The why
Ever since I got to Melbourne, my eating habits got worse and worse.
Not enough time, between everything I had going on.
MY WEEK, IDEALLY
21 / 21 MEALS
📚 Uni assignments
🛠️ Side projects
💼 Freelance work
The why, pt 2
"Take care of your health. Eat properly. Eat three times a day."
I could never follow through.
⏱️ No time
👛 No plan for my spending
Are you eating properly? 🥺
Eat three times a day.
Take care of your health, okay?
The why, pt 3
It reflected on everything I do.
Whenever I was hungry, I wouldn't find the energy to cook. Then I'd lose focus, and couldn't do any of my work properly.
😩 I'm hungry
🛋️ No energy to cookzzz
😵‍💫 Lose focus
📉 Work suffers
SoThe who
That's where Stretch came from.
To make my own life easier: eat well, eat healthy, and save money.
Then I realised how many more uni students were dealing with the same thing.
The who, pt 2
It's not just me.
0%
of uni students surveyed were food insecure in 2024.
Up from 42% just two years earlier.
EACH PLATE = 1 IN 100 STUDENTS
27%
often skip meals or go without food. Up from 17%.
1 in 7
regularly go without food or other necessities because they can't afford it.
+29%
students' basic living costs since 2021, ahead of 24% inflation.

The who, pt 3
And it's not just students.
It's for anyone who'd rather spend less time, money and headspace on what to eat every day.
