When someone praises your skills, saying you are 'less than this' is a way to show you are not arrogant. Hosts will often try to give you more food. Using 'کمتر از این' is a polite way to insist on a smaller portion without offending the cook. Due to high inflation, Iranians often use this phrase to compare current prices to the 'good old days'.
