Default At what time of day do you decide what's for supper?

I don't but there have been times I'd have a week to myself. If alone
all the time, I'd eat a lot of eggs, cheese, peanut butter and a few
other things that can be cooked quickly with minimal prep, like
sausage or steak.

At it is, there are usually two of us and an occasional third. Dinner
decisions can be made from a week in advance for something special, or
to only minutes when we just have no particular idea of what we want.
About 50% of the time, my wife decides by noon or so and can take
something out of the freezer if needed.

We also cook a larger quantity than a meal for two. That way, we have
leftovers for another meal or for my lunch.
