The darker side of meal prep - no points/calories left to eat up alllll the leftovers from dinner no one is eating and having anxiety over all the food waste. Anyone else?

I don't cook really unhealthy dinners so it's not that the food is all super caloric, but I have to make enough for if the husband and kids actually decide to eat it. If they don't, I end up with a fridge full of leftovers. If I don't meal prep, I can work it into my allowance for lunch, but also if I don't meal prep, it's harder to stay on track. This would all be so much easier if I only had to worry about feeding myself and not fickle small children and a SO! When I'm on track, I go from being the family garbage disposal/waste prevention eater to "Somebody has to eat this! SO EAT LEFTOVERS!" which is also not fun.
