I throw any leftovers out on the 5th day - meats, fruits, veggies, pastas, desserts, anything! It's a good rule to live by instead of trying to remember different requirements for different foods.

A week is what I always went by. I had some on the 7th day though, last week, and it didn't taste quite right. So, maybe I should say "a week, give or take".

I say about one week. But if you freeze it it will last much longer. If you do decide to freeze some you should separate it if it a lot.

About a week. NO MORE than that. If it's frozen it'll keep a few months.

My method is that if you are wondering if it is okay, it's probably a good idea to just give up on it.
