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 7 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 7?

Mealprep 7 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.

"Very tasty menu, thank you. Only missing proportions for marinade when preparing pickled cucumbers, add if possible."

Translated from Ukrainian

★★★★★

"it was very tasty) the only thing is that it is still difficult for me to determine how much to cook for a family of 2 adults and 2 children. because it is too much for 3 people, not enough for 2)"

"Delicious. Everything is accessible and clear. We really liked the nut sauce. 😇 Thank you!"

"It's a little difficult that everything is on the stove - for someone like me with two pots, the cooking took longer🥲 but it's probably just such a milprep. There was still bulgur left, because I didn't understand where it was. Only later did I see that the bowl in the recipe indicated rice, and the ingredients indicated bulgur. But everything turned out very tasty, as always❤️"

"Thank you, everything was very tasty. Personally, I liked the soup the most (I made it not with meatballs, but with chicken cooked in broth) and the tomato sauce 😍 for the pasta. But in general, all the dishes are delicious and the cooking process is clear. As for what could be improved - I miss the video of how the dishes look already cooked, what their consistency and appearance are. Well, it would be nice to hear your voice with explanations :) in this regard, your YouTube videos seem more understandable and informative. But even without this, I am very satisfied with both the result and the cooking process with you. I subscribed to Pro, let's move on :)"

"The dishes are very tasty, the concept of the preparations is topchik. I replaced the brown rice with regular rice and did not add parsley and chickpeas, because I do not like the taste. The portions are larger than I am used to eating, so these preparations were enough for more than 3 days. There were also some ingredients left after cooking all the dishes. I really liked the sauces, especially the Asian one, at home I managed to make the taste like in Asian cuisine, which I love)"
