Except not everybody has a freezer, or room for one. Many singles these days are living in tiny studios. When I cook, I ensure I like the food enough to eat it for the next 3-4 days and I eat one portion then and put the rest in the fridge to be microwaved for the next 4-6 meals.

I also cook in bulk and freeze in individual meals into bags. I make a beef and pork roast, when cooled down I slice meat and gravy into individual bags into freezer. Also a large pan of curry or beef casserole into meal size bags, all to be accompanied by potatoes, veg or rice later. Frozen smash with fresh veg, saves on daily cooking.
