I do make a single meal and it eat over and over all week - but with a twist. Every week, I make 2 or 3 or 4 extra portions. That way, after a few weeks, I have enough variety in the freezer that I can choose whatever I want each day.
Bonus, I’m getting in more plants (via both the main ingredients plus the herbs and spices) in regular rotation, as I trying to get to the “31 different plants per week” recommendation.
I WFH, so it’s not like I need to meal prep, but it sure helps me meet more of my health goals if I do, rather than trying to just wing it when mealtime comes around - my pantry contains entirely too many easy backup options: instant noodles, canned and frozen foods that may not be the healthiest, etc. If I don’t meal prep, I’ll make a less than healthy choice. And yes, I could keep those things out of my pantry, but life is too short not to have some fun within limits. :D
