Everybody's different. I like variety, although I get more variety in
my lunches than my dinners.

I don't consider it a waste to cook for only one meal. Consider
scrambled eggs and toast. There's no point making leftovers of that.

Scampi is another one that makes a single meal. When they come out
of the frying pan they're perfectly cooked. Reheating them would only
wreck them.

That said, I often grill extra chicken, because I can use the leftovers for
different sorts of salads and sandwiches. This weekend I'll make a
pot of red lentil soup, eat one portion and freeze the rest.
