well, usually with leftovers for us, if it has meat in it, i will use it either the next day, or the day after that. (so 2-3 days). If it doesnt have meat, it will be 3-4 days. if it has rice in it, i will only eat it the day after and only if it has been put in the fridge straight after cooking. (i have and so has my dad, had terrible food poisoning that has been from rice as it breeds bacteria a lot quicker because of the water content).
i guess we could be a little more relaxed, but other than my rice experience, about two years ago, i have not had a tummy bug. in fact the only times i have thrown up since then have been alcohol related... which i'm not too proud of! so i think my system works pretty alright!
