What I Eat in a Day as a retired, solo gal in my 60s

It's hard cooking for yourself! Here I take you through a typical day of eating as a retired, single gal. I focus on easy, inexpensive recipes that are healthy and very quick to make. Cooking for one does not have to be boring!

I'm not like you, on that I love cooking for one! I have a small appetite, and I make sure that my food is nutritious. I'm small, too, so I don't need much, but I do eat great food, simple, high quality, usually from raw ingredients.
I'm 85, and still luckily feeling well. I live alone, frugally! And happily. Single for many years, such a luxury, just pleasing me.

Omg! I’m 4’11” and slim too! I can confirm that it can much easier to gain weight as a tiny person. I also keep my diet simple and healthy. I have come to enjoy growing vegetables. It’s a relief knowing how it is grown.
I’m 51 and basically retired. I’m legally blind. I’ve spent a good amount of my time contemplating many of the topics that you address on your channel. I don’t have children. I haven’t figured out a “path” to employment with my eye disease. I’ve had to learn new skills and hobbies. Like you I’m focused on how I can have a great life and choose not to focus on things I can not control. 💗

[cathywright]

I just found your channel and love it. Though I am 71 and have been retired for8 years, I am learning new things watching your videos.

[letakennedy]

I like the overhead shots of your meal prep - nicely done! 😀

This is the second video of yours that I've watched, it was another well done video, I am subscribing. It's amazing how many subs you have with 5 videos, you got skillz girl. 🙌🏼

[bjoyp]

I’m plant based so could easily eat all the yummy things you prepared by adapting just a bit. I love bowl foods too and my air fryer! Thanks for reminding us that eating well can be simple and not take much time.

[richardkotowski]

I appreciate your honest genuine self of hard thoughts and being vulnerable with just trying different things that you give to yourself. Take care

One other thing about the bowls... I recently bought a soup cozy and I love it. It's a quit type material that holds in your bowl and keeps your food warm and allows you to carry the bowl to the table without burning your fingers. I just love it.

[bonriver]

I'm a bowl person as well. Your meals all looked very delicious. Just found your channel and subscribed. I am in my 70s, so have been retired for many years. I love having the time to do all of the things that I enjoy. Greetings from Southwestern Ontario.

Thanks for sharing your retirement with those who may be curious. I am looking to retire in about 5-7 more years when I hit 60. These videos are giving me some insight into how to prepare. Again thanks!

I don't like breakfast either, until about 10am. I also love my 1 cup of coffee each morning. I'm a big salad eater. Smoothies mostly in hot weather, I add hemp seed and flax seed before I finish blending. My lunch is always larger than my dinner also. I make sure I finish eating at least 3 hours before I go to sleep at night. I'm a new subscriber. Thanks for the video.

Fantastic! Nutritious, delicious, and simple meals. I'm so inspired. Thank you.

[blackchickadee]

You look amazing at 62! I would have guessed way way younger! Amazing dishes and so healthy.

[RosemaryAlfieri]

Simple. Fresh. Quick. Perfect that you shared yourself enjoying the smoothie and watching UTube. I was in a similar spot, enjoying morning coffee and watching UTube.

Your experience with Philippine food shows perfectly in this video especially for your lunch. You are talented in cooking and making videos ❤

[b.l.wilson]

I don’t enjoy cooking but I definitely enjoy eating and it shows. Now that I’m almost there, maybe knocking at the menopausal door..maybe I’m there already because of the weight gain, hair falling out/growing in places, hot flashes, memory lapses, insomnia and ohh the achy joints/pains it’s difficult to lose weight. I need to learn to eat more protein packed smaller meals. ❤
Another great vlog 😊

[VanillaMoonAstro]

I'm going to try all these meals. They look wonderful, and I love how healthy they are. You've inspired me to get an air fryer, too. I think the quality of your videos is great! I'm happy I found you. Thank you!

[sShadesofGrey]

Love your videos, so helpful for those of us coming up to retirement 😊
