we dont eat out very often. Only when we are out doing other things and dont have time to go home and eat. I cook most of our meals. I ran kitchens for 15 years or so, so I know my way around a stove. We eat better at home then we could at a resturant.

ok, I don't think anyone realistically eats out more than once a day, unless they have limited cooking sources at home (at the dorm, for one, I have to eat out of the dorm pretty often). I find your little note on "over 20" rather insulting, though... There are plenty of healthy options for eating out, and eating at home can be JUST as unhealthy as some restaurants.

We eat out maybe once or twice a week. We used to spend a lot of money going out to eat, though, so we've been cutting down on what we eat out and how often.

I try not to eat out a lot, but sometimes I will go out for lunch a lot at work.

I don't eat out very often, mostly because I'm on a tight budget. Maybe twice a month or so I'll eat at a restaurant's lunch special.

I enjoy cooking. My hubby would burn breakfast cereal. Works great. I love to cook. However, a couple nights a week, we are just too darn busy, or tired. Either eat out or get take out.

A restaurant poll just showed that you and 89% of America (including us) are doing the exact same thing. Money is just tight and that is one of the first "little luxuries" to go.

Not true. Sorry. A lot of us grab something on the way to work, that is once. Then have lunch at work or get something out and go back to job, that is twice, and then add in a couple days of "work late", "too tired" or just "want to" eating out for dinner and those days are "three" times a day. This happens to many folks a few times a week, that I personally know..including my husband and I. As for the authors comment about 20 somethings, yes, I agree, that could be taken as insulting, but folks here tend to write stuff to make it funny...probably just his or her "warning to the young". Don't ever take these posts too seriously. All in fun.

At this point, maybe once a month or so. We used to get Friday dinner and Sunday morning breakfast out every week and then often eat out once or twice during the week. But, financial woes have caused us to stop this.

We ordered take out pizza last Friday night, because our little one had a friend over and the two steaks we had bought for dinner wouldn't have stretched. It was a BIG deal, as we rarely order take out pizza anymore.

I do know people who eat virtually every meal at a restaurant or fast food place. I know some single guys, some single women and even a few couples who seem to eat virtually every meal out. One of my daughters works at a daycare center/preschool and she says there are children who bring McDonald's or Burger King in for breakfast every day. We are talking kids between the ages of one and four!

Oh my goodness, well, we used to eat out several times per week (at least four or five!) but the decision was never mine to make. (Just the way our relationship works).

Once my husband was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, he cut back drastically on wanting to eat out, and now we only eat out maybe twice per month most months.

We don't eat out very often but usually it's when my Master is off work whether that's a day off or on the weekends.

We eat out less than once a month. It's healthier to eat at home.

I remember as a kid having left over pizza for breakfast and then mcdonalds for lunch and then taco bell or kfc for diner on a number of occasions. It didn't happen EVERYDAY, but it happened frequently enough for it to leave a lasting memory. We would get to a point where we couldn't decide what to go get because we had had everything so recently. I remember wishing there were MORE fast food restaurants so that we had a bigger selection lol.

That's not to say my parents never cooked, they did and when they did it was darn delicious, but sometimes you get busy. It's a lot of work cooking for 10 plus people every day, 3 times a day, on top everything else you have to do in the day. Sometimes it's easier to just grab a pizza or two. I guess we just got into a bad habit. I always wonder how the heck they paid for it all.

Now that I'm living with the boyfriend we still eat out quite often, but we've been cutting back considerably the past few months. It's went from about once or twice a day to once a week, which is pretty darn good. Not that our home cooking is always super healthy, but it's a start.

I rarely eat out anymore, but my parents have a long standing policy that they do not cook dinner on Friday nights so if I am home on a Friday I get to eat out (or get take out) for free. I never turn down free food.

Maybe twice a week. I prefer to cook as I'm a broke college student.

We don't have many options to eat out, so we usually eat at home. We're definitely less than five.

We almost never eat out. It's a lot healthier and cheaper to cook ourselves.

Eating out can be just as healthy as eating at home as well. It's all in what you choose and where you go!
