    It could be a psychological thing where you do not want to appear greedy.

    Actually, leaving a little bit is a lot healthier for you. I am of the clean plate club, so I always eat everything I take....but many doctors recommend that you leave a little if you don't feel like eating it. I give you permission not to stress over it.

    I'm the opposite. I think your parents trained that into you. Wasting food really bothers me because I know that could have been something left alive if no one intended to eat it.

    I save it for later even if it's just a bite or two.

    We are far more creatures of habit than we like to think. That is why it is so hard for most people to change their eating and exercise habits to loose weight.

    You developed the habit of leaving food -- probably from child hood. I, like most, developed the habit of cleaning my plate unless there was so much that another bite will make me explode.

    Leaving food is a healthy habit. There isn't anything wrong with you. I wish I could develop that habit.

    No I was taught to clean the plate. so I make sure i put the right amount on. And better to waste some food than to make yourself nutritionally deficient. and since you made the food you are likely to waste some anyways. so fill that plate up.
