Am I the only person that keeps bread in the fridge?

Nope. I mentioned I keep my bread in the fridge at the bottom of page 1.

What nonsense have you been reading? :confused:

A lass I lived with at uni would often cook oven chips and some other processed crap. Rather than pile them all on the her plate she would always leave 5-10 chips on the baking tray. 'I don't want them', don't ******* cook them then!

It's the same total time to digest if you eat 6 small meals or 1 large one, meal frequency/size has nothing to do with metabolism or weight gain/loss, just another myth.

I couldn't afford to waste food even if I wanted to, which I don't.

As for the comments relating to not being able to help being full, and leaving food instead of instilling a habit of continuing to eat regardless... Make and serve smaller portions? If there's enough left to constitute wastage, you're doing it wrong tbh.

The OP was complaining about wasting food on a meal out where you have no control over portion size...

I'm very prudent with food after being at university. I throw away very little.
