About Calo

Calo is a meal subscription company founded in Bahrain in 2019 by Ahmed Alzaini. It delivers ready-made, healthy meals daily to subscribers and has expanded across the Gulf, including the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

Subscribers choose a plan based on their goals, such as weight loss, muscle gain or balanced eating, and Calo personalises meals according to calorie targets, dietary preferences and allergies. Menus rotate regularly, and customers can swap dishes through an app.

The company prepares meals in its own central kitchens and delivers them each morning, with nutritional information for every dish.

Technology is central to its model. Calo uses data and software to plan menus, manage kitchens and handle large numbers of personalised orders efficiently.

Healthy meal plans are popular in the Gulf, where many residents have busy schedules and fitness goals, and where obesity and diabetes rates have pushed people to pay closer attention to diet.

Calo has raised venture funding from regional and international investors to fund its expansion.

Calo is a Bahrain-founded company rather than a UAE startup, and Startups UAE lists it among the meal subscription services operating in the UAE.
