I cook for one all the time. I've always found it's easier to cook for
two than it is for one. I'm guessing you have a refrigerator if there
are leftovers. Then again, I don't know what sorts of things you eat
(or how much you eat) for dinner. Ultimately, you're the only one who
can determine why you feel the need to snack.
