Sous vide cooking isn’t a trend; it’s a game-changing cooking technique, especially for fitness enthusiasts who value nutrition, convenience, and taste.
By sealing ingredients in vacuum-packed bags and cooking them in water at a precise temperature, sous vide ensures consistent results every time.
The Science Behind Sous Vide
Sous vide, meaning "under vacuum" in French, is all about precision. Foods are cooked at their optimal temperature, which preserves their nutrients and texture.
Cooked in a warm water bath that is precisely controlled, the cooking takes place slowly and does not require additional fats. Unlike traditional cooking methods that expose food to high heat and uneven temperatures, sous vide also locks in moisture, nutrients, and flavour.
Why Fitness Enthusiasts Love SousFeed
-
Perfectly Tender Chicken: While chicken breasts are great for being a source of lean protein to support muscle building and weight loss, many hate the dry, overcooked texture. With us, dry chicken breast is a thing of the past. At SousFeed, we use the sous vide technique to craft juicy, flavourful chicken breasts. The precise temperature control ensures that your chicken remains consistent, resulting in unparalleled tenderness every single time.
-
Flavour Amplification: In addition to the perfectly succulent texture, the vacuum-sealing process we use traps herbs, spices, and marinades, enhancing the flavour profile of our chicken. SousFeed’s madras curry and pesto chicken are big hits because the flavours are boldly infused during cooking, without any unhealthy cooking process.
-
Nutrient Retention: Nutrition is so much more than calories. Sous vide cooking locks in essential nutrients that are often lost with traditional cooking methods. It’s perfect for those aiming to fuel their workouts and lifestyle with high-quality protein. Vitamins also remain intact in sous vide chicken compared to grilled or fried alternatives.
- Convenience at Its Best: SousFeed’s ready-to-eat sous vide chicken takes the hassle out of meal prep, saving you time while keeping you on track with your fitness goals. No time? No problem. No more rushing to cook after a workout or after a work day. Just defrost, heat, and enjoy. No cooking, no cleaning. A busy day should not stand between you and enjoying wholesome protein-rich foods.

Protein that Helps Curb Cravings: We know that cravings are difficult to battle. According to Harvard Health, protein takes longer to digest, which explains why it can suppress appetite. The study also suggests that the more protein you consume, the longer the effect may last. Getting enough protein also boosts metabolism and supports energy levels. How much protein should you have in one meal? Research recommends at least 30g protein per meal to stimulate protein synthesis (hence our portion size). With c.30g protein per pack and our delicious flavours, we make weight management and following nutrition plans easier — because it tastes like a treat, not deprivation!
-
Minimises Food Waste: SousFeed minimises food waste as the sealed packaging keeps food fresh longer. With SousFeed’s flexible pre-portioned packs, you’re reducing both waste and stress. Unlike meal prep subscriptions that lock you in for meals over a day or a week, you can flexibly have SousFeed whenever you want. No waste if plans change — our chicken is ready when you are. We also cook according to the orders we receive, ensuring that there is no over supply that go to waste. So if you'd like to help us plan our stock better, getting a subscription would really help this cause too!
"The point of sous vide is to lock in those flavours." — Gordon Ramsay, Season 3 MasterChef (You don't want to Google what came after this line 💀!)
