Food that fits your goal
Palmerston Cooks is the meal side of Palmerston. Lose fat, build muscle, or hold steady. We measure what your body burns with an RMR and DEXA test, build your macro targets with AI, and cook every meal to hit them. Every portion is yours.
A quick call to see if it is a fit. No commitment.
Built to hold muscle while fat comes off
We hold your protein and calories steady in a deficit, so you keep your muscle while the fat moves. Carbs and fat flex inside your range.
Most meal prep prints macros on a label. We measure yours.
Results come from targets built on your body, and hit consistently. We are the only service in Vancouver that does both.
We measure your metabolism
An RMR test shows what your body burns. A DEXA scan shows what it is made of. Your targets start from real numbers, not a generic calculator.
AI builds your targets
Your calories and macros are built with AI from your results, checked by a real person, and adjusted as your body changes. Not a fixed plan off a shelf.
Every portion is built to hit them
We compute the grams in each meal so your day lands on target. Nothing for you to weigh, log, or guess at.
The same dish, sized to each client's goal.
A fixed menu prints one set of macros and hopes it lands near your goal. We start from your numbers instead. We measure what your body burns, set the targets that move you toward fat loss, muscle, or performance, then size every portion to hit them.
Two people can order the same bowl and get two different plates, because their bodies and their goals are not the same.
We measure what your body burns, set the targets that drive your goal, and size every portion to match.
Same dish from the current menu, two builds. Your portion is then sized to your own targets.
See it before you sign up.
Most meal services show you food. We will show you the tool. Review the week's menu, choose your meals, and your dashboard keeps your macros on track, with nothing to weigh or count.
Review the week's menu, choose your meals
Each week we publish a short menu, breakfast, lunch and dinner, with dishes built for losing fat, building muscle, or holding steady. Take the meals you want and add extra portions if you like. Take all three and the week's bakery snack is on us.
Dishes from the current menu with their macros as written. Your portions are sized to your targets, and the menu changes weekly.
Track it on your dashboard
Your week, on target at a glance. The ring is your calories, the meters are your macros, and every portion is already sized to hit them.
Good morning, Mara.
Six days on plan. You are tracking neatly inside your targets today.

How it works
From the first call to food in your fridge, with a real person beside you the whole way.
Start with a call
A short intro call so we can learn about you, your goal, and how you like to eat.
Get measured
You complete your profile, and we book your RMR and DEXA scans at BodyStats in Vancouver. They tell us what your body burns and what it is made of. Included with a monthly plan, or bring recent numbers you already have.
Set targets, choose your meals
With your results in, you set your daily targets with us and choose which of the week's meals you want.
We review your plan
We check everything and suggest any changes before a single meal is cooked.
A final call on your portions
We walk through your custom menu and portions together, so you know exactly what is coming and why.
Reach your goal
Your meals arrive Sunday and Wednesday evenings, cooked and portioned to your targets. We keep adjusting as your body changes.
What clients say
I have tried various meal prep services and even an in-house chef, but never before have I been able to so easily ensure my daily macros are being hit.
I have always struggled to gain muscle, but now that my week's macros are accurately prepared for, I have been steadily gaining weight.
The only service in Vancouver that sizes every portion to your measured macros.
Targets built with AI, reviewed by us, and adjusted as your body changes.
Macros hit on every plate, with nothing for you to track or weigh.
Food, cooking, delivery, and the target setting that sizes every meal to your goal. Your rate depends on your plan and how your meals are scaled.
Take breakfast, lunch and dinner and the week's bakery snack is free. Extra portions and snacks are priced separately.
Commit weekly or monthly
Weekly runs week to week at standard rates, and you can step off any time.
Monthly includes your RMR and DEXA scans and a preferred rate on meals.
Either way, AI-backed nutrition targets, a metabolic test, and a meal service in one bill. Bought separately in Vancouver, those run well past this, and none of them talk to each other.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to pay for the scans
On a monthly plan, no. Your RMR and DEXA scans are included, and we book them for you at BodyStats here in Vancouver. Week to week, we can arrange the scans for you, or set your targets from recent numbers you already have.
Do I choose my own meals
You choose which of the week's meals you want, breakfast, lunch, dinner, or all three, and how many. The menu itself rotates weekly, one set of dishes cooked fresh and portioned to each client. Meal by meal selection is coming to the app.
What is the benefit of an RMR and DEXA scan
The RMR test measures what your body burns at rest, so your calories are set from your real number rather than an average. The DEXA scan shows your body composition, so your targets fit your body, not a generic chart.
Do I need to know my macros
No. That is our job. We measure you, set your targets, and explain what they mean in plain language.
What if my goal changes
We change with it. Tell us, and we reset your targets and the menu around your new goal.
Where do you deliver
Across Greater Vancouver, on Sunday and Wednesday evenings. If you are in the Fraser Valley, get in touch and we will let you know whether we can reach you.
Is the food actually good
It has to be, or you will not stick with it. The menu changes each week, real dishes like teriyaki chicken bowls and lemon dill salmon, and every portion is sized to your goal.
Can I pause or cancel
Any time. Plans run weekly or monthly, and changes apply to your next cycle rather than mid-cycle.
