Microbiologist/Epidemiologist here. It depends on the food, but pay attention to packaging. Any meats uncooked, no more than 3ish days, cheeses maybe a week-10days, but look at it, if the packaging inside is wet or slimy, toss it. Milk, I'd say 6 days from opening, at most. Any yogurts or sealed packages, if it's tight and…

It all comes down to calories in vs out. I like to "splurge" once a day usually, so I eat minimally for breakfast and lunch usually.

Are you following your macros? More processed food, more carbs and fat = more bioavailable calories. Meaning, if you're at your calorie goal but it's all processed carbs and fats, you're at less of a deficit than if your calories are lean proteins and vegetables.
