i say go all out i like to cook steak and shrimp for myself hey its better if you dont have to share..lol
An omelet. You can fill it with different meats, vegetables and cheeses so you are getting a well-balanced meal that only requires one pan and is quick and easy to make! Have a slice ot two of whole wheat toast with it so you get some fiber, too.

I think the best meals for one are things you can cook once and make multiple meals. Cook Meatloaf and use it for a meal one night and for a second meal have leftover meatloaf in spaghetti or leftover meatloaf with gravy on bread for an open faced sandwich.
You can do similar with chili. Make a pot of chili. Freeze some in individual containers for lunches and use some for one nights meal. Use left overs to make super nachoes.
Buy a rotisserie chicken. Use some for the evening meal, make chicken salad from some, and use left overs to make fried rice.

I like to make healthful versions of basic recipes when I have the time, like spaghetti sauce, chili or some type of soup in large quantities, and freeze it in single serving size containers. Then I defrost one as the basis for a good healthy meal and add something easy to round it out like a baked potato, steamed broccoli or a salad and some good bread.
This allows me an easy way to eat good homemade food without resorting to junk like processed frozen dinners, or pathetic, lonely-looking meals for one like a cold sandwich or cereal.

I think the best kind of dinner to cook for one are salads and meat. My reason is you are cooking for yourself, so prepare something easy and something fast. In addition to that, you are eating healthy.
