Affordable meal plan in Bali

The Solimans is an affordable meal plan in Bali, not the cheapest food on the island, and we would rather say that up front. Meals cost Rp 85K–140K each, almost every Vegan meal is Rp 90K, and the minimum order of two Rp 90K meals a day for five days comes to about Rp 900K a week. What you pay for is a known cost per meal, known macros, and no shopping, cooking or washing up.

How much does The Solimans meal plan cost?

Every meal is priced individually, and your weekly total is just the meals you pick. Here is how prices are spread across our current menus:

Menu	Price range per meal	Most common price	Avg protein per meal
Vegan	Rp 90K–120K	Rp 90K (59 of 60 menu slots)	~45g
Balanced	Rp 85K–140K	Rp 100K (40 of 60 slots)	~50g
High Protein	Rp 100K–140K	Rp 100K (44 of 60 slots)	~54g

The Rp 85K meals are two Balanced breakfasts: Snickers Protein Packed O/N Oats and Lotus Protein Bliss O/N Oats. Beef dishes are mostly Rp 125K and salmon dishes Rp 140K.

What does a week cost?

Set-up	Per day	5 days	7 days
2 meals at Rp 90K	Rp 180K	Rp 900K	Rp 1.26M
2 meals at Rp 100K	Rp 200K	Rp 1M	Rp 1.4M
3 meals at Rp 90K	Rp 270K	Rp 1.35M	Rp 1.89M
3 meals at Rp 100K	Rp 300K	Rp 1.5M	Rp 2.1M
3 meals at Rp 140K (top of range)	Rp 420K	Rp 2.1M	Rp 2.94M

The minimum order is two meals a day for five to seven days. If you order seven days, Sunday's meals arrive with Saturday's delivery, because Sunday is the kitchen's day off.

What does a budget day look like?

This is a real day from week 1, Monday, using two Rp 90K vegan mains:

Meal	kcal	Protein	Carbs	Fat	Price
Pumpkin Chicken Mashawi (vegan)	725	68g	66g	21g	Rp 90K
Chili Vegan Pasta	567	48g	69g	11g	Rp 90K
Total	1,292	116g	135g	32g	Rp 180K

Add your own breakfast and a snack and you have a full day of eating with well over 100g of protein for Rp 180K of delivered meals. You do not need to be vegan to order vegan meals; plenty of people mix them in to bring the weekly total down.

How does a meal plan compare with warungs, cafés and cooking?

Honest answer: a local warung is cheaper, a café usually is not, and cooking can be cheapest if you have the kitchen and the time. These are typical ranges, not exact prices, and they vary by area and season.

Option	Typical cost per meal (approx.)	Macros known?	Time needed
Local warung (e.g. nasi campur)	~Rp 25K–40K	Rarely; protein often low	Low
Canggu café bowl or main	~Rp 70K–150K+	Sometimes	Low
Cooking in your villa	Varies widely with ingredients	Yes, if you weigh and track	High
The Solimans meal plan	Rp 85K–140K	Yes, every meal	None

Warung food is great. The catch for anyone training is that protein portions tend to be small and oil and rice vary a lot, so hitting a target is guesswork. Our calories in Indonesian food guide gives approximate numbers, and meal prep vs cooking vs eating out in Bali goes through the trade-offs in detail.

Which meals give the most protein for your money?

Price per gram of protein is a useful way to compare. On current prices:

Meal	Protein	Price	Rp per gram protein
Mie Goreng Chicken	81g	Rp 100K	~1,235
Vegan Chicken Fajita	72g	Rp 90K	~1,250
Chicken Tawook and Fattoush	79g	Rp 100K	~1,266
Pasta Pesto Chicken (vegan)	69g	Rp 90K	~1,304
Pumpkin Chicken Mashawi (vegan)	68g	Rp 90K	~1,324

Lowest-priced meals with 40g+ protein

Sorted by price, these all carry at least 40g protein.

How can I keep my meal plan cost down?

1. Order two meals, not three. Make breakfast at home (oats, eggs, fruit) and let us cover lunch and dinner. That alone takes a third off the bill.
2. Pick Rp 85K–100K meals. Vegan mains are Rp 90K, and most Balanced and High Protein mains are Rp 100K. Save salmon (Rp 140K) for when you want it.
3. Mix in the Vegan menu. You can combine menus on any day, so swapping one meat main for a vegan one saves Rp 10K–50K each time.
4. Order five days. Weekends are often when people eat out anyway. Order Monday to Friday and keep the weekend flexible.
5. Pause instead of wasting. Away for a few days? Pause with 24 hours' notice rather than letting meals sit in the fridge.
