事实上，说到做饭我很少用make哪个字，我平常说cook a meal 或者prepare a meal, 但按照惯用法我们说 cook dinner, prepare breakfast, 等. I have to prepare dinner now. I have to leave now to cook supper.( 美国北部的人说，breakfast, lunch, dinner, 我们南部的人喜欢, breakfast, dinner, supper) 如果要用meal 的话,可以说，the morning meal, the noon meal, the evening meal The morning meal is the most important one of the day. The family always gets together for the evening meal.

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. "make the meal" says that someone will prepare food once. "make meals in daily life" is a little wordy, but it means that they prepare food every day. Both are useful in different places.
