Most people hate to eat the same food twice. I am one of them. When you make a home cooked meal as a single person, you get tired of the food after eating it once. So what happens? You throw the food out, or invite that your friend you know eats anything over and have he or she (its usually a he) eat the food.
To make a home made pounded yam and egusi soup for one person is utterly impossible. So you may have to prepare enough soup to last a week. Now who wants to eat soup that is one week old? With the current Nepa situation that ensures that anything you put in the fridge gets rotten after two days? The only way out is to keep warming the soup every morning and every night and that makes it stale.
Let's do the maths; how much does goat meat alone cost? For egusi soup for one person, the least you may get is 500H, then the egusi itself, dried fish, stock fish, crayfish, palm oil, ugwu leaves, e.t.c. By the time you buy all this you should have spent close to 1500. Now let's talk of buying the yam and pounding it in your house! Phew. Only to prepare the meal and eat it all by your self. Extra phew!!! Ladies abeg save all that stress for when you are married. This is the only time you have to play by your own rules. So have fun.
The solution is to eat out. Stark your tea condiments at hand, always have fresh bread and probably oat meal or any cereal of you choice. This settles breakfast. Eat out for lunch, and eat light for dinner. Something like fruits or a healthy snack would do.
Mind you, THIS RULE ONLY WORKS IF YOU ARE SINGLE!!!
