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 28 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 28?

Mealprep 28 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.

"Thank you for this wonderful application. It's getting more and more convenient to use it. This is not the first time I've been cooking this meal prep, everything is very tasty. Lately, I've been breaking the cooking process into two days. That way I'm less tired."

Translated from Ukrainian

★★★★★

"They took me by the hand! Thank you! I didn't have enough time, but I had frozen fish, and the kids asked for it in the process. So I think it's all very cool, because I was able to solve these moments while cooking. Very wow! Thank you!"

Translated from Ukrainian

★★★★★

"I like the fact that I can cook once (takes me much longer than 2 hours, but ok) and then not to have this problem for 3 days. Also, the menus are tasty and nutritious - with high protein- and fibre-content, as well as probiotics and omega-3. As the portions are very big, I chose quantities for one person this time, and my husband and I were provided with food for 3 days."

★★★★★

"It turned out very tasty!"

"I've put starch into practice for chicken steaks and avo sauce, thank you!"

Translated from Ukrainian

★★★★★

"Good meal prep, but it lacked the nutritional value of breakfasts, I prefer savory and more varied options"

Translated from Ukrainian

★★★★★

"I am delighted with how it all works harmoniously with each other and how the flavors combine so well. And most importantly, minus the hemorrhoids and what will I eat? My gratitude to Tanya for the development and to me for buying it🤭"

Translated from Ukrainian

★★★★★

"This was my first experience, of course I didn't make it at 2.15 and in 3 hours with a tail. Now I'm walking around happy as an elephant, because in the coming days I don't need to cook. Thank you ❤️"

Translated from Ukrainian

★★★★★

"The pasta is sooo good! The way it's cooked, the pork, the vegetable puree, the dressing — everything is top-notch!"

Translated from Ukrainian

★★★★★

"Tanya, thank you very much for your quality work, I can't even imagine how much time and effort you spend to develop such a perfect guide. The dishes are very tasty and, importantly, I prepared everything quite quickly. I have been enjoying the creative process of assembling the plates for the second day, my husband is also delighted."

Translated from Ukrainian

★★★★★

"This is one of the most delicious menus!!! And the pork is simply top-notch 🤤 it has won a place in my heart and on the table, regardless of whether I prepare the preparations or not :) Tanya, I admire you and thank you 💓"
