How often do you eat out?
#19101111 - 11/07/13 03:00 PM (10 years, 2 months ago) |

I get some sort of fast food every single god damn day and i want to get my own place already and grow my own veggies and fruits and herbs.
That's all in the works, but for now, i'm literally eating out every damn day, sometimes more than once a day.

not once a month but not once a week either, so in between the two.
I cut back a lot after I realized how shitty it made me feel. If only I could cut out all of these frozen foods...

I just ate a stouffers lasagna. I followed the directions exactly but it got burned around the edges and I had to scrape some into the trash. I only ate the "good" part but I feel fucking sick.

When I used to work at Mcdonalds I'd eat it twice a day.. I never liked it and would never pay full price for it but for half price and the convenience while I was at work I'd eat it every day. Never gained a pound but damn did I feel like shit.. I got absolutely sick of it and quit that job and felt so much better after I stopped eating that crap.

Depends, do corn dogs count?
I might have one about once a week. As far as fast food joints, maybe once every 3-6 months.
In my defense, my local store makes a damn fine corn dog. Fried to perfection it is.

Used to be like everyday, but I went on a diet and now it's somewhere between once a week and once a month. It's definitely not very often.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

I go to Subway once in a while. Also get a shawarma once in a while. Both I'd consider reasonably healthy though. That's about it for fast food. Otherwise when I eat out it's usually thai or indian from a restaurant, I don't know if you count that. Normally I'd say once ever 1-2 weeks.

Start packing a lunch man. Buy your self a nice little ice chest and and throw in some snacks and a sandwich. You'll save a bunch of money and get a healthier lunch.

More than I'd like to... the old ladys usually pretty good at whipping up dinner couple nights a week and usually eat leftovers the remainder... but she gets in her ruts too so those days I'm stranded I'm forced to eat mctroubles or taco hell... definitely not a nutritious beneficial sustainable diet unless u want heart disease or tummy cancer idk...
N e way growing ur own food is ideal but takes much time and effort to maintain sustainability. ..
Put down the fast food as much as possible... if anything dine at reputable establishments... I understand price and quality are inseparable but your health is the real issue and priceless imo

Before LSD: pizzas often 2-3 times a day delivered to my door+weed delivered, smoked a lot although only for a short period and at work delivered too for many years pizza delivered almost everyday for the past 10 years, while I was studying too
After LSD 5-10 times: fast food 1-2 times a month (incl frozen from the store), no weed , both for the past 1½ year 77lbs lighter, lost 77lbs in a few months freeze most of my food to make it last longer, ryebread etc. so I dont throw out any slices mainly eat ryebread only
thoughts,desires create suffering ;-) and I created a lot of unneeded suffering the past many years hardly like the idea of eating meat anymore, try to reduce it, its not a lot anymore vegetarian foods often taste as good and the body/mind feels better afterwards often I think, just have to make the change fully

Never really unless i'm working with one of my co-workers who religiously eats McDonalds. I would just order five 4 piece chicken nuggets and a water. But I usually drive my own truck so I bring a nice cold cut sandwich, protein bars and a shake.

ramen noodles or egg noodles boiled with chicken and eggs, religiously, for every meal. supplemented by whey protein enriched milk and bananas and peanut butter. matzos for snacks.
every once in a blue moon i get a craving for a mcdonalds mcgriddle or chinese food or indian food or jamaican food or something. but i've turned myself into a baby, and i usually have trouble taking a huge dump the next day, so i always regret it.
i know i'm a pussy.

Once a month I'll order a pizza at a local shop or more frequently eat at a restaurant, usually when I'm traveling (that's when I like to taste the local cuisine.) My distinguished palate extinguishes the cash in my wallet pretty quickly, so I've stuck mainly to cooking my own meals. I'm a sucker for local, organic foods and microbrews.

I mostly only eat breakfast at home. I like to keep my life as simple as possible. Food preparation and clean up are nothing of the sort. I like to cook when I have fun people to cook with and stuff. I'm actually quite good at it. But I like simplicity much more.

When I was with my ex we used to eat out like 4-6 times a week.. if I didn't feel like cooking after working 12 hours.. we would go out lol. Now that we aren't together anymore I eat out once every two weeks or so. It's funny how that works out lol. It is a lot easier to whip something up for one rather to make a full blown meal. I steer clear of frozen or processed foods after realizing how much easier it is to eat healthy, not as cheap but totally worth it

I eat out about once a year unless you include fast food, pizza joints, and stuff like that, then probably 3-4 times a year.
I generally eat at home.

It's WAY easier cooking with two people. You can alternate nights cooking and it's more satisfying to cook for two people rather than one. Makes the effort worthwhile.

