Strategies for small cooking

I know this is a bit old but since no comments and I have plenty of experience for cooking for only myself.

Portion out meats. Since I’m small I eat 3oz of fish a meal. most people are typically around 6oz.
When you come home from the store take the time to portion meats into ziplocks, or food saver bags

By smaller amounts of fresh veggies and fruits. Keep canned items and back up staples for the pantry.

Start writing down your habits. how many times do you cook a fresh meal a week. Do you go out once a week, do you eat leftovers one night, or perhaps, order delivery?

Something like cook 4 dinners a week, 2 days of left overs and 1 day for eating out or delivery.

Pasta or casserole dishes like lasagna can be made and half can be frozen for a another time.

make dinners with like ingredients but that have the variety you crave.

Hope you’ve found some great and yummy ways to deal with this so you arent bored eating the same things or throwing food out.
