Ate the taco and cheese enchilada last night. Today I'm going to pour the green chili on the burrito and cut it in half, then take half to work with me for lunch and then have the other half for dinner. Basically one meal turns into three.

I'm the same way. After I started being more careful about how much food I was consuming, my appetite grew smaller, so that I can rarely finish a meal when eating out at a restaurant. Therefore, I almost always get the leftovers to-go, and stretch that into 1 or 2 more meals, so that the cost per meal goes down.
At my favorite Chinese restaurant, I always order a few extra entrees, so that I have a wide variety of food to taste from, and then enough leftovers for a few days, which comes in handy when I get really busy.
