What is Eat Sustainably?

Eat Sustainably is an online nutrition program that supports busy people to eat more plant foods, less meat, more whole seasonal foods, less plastic in food and to waste less food. These changes result in health and environmental benefits, and importantly, they feel good and help you feel more connected to the food you eat and the land you live on. 

Our Accredited Practising Dietitians, Accredited Nutritionists and Sustainable Eating Experts support people by offering practical and evidence-based dietary advice and encouragement. The philosophy of Eat Sustainably is simple – every small dietary change can make a difference to your health and reduce your environmental footprint.

Yes, yes and yes. Choosing, preparing and eating foods that are good for health and the environment are relevant to all age groups - from 1 to 101. In fact, by parents and carers being more aware of the impact of their food choices on health and the environment, children will learn the same behaviours. We strongly believe adults have a lot to learn from children about how to look after the environment. 

Not with Eat Sustainably's online supportive community and practical support. When you join our community, you will have access to:

The Eat Sustainably hub has been specifically designed to reduce the time and mental load of feeding you and your family delicious, nutritious food while reducing your carbon footprint. 

Yes! At Eat Sustainably we know that every small change you make will result in large scale change. This may or may not be related to reducing your meat intake. Eat Sustainably provides delicious homemade recipes, many of which have sustainable meat sources and an extensive education hub which will improve your understanding of the health and environmental impacts of eating different meats. Eat Sustainably's newsletters also contain a flexitarian meal plan, which provides a mix of meat and plant-based meal options.

The food product rating system has been developed by researchers, dietitians and environmental scientists, with the goal of providing people with a holistic snapshot of the health and environmental impacts. Each component has a different weighting, based on the evidence around the health or environmental impacts. The star rating considers the level of processing, packaging, food origins, nutritional value, inherent environmental impact of the food, including whether it contains animal products.

All product reviews are unsponsored and unbiased. 

Yes, depending on your specific dietary needs. Eat Sustainably provides delicious homemade recipes containing information on whether they are vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free or nut free. You can even filter by dietary requirement. Eat Sustainably also offers members product reviews, a science-based nutrition education hub, tutorials and newsletters. Members will also have access to a private online community, to learn from others who may have the same dietary requirements. 

While our website has all the information you need for your healthy and sustainable eating journey, the benefit of the private Facebook group is to learn from other people facing the same challenges as you. It is also a way to have access to the Eat Sustainably team to provide guidance and support for your situation in a supportive online format. If you don't have Facebook, don't worry you will still have access to all of the content of the website (recipes, nutrition hub, tutorials and product reviews), as well as a newsletter received straight to your inbox that has meal plans and recommended supermarket products. 

Yes! At this point our product reviews and seasonality charts are limited to Australia. However, the science-based information in the nutrition education hub is relevant to everyone. As are the recommendations, delicious homemade recipes, tutorials and other content posted in our private online community. We welcome all global citizens.
