    7. At least. Probably more.

    I work out of a truck so we get fast food almost every day for lunch. Then the bf and I go out for dinner a couple times a week usually. I should buy a lunch box so I can save some money.

    1-2 times a week, unless we are at Disney for the day, which happens once or twice a month. We eat 3 meals and several snacks, while we are there.

    Restaurant food where I'm really sure the calorie estimate is way off - 0.5 weekly.

    Fast food type where it's probably a better estimate - 5 weekly.

    Sara and I were talking about this earlier and we both agree for what it's worth, in that most of the fast food items are probably at least reasonably accurate in terms of caloric estimates since they're likely to have more consistent products.

    Once is typical.

    We might go twice if it's a really unusual week.

    If we are counting fast food, at least 7, probably about 10.
    If only sit down restaurants, 2-3.

    Depends on work travel... non travel week 2, travel week 5-10.

    I have gotten very good at finding restaurants/meals that will get me protein + veg which is what I would prepare at home. Inevitably the restaurant meals are somewhat higher in fat/carbs/chemicals though.

    It's pretty random. Sometimes once, sometimes twice, sometimes not at all for weeks at a time.

    Like how the subject was carefully worded. Around 3-5 depending on how often we feel the need to leave the office.

    1-3 times per week, whether it's fast food, specialty (chinese, sushi, thai) or a fancy restaurant

    once a week. Usually ends up being for unexpected issues (errands take longer, spontaneous night out with my partner, things like that.

    Fast food maybe once every 6 weeks - usually a sausage McMuffin.

    I travel 85-95 overnights for work annually over the past 20 years, so I would guess 2 meals per day when traveling would be accurate, usually at a sit-down restaurant. I try to grab an apple or banana in the morning from the breakfast buffet at the hotel to get my fruits in.

    My other thing has been to eat at least one side salad per day = the number of overnights on the road during that particular week. For example 2 overnights, minimum 2 side salads (light or fat free dressing, no croutons).

    2-3 for my 18-year old son
