In search of receipies and daily menus for single-person meals

I'm 6 months post-op. I had the VBG procedure. I've lost 35 lbs so far and am VERY happy with the results, etc. I get my protein supplements by alternating between New-Whey shots (42 g protein, no sugar or fat) and Pure Protein drinks in the can (35 g protein, 3 g carbs) and I'm about to try out a Nectar mix just for variety. However, I'm having more trouble coming up with ideas for meals. I live alone and prior to surgery tended to eat out a lot because I just wasn't a big cook. I'm competent--but it just rarely seemed worth the effort every night for one person. What I need are some ideas for meal plans and some recipies (low in sugar) that are geared for 1 person. Since I can only eat a little less than 2 ozs at a time, even a normal single serving for most receipies would mean two meals. All my cookbooks contain recipies that result in 4-6 servings--which mean 8-10 meals for me now!! I loathe the idea of throwing food away because it spoils faster than I can eat it--I used to do that in the past and I'm very worried it will only get worse now...and in these days with food prices skyrocketing, that's just not an option any more. How are folks with restricted-intake surgeries handling this issue?
