How long can you eat leftovers before you die from eating them?

If you aren't a pussy you'll be fine. Most bad things end up just giving me diarrhea but nothing more than that, I've never been hospitalized before due to food poisoning and I've eaten:
>moldy bread (was sailing offshore and lost a lot of supplies)
>a month old leftover pumpkin pie slice
>raw beef/eggs (not impressive, I know, just throwing it out there)
>canned food that turned out to be expired by 5 years
>a sandwich some spic in Miami sold me that I'm pretty sure had been kept on a car radiator for about 5 days, the lettuce was starting to decay)

Never understood how some people can be sent to the hospital for eating a little raw fish or eggs or something

You're incredibly lucky. Try eating bad shellfish.

I prep all my stuff on Sunday, and don't cook again (in any meaningful fashion) until Sunday again unless it's a special occasion. Meaning I eat 7-day old stuff all the time, it's never done anything to me. I wouldn't push it much past a week though.

Your nose has spent millions of years evolving for the sole purpose of being able to detect bad food

If it doesn't smell right it's bad.

Just use common sense.

If the food you put into the container was hot, and the container is clean, then you get an air tight seal. If its in the refrigerator, will probably be good for about a week...

So if portion things out, and store your leftovers inunopened containers, lasts forever really.

I ate 3 week old meatballs kept in the freezer

Youll be fine.

ServSafe says 4-7 days for cooked poultry in the fridge

Who the shit makes shellfish with the intention of having leftovers?

I generally just go by this. I made a shit ton of food and had leftovers for about two weeks. By the end it certainly didn't taste as good as it had, but I never felt worried I would get sick.

Does it smell bad? Does it have mold? Don't eat it. Otherwise should be fine.

I eat 1-2 years old fermented shit that sits outside the fridge all the time. You won't die, and maybe you will actually get some good bacteria in you :)
