and if so how often? Also for guys that have lived alone, what did you do then for cooking?

My friend who lives alone cooks for himself every night. He also hates left overs, so he makes a fresh meal every night,

I don't. Once in a while I will make something and have left overs, otherwise I will just have a sandwich or frozen pizza for dinner or get take out of have fast food.
 
I've been cooking for myself since I left home for good in 1976. My siblings and I were all brought up to be self-sufficient.
 
I cook for myself sometimes. I'm cooking tonight.

But, some times it's hard to be motivated to cook for just one and I do something easy.

And if I want a tossed salad...I just go to my local supermarket and make one from their salad bar. I can get a salad for around $2.00. It would cost me a lot more to buy the stuff to make a salad.
 
I do cook although i'd like to cook more as its too tempting to stick something in the mcirowave after a long working day. But overall i enjoy cooking just wish i had more money and time to experiment with different ingredients.
 
Yes, but I don't do a full Dutch meal every day.

When I'm alone and make hash, it's always for two days.
 
I also go to the supermarket salad bar for salads that I'll eat at home. I very rarely go to a restaurant locally, though there are some very good choices in this town. I eat only one "real" meal per day, the rest being reserved for snacks - sometimes fruit, sometimes things far worse for me, LOL.

Every day I'll either have a salad (with healthy dressing that I have to buy hundreds of miles away) or, most often, steamed vegetables which almost always includes spinach among the others.

Unlike beacjguyj, I "cook for leftovers" - many of the things I cook, I hope to make at least two meals out of. A few times a year I'll cook a turkey, and I'll have a "meat ingredient" that I can use on a bunch of new meals later on.

I do some breakfast type things such as cooking eggs or pancakes...I don't do the hash browns/home fries (I can't make them come out very well) and it just happens that I don't use breakfast meats (sausage, bacon).

I'll often do some of the Asian meals that come in a box, such as some of the Thai dishes, various Indian dishes (very much enjoy Madras Lentils), etc. Though these are usually the size of a meal, I often end up with two meals once I've finished adding bean sprouts, mushrooms, meat (often leftover or frozen turkey or pork), etc.

Turkey as mentioned above, pork roasts, beef roasts, baked chicken. I still have that frozen mutton to try, haha. Any one of these provides meat as an ingredient for a number of later meals.

Meat-in-gravy over toast or smashed potatoes...

Noodle soup with vegetables and leftover meat added...

Four things that I really like, but haven't fixed in ages:

chili

"monggo" (diced pork, mung beans, onions, etc., over rice)

pepper steak over rice

Swiss steak

I've probably covered 80-85% of it
 
I've been cooking for myself since I left home for good in 1976. My siblings and I were all brought up to be self-sufficient.


I am self sufficient. I left my parents home when I had saved up 2 years rent and I never had to move in with them. Self sufficient has nothing to do with cooking.
 
I just got back from the supermarket and bought stuff to make my dinner salads. Two types of lettuce, tomato, onions, corn, chick peas, pepperoni, and a few other things. This is my weight loss meal and I hope to lose 20 pounds on it.
 
When I was young and working the glammy consultant life...I ate out almost every meal...which is how I actually met my partner of the last 30 years.

However, the only time I cooked for myself for about 4 months is when I had Hepatitis and when my now partner first came to my apartment, I had only a jar of Dijon mustard and some pickles in the fridge....nothing in the freezer and about 100 KFC utensil packs in the top drawer.

Definitely one eats better when you have a partner, but the problem is...you tend to eat what you cook and bake.
 
I tend to cook once or twice a week, freeze the majority of it, and then heat up different meals throughout the week. I also make a salad most days (if I haven't gotten one on campus). I'll eat the occasional frozen veggie burger, but since I started my diet, I'm eating much less processed food.
 
I always eat at home, and have one cooked meal a day.Just had lamb chops with sweet potato.
Take 500 - 600gms sweet potato, chop up and cook in microwave for two 4 min periods. Mash with milk and butter - can be a little bit crunchy - fold in 125gms of fetta (full fat) and add a little fresh chopped coreander.
This is great because it is good hot or cold. Great for nibbles.
PS don't mention fat, low fat food is tasteless........crap
 
What is the "healthy dressing"???

Or...

Is it a SECRET???
No, nothing all that unusual or "secret" at all - it's just the ANNIE'S ORIGINALS band...which (to my knowledge) is sold nowhere within at least fifty miles of here. I often MIX Poppy Seed and Honey Mustard dressings in the same salad, and I don't overdo it, as I don't really like my salad veggies dripping wet and partially submerged in dressing like some people do.

I usually sprinkle cinnamon (! ) on my salad as well.

Now, if I could just stay away from the one entire Dark Chocolate bar every day, I'd probably be losing weight again.
 
I cook for myself.
Sometimes I make enough for two or three meals, but generally I like to make it fresh daily.
 
I have my kids every second weekend I definitely cook when they are here. I try to cook for myself as much as possible, tonight I had a t-bone steak and fries with green beans. A lot of the time I put in really long days at work between 12-15 hours when I work like that I don't cook. I actually like cooking but definitely prefer it when there is someone to cook for.

When I do cook I will try and make extra so I can bring it to work for lunch the next day, I get tired of eating sandwiches.
 
im a hotel/restaurant major and love cooking and my friends are always over so i can cook for them. they love to iron chef me. bring me an ingredient or more and see what i whip up.
 
I cook for myself just about everyday. I have a somewhat strict diet regiment.
 
I've been cooking since I was 2 (albeit kid safe things, parental supervision involved).

Age 2-7; My dad teaching me how to cook.
Age 8-17; Mostly learning by trial and error, focusing mostly on error
Age 18-now; Cook for myself and others, still learning new things and perfecting old things.

If there is one thing I would LOVE to learn, it is the fine art of the culinary display for plating up your meals. The Japanese have some amazingly detailed dishes, but I think modern french cuisine still is a great learning point.
 
When I lived alone, I prepared my own dinner. Only when I am too tired or lazy to cook do I eat out. Sometimes, I would be so tired, I just have a few biscuits and just go to bed. I was a lot slimmer then!

Now that I dine with my parents (my mother cooks) every night, I have put on quite a few pounds.
