Having a menu to choose from instead of pulling it out of the air is going to help. Second, if we don't do something like this we are going to eat out constantly. With just two of us, the "lets just pick up something up" becomes less expensive and more tempting. I am already way too big. I will explode unless we change our diet.

All of that totally makes sense, and I find even the basic portioning aspect appealing. Like you say even choosing a weekly menu is a significant 'hidden' hassle, and then trying to properly shop, cook & store it IN PROPER PROPORTIONS becomes some kind of mental Tetris, regardless of whether you're talking about one person or ten.
