Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu said, "I will not be able to eat so much food, and it is not the duty of a sannyasi to leave remnants."

PURPORT

According to Srimad-Bhagavatam ():

bahir jalasayam gatva
tatopasprsya vag-yataḥ
vibhajya pavitam sesam
bhunjitasesam ahrtam

"Whatever a sannyasi gets that is edible from a householder's house, he should take outside near some lake or river, and, after offering it to Visnu, Brahma and the sun (three divisions), he should eat the entire offering and should not leave anything for others to eat." This is an injunction for sannyasis given in Srimad-Bhagavatam.
