Maybe it's the way I was raised, but I absolutely can't stand throwing away good food! I think I'm looking for consolation that it's better to throw this food out and be a little wasteful, than to end up eating it and inevitably gaining weight.
How about freezing it? I hate to throw away food as well.

Personally, I do not think there is anything wrong with a splurge now and then. You can divide it up into small portions and freeze it. Or, throw away half and freeze the other half (divide it up into small portions).

Maybe you can have a small portion of the mac & cheese, salad and protein for a healthy lunch or dinner.
