Field Doctor understands everyone has different health conditions, dietary requirements, and preferences, which can sometimes make it more difficult when buying ready meals or meal planning. Our quiz helps us create a meal plan that is personalised to you and your health needs, making healthy eating simple.

How field doctor creates your personalised meal plan

We use your quiz answers to match you with healthy meals that fit your needs, based on nutritional science and dietary rules.

That includes:

• Filtering meals that don’t match your dietary requirements (like gluten free or low FODMAP)

• Prioritising meals that support your health goal (like lose weight or build muscle)

• Matching nutrition needs (like higher fibre or plant diversity)

• Making it easy to choose from 130+ frozen meals tailored to over 15 different health conditions and goals, using our personalised quiz

This means:

  • you get meals that make sense for your body
  • you avoid meals that could make symptoms worse
  • you don’t have to do the research yourself. It’s like having a smart shortcut through the confusing world of “healthy eating advice” online.

How Are Field Doctor Meals Made?

At Field Doctor, we have a strong process to ensure meals are suitable for different dietary requirements and preferences:

1. Who builds the Field Doctor meals?

This bit matters, because personalisation is only as good as the food behind it. At Field Doctor, every recipe starts with real people and real expertise.

2. Our dietitian, Laura, creates the nutrition brief

Laura designs the purpose of each recipe.

That means the meals aren’t random. They’re built with goals in mind, like gut support, fibre targets, or ingredient suitability for specific diets.

3. Our chef, Matt, brings it to life in the kitchen

Matt takes the nutrition brief and turns it into something that actually tastes amazing. Because if it doesn't taste delicious, nobody wins.

4. Our Somerset kitchen produces the meals

Once the recipe is perfected, it’s produced in our kitchen in Somerset so we can deliver consistent quality, week after week.

This is why our ready meals are both science-led and genuinely delicious.

It’s not one or the other.

5. Why we built the quiz in the first place

A normal meal brand makes you scroll a menu and guess what’s “healthy”. Field Doctor does it differently.

We built personalisation because:

• health conditions are individual

• dietary needs can be strict

• goals change over time

• and food should feel supportive, not stressful

So when you take the quiz, you’re not just picking meals.

You’re creating a plan that fits you.

If you want meals that match your needs, without endless Googling and label checking, the quiz is the fastest way to start.
