We're serious about helping you reach your weight loss goals. By meeting with a Kcal Extra nutritionist, we can learn about your food preferences, eating habits and lifestyle. During the consultation we will also provide the InBody analysis which provides us with a complete review of your current weight, body composition and metabolism. This analysis helps Kcal Extra nutritionist provide you with a fair assessment of what your goals should be and how your diet should be structured for even better results.

Simply visit your e-tools and select a time and date that suits your schedule. If you chose "Plan without consultation" (Set-to-go), we recommend you weigh yourself once a week at a consistent time (preferably in the morning) to avoid any normal daily weight fluctuations that commonly occur.
We have three different meal plans, each designed for specific goals including weight loss, weight and nutrition maintenance and muscle gain and recovery. Kcal Extra nutritionists are on hand to ensure you select the right plan for you based on your optimal daily calorie intake, age, height, current weight, gender and activity level. Our lowest calorie level is 1,000 calories per day and our highest is 2,300 calories.
The amount of weight you lose depends on a number of factors including your age, activity level, amount of exercise, medical conditions and starting weight. Most Kcal Extra customers lose anything from 3 to 8 kilos per month. Ultimately, your results depend on YOU and your commitment. We’re serious about helping you. How serious are you about helping yourself? (*)

Your Kcal Extra plan is created bespoke for you and is designed to provide you with all the carbs, proteins and fats that your body needs. Regular well-balanced meals regulate your blood sugar levels, which in turn reduce cravings and hunger levels. It should just take a few days for your body to adjust to your new diet but following that, if you still feel hungry, please speak to a Kcal Extra nutritionist and your plan can be amended as required. When possible however, we do recommend you try to fight any hunger and stick to your plan to enjoy the greatest results.
At Kcal Extra, we make it our mission to deliver exceptional customer service and to always go that extra mile.

We intentionally limit the numbers of clients assigned to each account manager to ensure you receive the service you deserve.
Good nutrition and an active lifestyle go hand in hand so exercise certainly plays a role in living a healthy lifestyle. We’re happy to refer you to companies that offer personal training and give preferential rates to Kcal clients, however please note these companies operate entirely independently from us.
Simply heat them in a microwave oven based on the instructions on the label. When your plan starts, we’ll also send you a guide with all details.
If you have a question that isn’t covered here, please send us an enquiry here or call us on +971 4 434 4111 and we’ll be happy to help.
Hundreds of happy clients!

I opted for an international meal plan for two weeks. I was skeptical in the beginning bcoz i had this idea that healthy food is mostly bland and not tasty at all. But i am very pleased with the Kcal services right from their delivery of the box completely packed and delivered to your doorstep along with different menu with tasty food each day.
Its a great thing to start if you want a healthy lifestyle with good and tasty food. My account manager, Mr Mahmoud was very helpful and he made the process very simple.
A special Thanks to him.

Rime Metawihe

I started Kcal about 15 days ago and I already lost 2kg. Super happy from the service provided - delivery is ALWAYS on time and the food is tasty and different every day. My account manager Charisse is very attentive to my needs and dislikes. She is very responsive and making my life easier with this diet plan.

Jean Paul Boyadjian

I have been subscribed to Kcal plan for the 3 rd month now and the results i am having compared to my objectives are up to my expectations. Quality of the food is very good and tasty. Delivery service punctual. I don’t have to think what to eat anymore , kcal has it planned. The staff are very friendly especially Alma who is always there to answer to my inquiries.

Alessia Elizabeth Austria

I love KCal! I normally have a hard time eating healthy foods but with KCal’s menu everything is delicious without compromising the taste and the ingredients. Perfect for those people like me who do not appreciate greens! :)

Alice Lopez

I've been trying Kcal for months now and I am super satisfied with their service. The food is better than what I've expected. If you're trying to lose weight I recommend Kcal diet plan.

Dahlia Haleem

Delicious food and so convenient. If I didn’t like something a quick WhatsApp message to my wonderful account manager Sheryl and my menu was changed. Really great variety. Their delivery service is impeccable. I leave my house for work at 6am and my food is already here and I’ve packed brekkie and lunch and snacks into my lunchbox and am out the door in minutes. Also really satisfying meals. I got the lowest calorie option and am not hungry or having any cravings - they balance the sweet and salt so well that I still feel like I’m having a little treat for my afternoon snack with a cup of tea (brownies, little chocolate bites, etc). Will definitely extend the service for another month at least 👍🏼

Been with Kcal on & off for 5 years almost. And can’t say enough good stuff about them from the quality of their meals, their zest for continued excellence in providing motivation to us through their meal plans & also great support system like Sheryl who has been looking after me & not just that she has been one of the key factors in my road to a healthy better me.

I Have been with Kcal for a year now and I must say I have a quite complex preferences. But Kcal was able to provide me with my needs with the help of my Account Manager Charisse. Highly recommended and very convenient especially during this times. 👍

Andrew Wright

From the start had nothing but awesome support. The food is really tasty and fills you up. There is a great variation to the menu, but if you get something you don’t like then you simply tell your advisor and it’s taken off.
I’m 4 weeks in, don’t feel hungry, it’s too easy, and weight is coming off.
Have only positives to say about all at kcal, but especially Salwa who has been pivotal to me. 5 stars easy.

Assaad Hobeika

Best experience. Price is worth the professional service(support, hygiene, delivery , variety, packaging , awareness ....etc). Beside all these, my priority was to loose weight, and I did with zero effort . I have lost 5kgs in one month (92 to 87 ) and insisting to reach my target(82) soon.
I feel healthy dynamic and I am happy eating everyday a new international meal and healthy sweets .
Thanks for Anas from the call center team and Sruthi account manager for their support and professionalism.

Gonka Gorgulu

Have been using their services for a month and very satisfied with the food quality and customer service. Neil, our account manager, has been very responsive and accommodating with our requests. Would recommend it to anyone looking to eat well and save time (and money tbh). Keep it up KCal team.
