I am from Istanbul. We like to think of ourselves as part of Europe, but in fact, it is a Middle East country in most ways. But it is far eastern cultures, namely China where leaving behind a bite or two on the plate is considered polite. It shows the host that their meal is filling and substantial.
I, on the other hand, show my boyfriend that I am being careful about my figure even though after a two plates of pasta!

Yes, I had heard that leaving food on the plate meant something like that...A satisfied diner and a bounteous host.
So, also is the benefit of keeping ones figure in eye-wateringly great shape for ones partner; In your case your boyfriend. I do the same for my wife and she in return...Be sometimes a snack sneaks in...😂
