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 30 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 30?

Mealprep 30 yields 6 different dishes across 2 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.
