I use to teach independent living skills to a young lady who was my room mate for a season. One thing I had her do was buy meat in bulk on sale. Make all the hamburger up as a meat loaf, do not add the onions. Then patty some, make and freeze meat loaf, add some into zip lock bag for speghetti or? / chicken, buy large packs, BOIL till alomost done. freeze enough for a meal, you can put some in over with BBQ sauce for different flavor. I taught her to do the cooking on her days off work, cook enough to last her work week. This gentleman could maybe do the same. You can freeze speghetti, (great) so he gets home take from freezer, microwave, eat. Most people are to tired to cook after work, (single especially) he has two little ones, So why cook and work, cook on days off. Just an idea, My little gal lost 40 lbs this way. She also used the chicken in stir fry, guess everyone has something that may help lol.... Buy and cook a turkey (in a bag) (days off) freeze for meat....? Blessings
