Throughout the duration of the series, we saw several scenes of the cast eating, whether it be at Penny's apartment, Leonard and Sheldon's place, the or even at the cafeteria.

Alongside Raj even issued some tips on , "Nayyar even demonstrated (via ) some of the techniques they use while filming an eating scene on . One of his tips included putting the food back into the containers after fake chewing."

According to a fan on , . Something like rice, which was often on the show, is easy to get rid of between takes, showing the characters are actually consuming the food. "That’s why they eat a lot of Chinese food and salads. They can move food around with their forks (or chopsticks) and never actually ingest or remove any, allowing faster movement from take to take."

"You don’t see them eating a lot (if any) hamburgers (the most common meal in America). If an actor took a bite out of a hamburger in one take of the scene, they would need to do it again in every take because footage from multiple takes of a long scene can be edited together."

Kaley Cuoco Revealed That She Would Actually Eat Her Lunch During The Takes

Kaley Cuoco revealed some interesting information via IG back in the fall of 2018. According to the actress who portrays the role of Penny, not only was the food very much real, but when she knew there was an eating scene, Cuoco would eat less during the day.

The Massive Amount Of Leftover That Went Untouched Were Donated

Fans really don't miss much and in the comments section of the clip, Cuoco's followers weren't exactly thrilled with all the food that wasn't consumed and for the garbage. The backlash caused Cuoco to edit the post, stating that the leftovers weren't thrown away and instead donated, particularly the food that was untouched.

"FYI that food had been eaten, touched and worked with all day. We save all food and give away all uneaten leftovers at the end of shoot days."

Cuoco really didn't need to address that matter, but it just goes to show how much she cares, especially about the sitcom. In truth, Cuoco wasn't ready to let go at the time and still, she talks about the possibility of a reboot in the future. Hopefully, if one is to take place, we'll have more eating scenes!
