In 2009, Emirati national Nasser Al Messabi began a transformative fitness journey that would eventually reshape healthy eating in the UAE. After competing in fitness competitions starting in 2012, Nasser quickly realized that maintaining a strict diet required immense mental discipline and effort. Recognizing a gap in the market for convenient, nutritious meal options, he decided to take matters into his own hands.
In 2016, with the help of a talented chef, Low Calories was born. Nasser’s strong connection with the community fueled his commitment to providing meals that were both delicious and nutritionally balanced. It wasn’t long before Low Calories became a favorite among fitness enthusiasts, busy professionals, and families who care about health and well-being.
What sets Low Calories apart is its unwavering dedication to helping individuals improve their quality of life while staying on track with their health and fitness goals. Customers have access to an in-house nutritionist who also offers home visits to ensure they stay on the right path.
From its humble beginnings, the Emirati-born healthy food brand has experienced remarkable growth. It is now available in over 50 locations across the MENA region, including the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Iraq. The brand’s success stems from its belief that healthy eating is a universal language, capable of uniting people from all walks of life. Recently, Low Calories made its offerings even more accessible by partnering with Tabby, allowing customers to enjoy nutritious meals with flexible payment options.