I agree it can be much easier with two and I personally love cooking for the people I care about, I get much satisfaction from it. But when you are the only one that cooks it's pretty tough.. when the person you are with isn't into alternating nights and is only interested in having a meal cooked for them it's a lot of effort after two years haha.

I don't understand people who don't like to cook at least occasionally.
I love cooking.
I think I actually like cooking more than eating.

I know right like it's come to the point where we only need certain things to survive and people can't even take the time and effort to learn how to do that for themselves. There are few better feelings than cooking a delicious meal. but hey if somebody is at least willing to help with dishes I will gladly cook every night!

I despise doing dishes, even if its just loading the dishwasher.
I wouldn't mind it if people learned how to rinse off their dishes, but I guess that's too much to ask.
I always feel so dirty after messing with dirty dishes, I have to take a shower to feel clean again.

Well I work in a kitchen.. so there is no avoiding these duties. I used to hate it, especially cleaning out all the shit at the bottom of the sink. Now I just try and forget about it, and shower regularly lol.

Sounds like a fair trade. I mean, if a guy is nice enough to cook dinner, isn't that the least his lady could do? I'm finding that more guys are into cooking than I thought, which is awesome.
I never cook, so I am getting takeout far more than I would like to admit, but I justify it by telling myself that it stimulates the economy, gives a cook his paycheck, etc. Anything so I won't seem so lazy. 
I don't know, I just can't be bothered to cook. I'll gladly bake, though. Brownies are my specialty.

Maybe like 1-2x a month. I used to eat out every damn day getting take out and going to restaurants. Also depends on who I'm hanging out with as I have some friends who are foodies and loooove to eat out.
I also didn't know how to cook for the life of me. Now I'm pretty good in the kitchen, and I'd rather chill with friends and get stoned and have a glass of wine while dinner's cooking than go out to eat nowadays. It's just a much more chill environment and the food is extra good right after you smoke .
It's also much healthier and way more frugal.
I was never big on fast food, I eat it a couple times a year.

Usually for lunch I will 3x a week or so with co-workers, especially if I have a coupon or a Groupon.
I eat out mostly for special occasions. Personally, I think that I cook better than 90% of your average run of the mill restaurants. Places like TGI Friday's or Applebee's or Islands don't impress me at all, and I feel like I wasted my money when I eat at places like that. So I only think it's worth it to go to 4 star restaurants, places where chefs are highly trained and obviously more skilled than me. Or if they can make something that I can't prepare myself, such as nigiri style sushi or carpaccio or yukke beef tartare, or things I am squeamish about cooking, such as a live lobster. Or if they serve exotic things that I can't find at the grocery store, such as escargot or ostrich meat. Or if they serve cuisines that take over 8 hours, sometimes even days to prepare, such as duck confit or REAL pho. These aren't exactly places that you go on the reg, so I mostly go when I'm celebrating something.
I do like to go to these types of restaurants for lunch though. A lot of upscale restaurants might serve a really expensive dinner, while having a relatively cheap lunch menu (around $10 for lunch, less than $15 with tax and tip).

I've become genuinely disgusted by mass produced meat. I don't even buy meat from the supermarket anymore -- with the exception of stuff from Whole Foods that is rated high on their grading system. So, since I'm genuinely disgusted, it's impossible for me to "cheat" and indulge myself because my mind sees past the taste.
The following thread is enlightening. It contains two video clips: 1. An analysis of a supermarket chicken by a gourmet chef and 2. An analysis of the fat content in supermarket chickens.

The fact that you won't even eat at a restaurant is an indication that you take the integrity of your food seriously. Just because a place has a classy atmosphere does not mean the meat it uses is any different from typical low quality stuff. And of course, our world is filled with restaurants, so it's obvious that the majority use meat produced via the standard factory farming system.

I am really happy that I was raised the way I was. My dad is a master Alaskan guide and started hunting up here in the 60's. So, we've always gone out and got our own food and get paid an insane amount of money by someone else to do it and take them along and get them a trophy too.
I've met some people that refuse to eat wild game. Someone came to my house for dinner and he knew we were big hunters and when he found out that all of the meat in our freezers was wild game he wouldn't touch it.

He said it wasn't clean from possible diseases or some non sense. I suppose some people think that meat you buy from a store is more free of disease? I thought it was fucking hilarious.
I was at Arctic Man one year and I got a lot with a buddy and his dad was there. He doesn't eat wild game meat either. His reasons were the same. I had gotten drawn for a buffalo tag the past year and I had so much buffalo meat I didn't know what he fuck to do with it so I was eating buffalo day and night. Well, I had made some goulash and when my buddies dad came around he asked if I bought it or killed it. When I told him how fortunate I was to get drawn he just started making his own dinner and starts telling me this and that about how much dirtier or more diseased the meat is or something I don't really fucking remember I was so fucked up.
