Default Meal Time Limit

I apologize if this topic has already been discussed. I've scrolled through several threads but haven't seen an answer to my question. Is there a time limit for eating meals? Somedays I'm in a hurry and don't have time to eat all my food at one sitting. Other times I'm full and would like to save part of my meal to eat later. I asked at my center about saving my food and finishing it later and their response was that I need to eat all of my food at one sitting even if I'm full. That seems strange to me that even if I'm full I'm still supposed to clean my plate. Are we supposed to have our meals finished in 20 min. or 30 min.? Thanks!

I was told at my center that you should finish your meal within one hour.

You are on a calorie restricted diet and not eating all your food will cause you to hold on to the fat and not burn the calories.. You need to eat to burn the calories. This is what they told me at my center. Otherwise your putting yourself into a starvation mode and your body is going to hold on to all the fat.

I was told that if I couldn't eat all the food, just eat a bit of everything equally that I could eat and not worry about the rest.

It takes me forever to eat because I chew alot before swallowing.
I get full before the plate is gone and I cant help it but to save the rest for later.

Some days I'm fine - other days I seem to get full faster and can't eat another bite.
