Why fewer, repeated dinners work better for two
Cooking full recipes built for four or six people for a two-person household almost always creates leftovers nobody planned for. Picking 3-4 dinners and deliberately doubling one or two of them for planned leftovers uses the same effort as cooking seven separate meals, with far less food waste.
FAQ
Is this for couples only?
No. It works for roommates, partners or any two-person household.
Does it include nutrition targets?
No. It avoids medical or diet claims and focuses on planning.
What's the biggest grocery waste risk for two people?
Recipes and packaging sized for larger households — buying a whole bag of a fresh ingredient for a recipe that uses a quarter of it. Favor ingredients that freeze well or recur across multiple planned meals.
