Maybe I'm just lucky, but in over 10 years of airline flying I've never taken an additional shirt on my trips. My undershirts are pretty good and I seem to avoid spilling food on myself.
To answer your question, I'm on the 73N and am also a commuter but to ATL. 1-2 shirts will be perfectly fine for any 4-5 day trip. If you start making your schedule with many reserve days in a row or stack trips back to back to reduce the amount of commuting you do, just use the 4-5 day metric to decide on how many shirts and pants to bring. Just keep in mind, those shirts and pants will take up precious space in your bag. I guess that's why I've been very careful with food while I am on trips.
