Mr. said i shouldn't eat the pork cuz it was way too old. i was like, whatever, its delicious, and ate some if it anyway....granted it was a little dried out, but still yum.

I usually do leftovers for about 3 days depending on what it is. I usually grow tired of it by day 2 or hubby eats it before I get to it. Though, he's pretty good at leaving me some.

Mex inspired chicken Soup. It was surprisingly good because it had cubed chicken breast so it was way to focus on the Protein. I only ate about half.

I think it depends on what it is. There are some things that I’ll prep and keep for a week (lettuces for salad) and others that I pray don’t make leftovers (I’m looking at you fried foods!)

For what it’s worth, the USDA says cooked pork is good for 3-4 days in the fridge. 🤷‍♀️

This salad was eaten for 2 meals and good thing too because it was huge. And yes, I eat my burgers medium rare. I’m not even sorry about it!

5 days is my cut off point for most. For sashimi and sushi (unless cooked) 24 hrs. If I have a lot of vinegar or lemon juice in the dish, maybe a day or two longer.

I do three days too. Four if you count the day it’s made & that’s for everything all meats, Soups, vegetables, eggs. As long as it’s kept refrigerated you’ll be fine. Only thing I eat in two days is salad - gets too watery & loses it’s texture. I usually get 3 or 4 meals out of everything I cook. Saves me cooking everyday & I don’t have family to eat the leftovers. And as you know I regularly freeze one or two serves so I’m not eating the same meal 3 or 4 times in a row.

Can always do the sniff test & a tentative taste test to see if it’s still okay. We’re big into sniffing in our family - I even sniff milk I’ve just opened. My aunt does the same.

I'll do 4 days with meat, especially a dry texture like pork. Seafood I'll have 2 days of leftover with. Anything soupy or saucey, I'll boil or cook on high heat after a couple of days.

Prior to surgery up to a week depending on what it was. After surgery I will do 3-4 days depending on what it is, some meats tend to get drier, and if that's the case I will add some broth. Today I'm having carnitas which I made on Friday, and just adding some broth when reheating, heck I may have some left over for tomorrow 🤷‍♀️

speaking of leftovers...

Mr. brought home a doggy bag of a souvlaki meal for me, but i really only wanted the pita.

so i cut up what he brought home, sprinkled some olive oil and spices on it and air-fried it to crunchy. ate it with some homemade tzatziki (greek yogurt, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice and salt and pepper)

ate it all.

p.s. i logged it as naan on MFP cuz it was alot thicker than a standard pita!

101 calories for it all.

First meal of the day at 6pm because I was/am too busy moving around my living room. First picture is the nutrition info with the grams is adjustable by weight but seeing as I didn’t weigh it I just left the original weight listed. The second is about half of what the original size was.
