Your cut off limit on food.

[User 180565 is taking donation]

I always hate buying food then always need to struggle to finish off the last few bites, anyone with me on it? I know the common sense thing is to put it in the fridge but ik talking the last few bites.

No, I'm the same way. Unless I'm given/asked for a smaller portion, whatever I get from takeout I either have to finish completely in one sitting or the last few bites are never finished and it sits in the fridge until it goes bad. I'm not sure what the disconnect is, and it annoys the hell out of my sister.

Honestly it annoys me, too. Because that's good food I can't finish!

Hahaha, I actually did this recently. I ordered from Apple Bee's and I thought I was really hungry. But when the food finally came I was like ehh. But I made myself eat the last few bites. I kind of wish I did save it. (I think maybe I was too lazy to deal with putting something away. )

The older I get, the better I am at portion control. Overall anyway. I don't have to scarf down an entire pizza just because I ordered it. It DOES warm up in the microwave.

Some things I cannot seem to waste are foods that do not keep or warm up well. Those make it a little tougher and I find myself forcing myself to eat it. I hate wasting food.

The word "leftovers" is not in my vocabulary. I don't know how some people eat one cookie or a few potato chips.

Of course, I wouldn't eat an entire package of hotdogs or drink an entire gallon of milk. I suppose it depends on the food.

^^^ My siblings and I were raised on "eat whats on your plate, dont ask for anything else until its gone" mentality. That's probably where the disconnect I mentioned earlier stemmed from.

The old Lay's Potato Chip slogan: "Betcha can't eat just one!" always made me laugh. I absolutely can eat just one potato chip.

However, cookies are an entirely different story ...

I'm the exact opposite. A single cookie after a meal is a great way to leave a lasting cookie taste in your mouth for half an hour (or more!) afterwards. But why on earth would I open a bag of potato chips to only eat one!?

Yes you are. Lokai Syko Nachoman . You're like a mirror image of me. Thus you and all of your kind must be eliminated!

I eat until I'm satisfied but stop before that awful feeling of being too full. I just feel right, not hungry but not full either.

Sometimes I buy food that can be ate cold, have a small portion, put a plate over it or put it in the fridge and then resume later on when I get peckish again.

"Leftovers" is not in my vocab either, but mostly because I really hate reheating food. It always feels gross eating it the next day. Over the years I have spent a lot of time working on portions when cooking. I cook just enough for my wife and I to eat, and then will usually make sandwiches or salad something easy for work the next day.

There are some things I don't mind reheating though...Soup, stews, chili, and sometimes pizza and most pasta/rice depending on how it was stored and when. I'm paranoid about bacteria because I suffer from IBS so don't want to aggravate it especially at work.
