  Uh what??  You mean like how long after food is first cooked can you eat it?  More like two weeks!  Give it the sniff test.

  For us, if it has a dairy product in it, 2 days.  Straight up meat, veggies, etc I'll go 3-5 days depending on what it is and how it's stored.  We usually set about 2 days worth of food in the fridge and freeze the rest so we're not throwing out tons of food after the holidays.

  Our general rule is closer to a week.

  I go by the sniff/sight test.  As a general rule, I don't go anymore than 4 days, but that's THE latest.  It's more like 2-3.

  In restaurants anything that has been handled must be used within 3 days so that is our rule of thumb.
