> bowl of rice with some veggies, beans or protein cooked at home is way less than $6/serving

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.
