Three days of real food — breakfast, lunch, and dinner — from a single Sunday prep session. Meal Prep 8 covers the full week with 9 dishes that mix and match from the same set of components.
What ingredients are in Meal Prep 8?
This menu centers around three core proteins — a lentil bake, white fish fillets, and burger patties — paired with couscous, roasted vegetables, and two sauces. The combination creates plates that feel genuinely different from each other: a burger bowl tastes nothing like a fish couscous plate, even though they share some base components.
What do you eat each day?
Day 1: Lentil bake with roasted veg and herbed couscous. Burger with tomato sauce and side salad. Overnight oats for breakfast.
Day 2: White fish with couscous and roasted peppers. Lentil bowl with tahini and fresh greens. Granola bowl with yogurt.
Day 3: Burger bowl with couscous and sauce. Fish salad with remaining veg. Warm grain bowl for breakfast.
How long does the prep take?
Total prep time: approximately 2 hours 15 minutes. The oven runs two cycles — the lentil bake first, then the fish and vegetables. While the oven works, the couscous and sauces are made on the stovetop. Burger patties take the final 10 minutes before everything is stored.
The result is 8 containers that slot cleanly into a standard fridge shelf. No meal prep requires more than 5 minutes of assembly once the components are ready.
What are the nutritional highlights?
The menu delivers a strong protein spread across three different sources — plant-based (lentils), white fish, and meat (burgers). Daily intake averages around 1,700–1,900 kcal. The couscous base keeps carbohydrates moderate; the roasted vegetables ensure fiber targets are met without relying on supplements.
