Meal Prep 6 Proves That Meal Planning Doesn't Have to Be Boring

Meal Prep 6 is a 3-day, 9-meal plan designed to prove that meal planning doesn't have to be repetitive. Built around peanut porridge, bulgur bowls, and burgers, this menu covers the full spectrum of daily eating without repeating a single plate.

What is the concept behind Meal Prep 6?

Total prep time: 1 hour 45 minutes. The session produces components for breakfast, lunch, and dinner across three days — a peanut oat porridge base, bulgur, roasted chicken, caramelized onions, a quick tomato sauce, and burger patties.

It's designed for people who want variety without spending half the weekend in the kitchen.

What do you eat each day?

Breakfasts: Peanut butter oat porridge — warming, filling, and made once for all three mornings. Topped differently each day (banana, honey, berries).

Lunches: Bulgur bowls with chicken, caramelized onions, and different vegetable pairings. Day 1 uses tomato sauce; Day 2 adds a yogurt drizzle; Day 3 goes lighter with fresh herbs and cucumber.

Dinners: Burger night, repeated twice with different sides — once with roasted veg and once with a simple salad and extra sauce. The third dinner is a warm bulgur plate with remaining chicken and caramelized onions.

Why does this meal prep work so well?

The key is the bulgur. As a grain, it holds flavor better than rice after refrigeration, and it reheats without becoming gummy. Paired with the caramelized onions (which take 25 minutes of passive cooking), it creates a deeply savory base that works across multiple meal contexts.

The peanut porridge base keeps for 3 days covered in the fridge and is served directly from the pot with minimal reheating. Burgers reheat well in a dry pan for 2 minutes per side.

What are the daily calories and macros?

Daily average: 1,600–1,800 kcal. Protein from chicken and burger provides coverage across all three days. The peanut porridge contributes healthy fats and sustained morning energy. Bulgur adds fiber and complex carbohydrates.
