I only buy packages, containers, or cartons that will sit within my nutritional budget to eat all of in a single sitting. One, maybe two of those = one meal. Especially those wonderful single-course entrees I can buy at ALDI for like six bucks a pop. That's actually a day's worth of food. Especially because I tend to eat one meal a day (when i am behaving).
Costco rotisserie chickens rock my fucking world too. Those things can be more than one meal!
I will also buy packages of "salad mix"--mixed greens with a few other veggies in it,
and then I'll add a nice dash of salt, and either a splash of apple cider vinegar or a liberal dusting of Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, then shake it all up and just GO TO TOWN on the whole container.The only perishables I buy are things of this sort that I will most certainly eat RIGHT AWAY.
Everything else is either
a: canned goods where i'll use the whole can at once adding to one of the above items
or,
b: non-perishable usually dry goods with which i can augment other things with pinches and dashes at a time (there are some things like vinegar or certain hot sauces that age and develop more flavor over time).Costco rotisserie chickens rock my fucking world too. Those things can be more than one meal!
CAN be? That chicken is larger than a human baby.
Well, there certainly are """"people"""" (Nationalist Christians, aka Nat-Cs) who think I am skilled and experienced at eating babies, so... I guess???
mmm yes, the ol’ “California Cheeseburger”… a favorite of mine, too.

Now you're speaking my language. 1 meal a day + snacks so I don't starve to death
If you're doing 1-a-day, a rice cooker can be a great simplifier. Throw a measure of rice & your protein into the cooker, some rough chopped veg if you like. 2 minutes prep. While it cooks, make some kind of a sauce - yogurt or mayo make great bases, just add whatever spices you like; gochujang or miso thinned out with some soy sauce, citrus, or vinegar. When the rice & protein is done, pour on the sauce, add some pickled veg if you like. 800-1000 calories, depending on how much fat is in your sauce, one cooking pot, one eating bowl. 20 minutes start to finish.
Rice is especially great because it's one of those dry goods that i can keep for basically indefinite quantities of time.
