I live by stir fries. A bit of meat, around 4 oz, onions, garlic, ginger, and whatever veg I have on hand.

I put the rice on to boil, then while it's cooking I chop the meat, stir fry it in a wok for about 10 min with the garlic, ginger, and onions. Then add the veg, a bit of water so it doesn't stick and soy sauce, and Yum.

I buy value pack sizes of meats, and then freeze them in single serving portions. It's a lot more economical, and I just pull out whatever meat I feel like having in the morning and let it thaw.

Alternatively, I typically make one smallish roast (1-2 Kg) each Sun. It's easy, just put in a roasting pan, season and bake, and then I have dinner, and enough leftovers for a couple of dinners, a couple of sandwiches, and finally a stir fried rice. If you watch for meat on sale, it's not expensive.
