How many dishes do you cook in a day?

We eat three times a day, basically. Usually, in the morning, most of us take light meals for breakfast.
For lunch and dinner, that is when we cook a lot. On average, I cook three dishes everyday: Rice, soup, meat dishes.
I cook one set of dishes both for lunch and dinner to save energy.
When my grandma was still alive, she usually cooked 5 viands in a day. She loved foods.
How about you?

Today we only have 1 dish because it is beef soup. Sometimes we have 2 dishes like fried fish and vegetable dish. We seldom have more than 2 dishes unless there are guests.

@Janet357 it is only 4 minutes in our pressure cooker. What's tiring for me is preparing the garlic, onion and ginger for the saute.

I try to prepare 1 veggie or lentils soup in the morning and when I return home I think about preparing another dish or go for leftover if it's tasty.

That's a lot of food. Here in the apartment. I only cook rice, and maximum of 2 viands. Since it is just me and my brother we always have leftovers.

5 dishes a day sounds a lot, or are the two just smaller side dishes?
Sometimes, I'd cook one large dish at lunch so I could just reheat the leftovers for dinner and the next morning. Then maybe add some smaller side dishes or soups and be done for the day.

I don't cook every day. I cook twice a week. If it were up to me I would cook once a day.
