    My partner and I have cut back on the amounts of food that we buy and if we do happen to have too much we tend to freeze the excess before it is cooked and then put with something else at a later date to make a different meal.
    If we have cooked leftovers they usually aren't that much and my partner will take to work for lunch.

    Breakfasts these days are green smoothies during the week and usually a scrambled egg on a slice of really good wholemeal bread at the weekend. I have been known to have dinner leftovers (chicken, fish and steak) for breakfast too. Making protein a priority does make you think out of the box :-)

    I still cook like I have 4 kids at home; that said, I make healthy versions of favorites, and we invested (we feel like money well spent) in great freezer containers. So I cook about 3 x a month, and we have variations of that, along with vegetables and healthy things, along with the pre made.

    Yes, I do cook from ingredients, and seldom use pre made or boxed items. Never got in the habit.
    When we go out, I always take home what turns out to be 4 meals - or 2 for my husband.

    But still uncomfortable with wasting food. (NOTE: My daughter brought cookies -- and I flushed mine....felt guilty but didn't eat it)
    [I]HW: 240 lbs SW: 199 lbs GW: 140 lbs

    1 MO = 167.0 2 MO = 156.4 3 MO = 148.4 4 MO = 140.6
    5 M) = 136.0 6 MO = 130.0
    1 YR = 122.0 2 YR = 140.00 2.5 YR = 139
    Happy with my weight; happy with my size; over-the-moon with my health!

    I’ve been single (widowed) for 7 years so have made an effort to cook for 1 since then. Since surgery I’m try to be even more cognizant of this, but still often have leftovers. I usually refrigerate one or two more meals and freeze the rest.
    One bit of advice I picked up on and learned from after surgery was that it is OK to waste food. It’s gonna happen! I’ve gotten my mind OK with it. There WILL be more food. It’s not my last meal!
    For breakfast I typically have Unjury Powdered protein mixed with 4 ounces of Fairlife fat free milk, a couple ounces of water and some ice. I add fiber to it and sometimes instant decaf coffee granules or mint extract. Sometimes I add a tablespoon of PB2 peanut butter powder. On weekends I sometimes have steel cut oats with some apple pieces or blueberries in it. I’ve also acquired a taste for green smoothies so on days where I know I may be eating more/higher calorie meals later in the day, I start with a spinach fresh pineapple smoothie.
    Lastly, I start each day drinking 16 ounces of water. Only after that do I have coffee. Then half hour or so after coffee I have breakfast. I’ve found that “eating” later in the morning works better for me as I’m not really hungry first thing while later in the day is when I feel like a meal.

    Some of the scraps I give to my dogs I have 13 Rescue dogs!

    So there is a sense that nothing is wasted.

    By the way, I think it is easy for me to have Steak or anything that I want to eat at breakfast.

    My thinking is I want to feel good today so what will give me the energy and taste good!

    I no longer do the Breakfast I used to have cereal or toast or English Breakfast.

    Actually in Turkey where I live they eat salad and olives and cheese and lots of bread and salami.

    Tourists on the vacation rave how wonderful and healthy it is, but only if you don't eat lots of the cheese and bread and salami.


    What do you have for breakfast?
    I thought there are no people like me who eat something alike hahahah
