Why Hire a Personal Chef for Weekly Meal Prep

Between work, commute, and life, cooking daily is the first thing that falls off the schedule. The alternatives — delivery apps, fast food, frozen meals — are expensive, unhealthy, and repetitive. A personal chef for weekly meal prep solves all three: fresh homemade food, customized to your taste and dietary needs, ready in your fridge every week.

This isn't luxury — it's the smartest lifestyle decision busy professionals make. When you add up the cost of daily iFood orders, the health impact of eating out every day, and the hours spent grocery shopping and cooking, a weekly meal prep chef often costs less than your current food habits — and delivers dramatically better results.

What's Included

What each package actually includes is listed on its experience page, before you pay.

Usually included

  • Personalized Weekly Menu

    A different menu each week based on your preferences, seasonal ingredients, and dietary goals. No repetition, no boredom.

  • Fresh Ingredient Shopping

    The chef sources all ingredients from local markets and feiras, prioritizing freshness, quality, and organic options when available.

  • Professional Cooking in Your Kitchen

    All meals prepared from scratch in your kitchen using professional techniques. No processed shortcuts.

  • Individual Portioning & Labeling

    Each meal individually portioned in proper containers, labeled with contents, macros (if requested), and recommended consumption date.

  • Proper Storage & Organization

    Meals organized in your fridge (3-day meals) and freezer (rest of the week) with heating instructions for each dish.

  • Complete Kitchen Cleanup

    The kitchen is left spotless after every session. Counters, stovetop, dishes, and floor — cleaner than before the chef arrived.

  • Recurring Schedule Option

    Set up a weekly recurring session so the chef comes on the same day each week. Consistent, reliable, effortless.

Real Scenarios

Example requests and how a chef can shape the evening.

Fernanda, a marketing director in São Paulo, was spending R$1,500/month on iFood and gaining weight from the sodium and calories. She hired a myChef chef for weekly meal prep every Monday morning.

After 3 months, she'd lost 5kg, saved R$400/month compared to delivery, and actually looked forward to opening her fridge. The chef became a weekly fixture in her routine.

Ricardo and Juliana, a couple in Curitiba with a newborn, had zero time to cook. Between midnight feedings and work, they were surviving on frozen meals and takeout.

Their meal prep chef started coming every Tuesday. Suddenly they had home-cooked meals waiting in the fridge — including post-workout options for Ricardo and lactation-friendly meals for Juliana. They called it their sanity saver.

Marcos, a CrossFit athlete in Rio, needed 3,200 calories daily with specific macro splits. Meal prepping himself took 6 hours every Sunday and he was exhausted of the same chicken and rice routine.

His myChef chef brought professional variety — same macros, completely different flavors each week. His performance improved, he gained lean mass, and his Sundays were free again.

How It Works

  1. Pick a chef and a package

    Compare chefs, menus, minimum quantities and inclusions right on the myChef website.

  2. Send your request on the website

    Enter the date, address and quantity in the booking form. No app download needed.

  3. The chef confirms within 24h

    You pay when you book, by Pix or card, with a full refund if the chef declines. Then you settle the details in chat.

  4. Meals ready for the week

    The chef cooks in your home and leaves the meals portioned, in the quantity of the package.

Frequently asked questions

Typically 10-20 individual portions covering lunch and dinner for 5-7 days. Some clients add breakfast and snacks. The exact number is agreed upon before each session based on your household size.
Yes. Many clients share their nutritionist's meal plan, and the chef executes it with professional technique and great flavor. It's the perfect combination of nutritional science and culinary skill.
Refrigerated meals stay fresh for 3-5 days. Meals for later in the week are frozen and maintain quality when thawed. The chef labels everything with recommended dates and heating instructions.
When you factor in grocery shopping time, cooking time, food waste from unused ingredients, and the cost of delivery apps on days you don't cook, most clients find meal prep is comparable or even cheaper — with far better results.
Absolutely. Most meal prep clients book recurring sessions — same day, same time each week. You can adjust the menu weekly or let the chef surprise you with seasonal variations.
