A bowl of rice with some veggies, beans or protein cooked at home is way less than $6/serving. Heck an apple and a couple of hard boiled eggs is a pretty healthy meal and is less than $1.

I had a co-worker who mixed his own breakfast and lunch batches. They were fairly tasteless but he was eating on like 4 bucks a day.

The problem was taste. At some point he was getting literally depressed. I told him to do 1 normal meal once a day, and his mood improved.

Taste is important. Variety is the spice of life.

Not if you value your time. Cooking raw beans can easily take 45 minutes.

You don't have to stand there and do nothing when beans or a lot of foods are on a stove.

Plus, I don't get the fascination of cooking "single" portions the last decade. The amount of time it takes to cook one portion of nearly everything, you can knock out 4-8 in the same 30-40 min time span. Leftovers next day, lunch or freeze it for a little while. You spent $3/serving and you technically saved more time in the long run and hassle just because you learned to utilize the whole pan instead of a small corner.
