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.

"There was some corn soup left for some reason🤪And in general, the menu is great, very diverse and delicious🤗My husband checked it out👌"

"everything is super"

"This was my first experience of cooking using the Milprep system) I am very pleased with the format offered by the application - a list of products for shopping, clear steps, measurability, formed meals at the end with the ability to mark, such a certain gamification of the process - this is great! This is the first time I have encountered this and I really liked it! Regarding the nuances that did not quite match expectations - this is that the cooking process took about 3.5 hours, not 2, as stated. This duration is not a problem at all, it is just important that the specified time coincides with reality😅because when you set aside time during the working day for cooking, it can be a little stressful when there is such a difference. Meals are interesting, it really takes away this tension in forming a diet for the day, and frees up time. Thank you!"

"The dishes are delicious, but the portions are very large. I cooked for a family of 3, we ate for a week. Thank you for the idea, everything is conveniently organized, although it took more time the first time. I wish you success and further inspiration"

"This is my first attempt with MealPreper. So of course there are nuances. But the overall impression - I liked it! All the dishes are delicious - 5 stars. The children didn't like it much - well, but I'm used to it... What went wrong: 1. The ingredients indicate pasta, and in the preparation - trade winds. 2. I will have to adjust the volume of dishes - I calculated for myself and 2 children, and set 2 people in the settings - we ate this food for a week, not 3 days. 3. Wrapped pita bread does not store well, for the future, it is better to wrap it at the time of serving (well, or I don't know any nuances) 4. It would be cool to know that if the prep is designed for several meals/days, then the instructions should say "half the prep". * Still, I want to end on a positive note - the idea is great! I will continue to try other prep scenarios. Thank you very much!"
