you find the fasting approach too difficult to stick to, we recommend you switch over to one of our regular 7 Day, Full Meal Plans with breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks supplied every day. You will be able to select from the 1200, 1500 or 1800 calorie plans.

If you need any assistance choosing the right meal plan, call us on 13 15 12.

Everyone loses weight at different rates depending on their age, gender, weight, what they ate previously and level of exercise. Healthy, long term fat loss is achieved when you lose from 0.5 to 1 kilogram per week. This is what our regular meal plans aim to achieve. By reducing calories for the first 2 weeks on a Jump Start meal plan, more weight loss may occur.

Regular exercise will also help achieve weight loss and ensure it stays off in the long run.

The Weight Tracker is a tool that allows you to track your weekly weight loss progress. After setting up your start weight and your goal weight, you simply weigh yourself every 7 days then enter your result into the app for your weekly update.

We recommend that you only weigh yourself once a week and on the same day each week. Daily weigh-ins are not a reliable measure of how you are tracking as there are too many variables which can influence your results.

We recommend once a week, preferably on the same day each week, that you check in to use the Weekly Update feature. This is a time when you can weigh yourself, or take a waist measurement (optional). You can also add a photo for motivation or even add some notes about how your week went.

You can also include notes about your achievements and any areas for improvement. This check in allows you stay on track of our goals, track your progress and reflect on your week.

Simply click on the Weight Tracker button on the bottom menu bar. You can view your total weight loss as well as your goal weight, start weight, BMI and other information.

Unfortunately, you can’t add the individual ‘weekly’ weight loss achievements you may have achieved prior to downloading the app. You can, however, enter your original start weight   when you set up your profile so that your total weight loss reflects your full journey.

You can reset your information in the Weight Tracker by clicking on the ‘Profile’ button on the bottom menu bar. From here, click My Profile, you will then see ‘Reset Weight Tracking.’

You can add a photo to your Weekly Update as another way of tracking your success. To add a photo click on the + icon. You can either take a photo or upload a photo from your image gallery. Then click Submit Update to save your changes.

broccoli, green beans, mushrooms, carrot and celery.

We offer 2 breakfast options and 2 lunch options for you to choose from each day. We are unable to substitute individual items those options.

Milk is a very nutritious food included for its protein and calcium content, which is essential for bone health. Dairy calcium is thought to assist weight loss. If you don’t drink milk, you will need an alternative source of calcium.

Everyone loses weight at different rates depending on their age, gender, weight, what they ate previously and level of exercise.

Most people report they are amazed that they do not feel hungry. Our meals are specifically designed by our team of dietitians to fill you up and keep you satisfied. Remember to drink plenty of water.
However, some people find it takes a little while for their stomachs to adjust to the smaller portions. If you are still feeling hungry after 4 weeks though, it may be worth considering either adding an extra vegetables or a piece of fruit, or changing to a higher calorie meal plan.

If weight loss is your goal, alcohol should be avoided. If you choose to drink alcohol, the Australian guidelines recommend having at least two alcohol free days, and on the days you do chose to drink to limit your intake to two standard drinks. On the days you plan to drink, adding in extra exercise can help to offset the calories of the alcohol.

No – the Lite n’ Easy vegetarian menu includes eggs and dairy.

All stocks used in the vegetarian meals are vegetable based – no meat stocks are used.

No. Only vegetarian friendly cheeses have been used.

Vegetarian meals are produced before  meals containing meat. All cooking equipment is thoroughly cleaned down between products.

Our vegetarian meals do not use dressings or sauces made with anchovies or fish sauce.

Yes. The full vegetarian 1200 and 1500 Calorie meal plans are suitable for both weight loss and weight maintenance.

Yes. All of the cheese used in our vegetarian meals is made with non-animal rennet.

Also know as bean curd, tofu is a food prepared by making curds from soy milk. The curds are pressed into solid white blocks of varying softness; tofu can be silken, soft, firm or extra firm. A firm tofu is used in Lite n’ Easy meals.

Our tofu is made in Australia from 67% Australian ingredients.

Unfortunately, we cannot offer a full 1800 Calorie meal plan as some of the extra meals in this plan still contain animal products.

My Choice meals are currently only available in New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia. We are aiming to roll these meals out to other states in the future.

My Choice meals are specifically designed for older people who are no longer able to manage the volume of our standard dinner meals (i.e. they become too full to finish the meal).

Customers who can manage a standard Lite n’ Easy dinner meal should continue with this range, as they contain more vegetables and fibre and less saturated fat than the My Choice meals.

My Choice meals contain just as much protein as a standard dinner meal, but are much smaller in size. This is ideal for people with reduced appetite.

As we get older our appetite can decrease, and during this time it’s particularly important to get enough protein. For this reason, My Choice meals feature a smaller serving of vegetables to ensure older customers are able to consume enough protein for healthy ageing.

My Choice meals contain more energy than our standard dinner meals. This allows us to pack extra energy into every mouthful and ensure every bite counts.

Vegetables are important, but at this stage of life, getting enough energy and protein is more important.

Vegetables are low in energy and in protein. This is why our My Choice meals contain at least one serve of vegetables per serving, as opposed to our standard dinner meals which provide three serves. The My Choice meals contain fewer vegetables to allow room for protein and energy.

These meals are designed with the nutritional needs of a very specific group of people in mind – people who do not have the ability, due to low appetite, to consume our regular, healthy meals.  My Choice meals provide the same energy and protein as our standard dinner meals, but in a smaller portion, making them easier to finish and enjoy.

If you are currently eating our meals with no issues, we recommend you stick with our standard dinners and the full meal plans. This will deliver all of the additional nutritional benefits that come from including 5 serves of vegetables and 2 serves of fruit each day.

For older customers with reduced appetite, the My Choice meals are a healthier option, as they provide the nutrients they need for healthy ageing in a serving size that is more manageable for them.

My Choice meals can be paired with our existing breakfasts and lunches for full convenience.

As with our standard dinner range some meals will be softer than others, but the My Choice meals are not developed to the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) standards.
