We often think of “healthy eating” as something we do once in a while — after the holidays, before a big event, or when our clothes fit a little too tight. But the truth is, health isn’t a moment. It’s a journey. And like any journey, the path looks different depending on where you are in life.
That’s exactly why we built Eats Life Manila. As someone who started in the keto space with Ketos of Manila, I realized something important: not everyone wants to lose weight. Some want to manage their blood sugar, others need food that’s gentle on the stomach. Parents want meals their kids will actually eat. Grandparents need food that helps, not hurts.
So we created Eats Life Manila — to support people at every stage of life, with meals that are thoughtful, flexible, and grounded in real nutritional care.
Because there’s no such thing as one perfect meal plan for everyone. And there shouldn’t be.
How Health Goals Change as We Grow
Think about it — what your body needs at 8 years old is very different from what it needs at 48.
-
Kids and teens need food that helps them grow: rich in protein, iron, calcium, and nutrients to support their energy and learning.
-
Young adults might be focused on staying fit, building muscle, or just having enough energy to juggle work and workouts.
-
Midlife adults often need help managing blood sugar, hormones (hello, PCOS), or preventing high blood pressure and cholesterol.
-
Seniors need meals that are soft, heart-friendly, and gentle on the kidneys and stomach.
According to the Food and Nutrition Research Institute, almost half of Filipino adults have high blood pressure, and most don’t eat enough fiber, vegetables, or whole foods.
These are simple problems — but with the right food, many of them can be managed or even avoided.
Why Eating Healthy as a Family Is So Hard
Even if you know what to eat, putting it into practice is a whole other challenge — especially if you’re feeding more than just yourself.
Here’s what we hear from families all the time:
-
"I want to cook healthy, but everyone in the house eats differently."
-
"I don’t have time to count calories or look up what’s good for GERD."
-
"I’m trying to lose weight, but I still have to cook rice and fried food for my kids."
-
"Therapeutic meal plans are too expensive — and I don’t know where to start."
And they’re right. Most families don’t have a personal nutritionist at home or the time to prep five versions of dinner.
That’s where Eats Life Manila comes in — to take that burden off your plate, literally.
Eats Life Manila: A Meal Plan That Grows With You
The name says it all: Eats Life.
Our meals are designed for real life, not just diet plans or gym goals. Whether you’re caring for a picky eater, a parent recovering from illness, or just trying to eat clean without doing all the math — we’ve got you.
Here’s how we make it simple:
-
Our meals are created by licensed dietitians and nutritionists who specialize in family nutrition, medical diets, and lifestyle wellness
-
We don’t do one-size-fits-all. Every plan is made with a purpose — for growing kids, active adults, seniors, and those managing health conditions
-
You get fresh, portioned meals delivered daily, ready to eat and tailored to your needs
-
And best of all — it’s done with care, not confusion
Many medical-grade meal plans in the Philippines cost ₱20,000 or more per month.
At Eats Life Manila, we believe this level of care shouldn’t be a luxury — it should be part of everyday life.
Meal Plans Made for You (and Your Whole Family)
We offer two main kinds of plans — therapeutic for specific health conditions, and lifestyle plans for everyday wellness.

Final Thoughts: Because Life Changes — and So Should Our Food
What works for you at 25 won’t work the same at 45. What helps your child thrive might need adjusting when they hit their teens. And what’s right for your parent may not be right for you.
That’s why we built Eats Life Manila — so that no matter your age, goal, or health condition, there’s a meal plan designed to support your life right now.
Because your life changes — and now, your food can grow with you.
