Well, if we're eating on a restaurant. Our family makes it to the point that there would be no leftovers on the table. When it's homemade though, it seems to be ok if there are leftovers. Haha... I always make it a habit to finish anything that's on my plate. I feel it's a waste if I haven't. How about you guys?

I was brought up never to waste food so I find it very hard to leave food on the plate. Its not a good habit though as I am starting to put weight on as I get older. I need to retrain myself to freeze leftovers for another day, not make myself eat them all. I would never throw out edible food though, that seems very wrong to me.

That's right! But actually, I think it would be best if you plan on what you eat before you put it on your plate. I mean, because if it's tampered with already. I heard that they can get spoiled easily.

Yes I always try to finish what I have ordered. If I cannot, I bring it home and eat it as a leftover or feed it to my dogs. i feel that food is way to expensive to waste especially in a restaurant.

I am from the old school that you eat what is placed before you. I try to finish my plate but sometimes I just can't. My family is big into to-go boxes. We'll finish what we start even if it takes us 3 days (LOL!!!). Fun question, thanks.

Sometimes I have leftovers my plate. I do not want to force myself if I am already full. At restaurants I usually share my food with family members or friends if I feel that the food is too much for me. At home I only cook small portions if I am the only one who will eat.

I have been taught to finish all my food since young. When eating outside, I normally normal the minimum in case I cannot finish it. Often, I am able to finish the food. Occasionally when there is too much food, we try to finish it even when we are full. At times, we have it packed home.

I don't clean my plate if I get full. I usually save leftover for lunch the next day or so, so it doesn't get wasted. :]
