How does Wiltshire Farm Foods work?
Although not specifically designed for weight loss, a Wiltshire Farm food delivery can be used to shift the pounds quite effectively.
By delivering frozen ready meals that are nutritionally balanced and also already calorie counted it makes sticking to a low calorie dinner easier.
If evenings are your downfall and you struggle not to order a takeaway, a tasty ready meal that only needs to be heated up could be just the answer.
Also if eating out at lunch is piling on the pounds, then you can enjoy one of the 'mini meals' just by popping it in the microwave.
There is a good range of diet meals that can be delivered, all broken down into types such as beef, pork, lamb meals etc.
Recently, new options have been added such as:
- Vegetarian
- Low fat
- Low sugar
- Low salt
- Gluten free
- Dairy free
- Softer Foods range (puree meals).
Whiltshire Farm Foods do advertise that pre-packaged frozen meals offer instant portion control and so are extremely helpful to those who are on calorie counting diets, or for people that have trouble with portion sizes.
If portion control is the problem, they offer:
- Mini Meals 180-220g
- Main Meals: 275-465g
- Hearty Meals: 500-565g
The diet delivery meals are not advertised as a calorie counting service, just that it ‘could’ be useful for those watching their weight.
How many calories do Wiltshire meals provide ?
If you are using the delivered diet food to manage your weight, then you will find that some of the meals are each less than 320 calories per portion, while some of the desserts are less than 75.
Breakfast delivery choices are limited, with only 3 to chose from, so you would be better off substituting your own and adding the calories to the day.

Add in a low cal breakfast and snacks and it would be possible to lose weight.
You could use Wiltshire Farm Foods to plan your diet. Each meal has nutritional information on the site so you’ll be able to plan in advance.
That said, there is no food or exercise diary to use so keeping track of exercise, meals and any snacks you have might prove difficult and without an exercise diary you can't add in any calories you might earn for getting active.
How much weight could I lose?
Wiltshire Farm Foods make no claims to how much you could lose, just that they offer low calorie counted meals.
If you work out your calorie allowance on wlr, you'll be able to see how many calories you should have to lose weight at a reasonable rate for you.
Weight Loss Resources' View
If you have enough will power to just stick to what is sent to you and add snacks, then you should lose weight. Without a food diary however, you cannot monitor any ‘extras’. You basically just buy the meals and add what you want to them.
The relatively low cost and variety means that you could order for the whole family as there appears to be something for everyone on the site.
As always, it’s a reduction in calories that will shift those pounds. Wiltshire Farm Foods is just another way to do this and might suit you if you can afford the cost of the diet delivery meals.
Ultimately, it’s just as easy – and much cheaper – to follow a 1,200-1,400 calorie diet based on foods from the four main food groups, and eat the things that you enjoy!
