Not with my sims. Hunger bar is still 3/4 full, and they're off to make lobster thermidor! I would have lots of fat sims, were it not for Dizzy's leftover mods and Pescado's noeatcrap. I still have to monitor the lazy sims for overeating, though.
Well, none of my sims have 10 cooking points so far, so perhaps their behaviour will change as soon as ZOMG Lobster Thermidor!!1 is available to them. As for lazy sims - I definitively prefer them to be fat, so I can distinguish them from active ones without having to call them over. Makes it easier to weed them out.
Even the ones not maxed in cooking will do this though, for other meals. However, I like your thinking about the lazy ones.

If any of my sims prepare food without me noticing (unlikely) then I get them to finish cooking, cancel out the 'eat' action and store in inventory.

Yup - store in inventory or "put away leftovers" is my method. Personally, I hate sims preparing one serving, and my sims are all so damn selfish that they don't appear to autonomously "serve dinner" even if they have 3 starving kids home from school and doing the "I needz fudz nao!" whine. It's such a waste of time.
My IRL mother always cooked a cauldron of something at least once a week and stored the leftovers. Consequently, after a while, she had pots of stuff in the freezer and we could pretty much live on that without cooking any new food (at dinner time) more than once or twice a week. I am trying to follow the same strategy with my sims, although, considering the cooking skills level of most of my MATY sims at present, they don't get much variety - what they get is lots and lots and lots of spaghetti.

I did that before Seasons and before I had dizzy's leftover hack. Now, the sims I actually play (instead of just watching and P&Ling) are directed to cook a group meal once in a while and otherwise live off leftovers. Preferably fish because it doesn't cost anything and lasts forever when it's prepared with expensive equipment. The only thing that bothers me is that sims need to get the fish out of the fridge even if it's in their inventory.

There's nothing wrong with living off spaghetti only ;D

Millions of Italian-Americans can't be wrong about doing just that. :)
