Tomi Jurlina和Dean Deakin在悉尼西部的一家家庭厨房里只花了1400美元就开始了健身餐。 Eight years on the business is worth an estimated $12 million and delivers to 3,000 locations across Australia. 这项业务开展了8年，估计价值1200万美元，交付给澳大利亚各地的3000个地点。 The journey began in February 2012 when Mr Jurlina, then 30, noticed a gap in the market after his personal trainer gave him a diet plan that he found overwhelming to prepare. 这段旅程始于2012年2月，当时30岁的尤利纳注意到市场上有一个缺口，因为他的私人教练给了他一个令他不知所措的饮食计划。 'I hate cooking. I am actually a really bad cook,' he told Daily Mail Australia. 他告诉澳大利亚“每日邮报”：“我讨厌做饭。实际上我的厨艺真的很差。” 'I spoke to Dean, who comes from a family of chefs, and ran the idea past him andwe decided to launch a business.' “我和出身于厨师世家的迪恩谈了谈，向他传达了这个想法，然后我们决定创办一家企业。” The pair, who both worked full-time in IT at the same company, threw every spare minute into organising the healthy pre-made meals. 这对情侣都在同一家公司全职从事IT工作，他们把每一分钟的空闲时间都投入到组织健康的预制餐点上。 'We would wake up early in the morning go to the shops, bring it back, then cook, pack, then chill them,' Mr Jurlina, now 39, said. 现年39岁的尤利纳说：“我们一大早就起床，去商店买东西，把它带回来，然后做饭、打包，然后把它们冷藏起来。” 'It was full on.
