Real food. Real results. Zero meal prep stress

Jason Zaran · Food & Drink · prairies

Family, friends, food, and fitness have been cornerstones of his life for as long as he can remember. A Business graduate from SAIT Polytechnic, Jason Zaran entered the consumer packaged goods industry in the 1980s and built a successful career spanning more than two decades. A long-held desire to try his hand at entrepreneurship eventually led him to leave the corporate world to start his own business in 2006. This venture, The Main Dish, pioneered Calgary's healthy convenience food scene and grew over ten years to encompass six unique concepts and locations - ultimately leading to the launch of Fit Kitchen in 2015.

In addition to serving as Fit Kitchen’s Visionary, Jason acts as Chair of the Calgary Multisport Fieldhouse Society, the lead advocacy group working with local officials to bring a Multisport Fieldhouse to Calgary. He also sits as a Committee member at Sport Calgary.

Jason and his wife, Pam, have two children, Faith and Quinn. He often refers to Fit Kitchen as a "family enterprise," due to the fact that he works alongside Pam and Quiin day in and day out. A firm believer in staying active and competitive, Jason is always seeking a new physical challenge, and rounds out his passions with personal development through reading and embracing experiences that push him outside of his comfort zone. More recently, he completed the New York City Marathon, which he added to his long list of athletic activities.
