Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu said, ‘I will not be able to eat so much food,

PURPORT
According to Srimad-Bhagavatam (11.18.19):
bahir jalasayam gatva
tatropasprsya vag-yatah
vibhajya pavitam sesam
bhufjitasesam ahrtam
“Whatever a sannydsi 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.
