It depends from week to week.
Tomorrow I am cooking a pastured ham. It's heavy and will last several meals, dunno how many, and some will end up back in the freezer for the future. One portion will end up in a Pasta Salad for a challenge here.
Before I retired, I'd make most of my lunches for the week on Sunday (sometimes Saturday). SO, some of those specific parts of a meal would end up showing up for three - four workday lunches. I'd vary around seasonings and sides most occasions. I stopped microwaving there in plastic and bought those glass containers with plastic lids - that I'd take off and cover with paper towels when time to nuke there.
Right now, I am still trying to get used to having my grocery 35 minutes away from me - but I do have a freezer full of pastured local meats. And back yard hens who are giving me eggs. I don't care if I have bread or milk here, but I do store many things in both the root cellar and the pantry.
