Do you eat all the food served on your plate?

Hello livingforever As a rule, I do eat all the food on my plate. I abhor the wasting of food. If I had a habit of not eating so much food, I would start with less food and add more if I was still hungry.

Yes, I clean my plate off whenever I grab something to eat, which usually draws attention because I put a lot of food on my plate. Most of the time, I hear "You're going to eat all of that?". My appetite is huge. It's part of the reason that I don't like going to restaurants as much because if I am hungry, then I will order to feed me, not for appearances. So that would mean having a meal served on two or three plates, a couple of times four plates. Or I will eat something before I go to a restaurant so I don't eat so much. The 'problem' with weightlifters, we have large, expensive appetites, so we can order a ton of food and eat it all, and could be hungry some time later. If I eat like a normal person at home, there would never be any leftovers. For me to get full and have leftovers, I would have to cook enough people to feed a large family. I love my big appetite.

if you are in North America, you will notice that the size of the dinner plate has increased in size. as for me, i generally eat about half that and only put on my plate what i am actually going to eat.

I usually do, because I can usually calculate it. But there are days (or the food is heavieer than it looks like, like some pasta which has an extremely thick cheese sauce, which looks thinner), I'm full after even some bites. Oh, and in restaurants... in my country restauramts are known for giving too large sizes of food :D.

If you ask me, regardless of what the amount, i am always able to finish everything. Depending on the amount, if it's a little, kinda look like the stingy restaurant type of serving, i won't take very long to finish it all. If the amount is alot, or plateful, i'll take sometime to finish it. I would slowly bite, munch and taste it and maybe think about something else, before i know it, the plate is empty.

when it comes to food, you should not waste it. please think of others who cant eat because they cant afford it. you could take small serving and get extra if you still feel hungry, this way you wont leave some over.

Well dear take some time to see the photo I posted below so that each time you leave some food for the trash you can remember this photo. Indeed others do not eat 3 times a day. They would be overjoyed if they could. Sadly they don't have the means and have to be contented with just one humble plate of rice and some salt or soy or fish sauce. But there are those who have aplenty, they can afford to have so much on their plate, they can afford to eat 3 or even more times a day but they waste a lot not unmindful of the fact that the food they wasted is already a source of joy to those who have nothing to eat. I wish everyone would learn to get just the right amount on their plate so no waste is done and hopefully all of us will learn to share our blessings with those who are needy.

I finish all the food on my plate, no matter how big the amount of the food is. I just feel like I need to finish it. Sometimes I don't finish it when I wan to give it to someone hungry.

yes i finish all the food on my plate but i still end up throwing the ones left in the pan sometimes, i just dont have the appetite to eat them when they are stored in the fridge for few days.

I never ever finish all the food on my plate, I don't know how I do that but I always leave 2 bites in the plate. No matter what I eat I never finish it. I think this is just a bad habbit from when I was just a kid, but thats just me. I like seeing some food left in.
