I think in future we will bring our own containers to pack any leftovers.
When my wife was around, she'd always bring a bag with our own leftover containers - a mish mash of Tupperware, Rubbermaid, and the local grocery store brand - and in various sizes from small round ones (suitable for something like a dipping sauce) to fairly large ones (perfect for that extra dish of tortilla chips the waiter brought that you really didn't ask for). Kept them in a reusable grocery bag in the car. Did that to reduce waste rather than for health reasons. She always had leftovers, as she would only eat half a meal to keep her weight down. Waiters rarely gave it a second thought, but if they said anything it was usually a compliment for being so prepared.
Probably should get back in that habit.
