What is the Lego-system method for meal prep?

The Lego-system is a modular cooking framework where you prepare a set of base components once — proteins, grains, vegetables, sauces — and then assemble them into 9 different meals throughout the week. Each component is a "Lego brick" that combines with others, eliminating repetitive cooking and reducing total time to under 2 hours.

How long do the components for Mealprep 15 stay fresh?

Cooked grains and proteins keep for 4–5 days refrigerated in airtight containers. Dressed salads and sauces last 3–4 days. We recommend completing all meals within the prep window shown in the app.

How many different meals can I make from Mealprep 15?

Mealprep 15 yields 9 different dishes across 3 days for 2 servings each. The components are designed to combine in multiple configurations so no two meals taste the same.

How is parallel cooking different from traditional batch cooking?

Traditional batch cooking runs tasks sequentially. Parallel cooking — the method used in Mealpreper Guide — schedules tasks simultaneously across your stovetop burners and oven. The Gantt-style timeline in the app coordinates every step so you finish a full week of components in the minimum possible time.

Do I need special equipment for this modular meal prep system?

No special equipment is required. The system is designed for a standard home kitchen: 2–3 pots or pans, a cutting board, and basic containers for storage. The Mealpreper Guide app provides the exact shopping list and parallel-cook schedule.

"This was my first time cooking with the meal prep system, and I'm genuinely impressed by what the app offers: a shopping list, clear step by step instructions, precise measurements, and finished meals you can check off as you go. It's a real gamification of the process, and it's fantastic. I've never seen anything like it and it really works for me. One note: cooking took about 3.5 hours instead of the stated 2, so plan for extra time. But the meals themselves take the stress out of planning what to eat and free up so much time. Thank you!"

"This is my first attempt with MealPreper. So of course there are some nuances. But overall impression - loved it! All the dishes are tasty - 5 stars. The kids liked it less - well, I'm already used to that... What went wrong: 1. The ingredients list pasta, but the recipe says passata. 2. I'll need to adjust the portion sizes myself - I calculated for myself and 2 kids, and set 2 people in the settings - we ate this food for a week, not 3 days. 3. Wrapped lavash doesn't keep well, for the future, better to wrap it right before serving (or maybe I'm missing some nuance). 4. It would be great to know, if a prep is designed for several dishes/days, that the instructions say "half the prep." * Still want to end on a positive note - the idea is great! I'm staying to try other prep scenarios. Thank you so much!"
