This site's exposition
And the LORD spake unto Moses
on Leviticus 7:28-34
The man who brings a peace offering carries the fat and the breast to the altar in his own hands, so the part of the ritual a worshipper performs himself is the handing over. The breast is waved and goes to Aaron and to all his sons, the right shoulder is heaved and goes to the priest who offered the blood and the fat, and the man who did the work takes the larger single portion. Verse 34 says the LORD took those parts from Israel and gave them to the priests, which makes the priest's food a gift out of the altar rather than a fee collected from the offerer.

If it was a peace-offering for thanksgiving, it must be all eaten the same day (
