I did that for quite a few years. I would make a meatloaf and have left overs for most of the week. Now, when I try it, I find myself throwing out most of it at the end of the week. I work within easy walking distance to a number of non fast food restaurants, so it's just more convenient to make lunch my main meal and enjoy a variety of foods as well as getting out of the office.
My problem is keeping fresh produce. I do buy dried foods, such as mushrooms, peppers and onions. Certainly not as tasty as fresh, but it can work in a pasta or rice dish, if I don't have anything fresh on hand.
