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 34 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 34?

Mealprep 34 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.

★★★★★

"The menu was very tasty. We had a problem with the drumsticks and the size of the pan — the turkey drumsticks just wouldn't fit, so we split them into batches and kept turning them, which took a lot of time…"

★★★★★

"Thank you so much for your work. For me this experiment was a real wow effect 🤝 I cooked everything, it took more time than you state, but that's not because your timing is wrong — it's because I'm not that fast and had to go back when something wasn't right. My downside is that I don't have that much cookware, so I had to wash the pan or pot often. Then there was the whole "where do I put all this" situation 😂 because there really was a lot of everything. For the two of us it lasted 4 days, since in our life we're not always home and sometimes eat out at a café."

"I really liked the dishes, but the downside is some products weren't used even though they were on the shopping list. Also, I'm still not a big fan of millet 😅"
