[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kinds of things do you like? When I cooked just for myself I made recipes/regular favorites for two and used half for lunch the next day. Sometimes I’d make a bigger position of something and freeze it and keep in my work freezer for lunches, too.[/quote]

I like chicken, shrimp, tuna, salmon, hamburger, pork, steak. I am not a picky eater. I can eat chicken, brown rice, and a steamed veggie. Those meals would be fine. I get confused about the meal planning each week, the logistics of it for cooking for just myself. [/quote]

That kind of meal (protein, rice, veggie) is great for prepping on Sunday for the rest of the week. Get a rice cooker, if you don’t have one, and cook a few servings (1/4 cup dry is a good serving - it’s 1/2 cup cooked). You can eat that as a side throughout the week. Also on Sunday, you can either cook some meat for the week OR separate 1-2 chicken breasts, pork chops, etc. each into individual storage bags and freeze. Each day, pull one out and put in the refrigerator before you leave for work so it’s defrosted when you get home. Then, you just have to cook that and heat up one serving of rice and one serving worth of frozen veggies in the microwave. I eat this way all the time and love it. You can mix it up with sauces, cauliflower mash for a side, stir-fry, fried rice, etc just from those same ingredients you’ve stored in the fridge/freezer.[/quote]
