How often do YOU eat fast food/takeout/restaurant food?

Every Friday and Saturday, and most Sundays.
Usually not fast food. Mostly restaurants and "fast-casual" places (I love Chipotle)0 -
Rarely if I am not on vacation. I'll get a veggie pizza from the Costco food court every other week. Husband and I will eat half one Friday and freeze and eat the other half the next. Sad because I used to make all my own pizzas, but I just haven't had the time lately for that.

If you include takeout and workplace cafeteria, about once per day.
We (family) do takeout such as a pizza, Chinese food, or taqueria offerings 1 - 2 nights per week, and I'll sometimes add a third night because I am not a huge pasta fan and the rest of the family is (i.e., pasta for you guys and street tacos for me tonight!). I'll also frequently do lunches out myself. Not a lot of traditional chain fast foods (e.g., McD's, etc.) but just because there are a lot of local offerings that are still within money budget and are tasty options. One regular FF chain is Chipotle when I am trying to nail down logging better.
Going out to sit down at a restaurant for a family meal or with friends, etc. -- not nearly that often; maybe a few times a month.
As to how it might affect your logging and your efforts at losing / maintenance / gaining efforts (if that sparked the thread), two big things for me: (1) it is much, much, *much* easier to accurately hit calorie and macro target goals when cooking for oneself most of the time; and, related, (2) logging is very much on a "reasonable efforts" basis when eating food prepared by others -- essentially one must do one's best to log accurately, but be prepared to ignore the CICO math of your raw logging and rely way more on actual measurable results (weight, measurements, visuals) to tune one's effort (because the CICO math is riddled with estimates on CI).0 -
Never. 100% clean nutritional plan here . I only eat extra lean protein, steel cut oats, flaxseed, and do vegetable juicing twice a day. I have no desire for processed food like product or junk. If it didn't grow out of the ground or come from an animal I don't eat it.0

I go out for lunch one day of the work week (Friday) and eat from home the other 4 days. And we average eating out 2x a week as a family id say.0

No one mentioned eating fake food on this thread. :huh:1 -

Setting aside all the other issues with those limitations (cooked veg are bad? a ribeye is unclean? a salmon is bad), I am glad to know that restaurant chefs all make "processed food like product or junk." I mean, they cook food, but so do I, at home, even my "extra lean protein" and "steel cut oats" when I have them (pro tip, doing steel cut oats in a rice cooker works great).
Salmon is a much better source for omega 3 than flaxseed, btw. http://www.health.harvard.edu/heart-health/why-not-flaxseed-oil2 -

That sounds unnecessarily restrictive...1 -
Depends, averaging probably 1-2 times a week but sometimes it's quite a few meals if my brain is being a bugger.
Largely Japanese (I have the best restaurant that delivers) or Chinese. Sometimes McDonald's, sometimes the wood fired pizza place.
And then about once a month I go the fancy supermarket (M&S food hall) and get a few of their convenience snacks and meals. Had a wood fired single serve pizza for about 500 calories the other day. Easy peasy to fit into my day and delicious! It even had high calorie salami on it, it's like magic or something that they kept it so low calorie.0 -
I almost never eat fast food. I'm vegetarian and most fast food isn't. Of the fast food that I can eat, I don't enjoy most of it enough to justify the calories.
We go to sit-down restaurants about 2-3 times a week, usually for brunch or lunch on the weekends. My husband loves going out to eat, and it's really hard for me to log accurately if we go out, so I'm really trying to compromise on where and how often we go out.1 -
Rarely for a meal do I go get fast food.. I make one exception - sopraffina restaurant.. which has quick salads and oatmeal and stuff I can eat - to go.. when I have been too busy to cook my own food. the other stuff is just too tempting.0

I feel as if this shouldn't even be necessary to point out, but there are chefs doing amazing things with food. I love to cook, especially vegetables, but some of my most exciting and amazing food experiences have been when I have paid talented and inspired people to cook for me.

I'd say two 'eating out'/fast food experiences per month, on average. Maybe one, but more likely two.
But I do have ready meals three times a week, nowadays, so those might count as 'fast food'. This is because my toddler's very recently become a fussy eater and they do sell healthy toddler-friendly ready meals that have turned out to be only way I can get her to eat properly with very limited time. Plus, she's soon to go to nursery and when she does, I'll be eating on my own and will want something very quick and easy whilst she's off being fed proper food by someone else. Unfortunately, finding 'grown up' ready meals made only of natural ingredients with no added rubbish is an altogether different ball game, so mine are no doubt significantly worse than hers (though I'm usually still very careful about salt levels etc.)0 -
For those who eat out at restaurants at a higher frequency, how do you manage that while trying to lose weight?
Every time I try to have balance on a deficit by eating out, I find I gain weight (and I don't mean just water weight), even if I only go out 1-2 times a month. It's caused me some anxiety because unless a restaurant posts its calories, I don't want to go, and end up missing out. I want the balance, but hate the step back my body ends up taking. Any advice would be super appreciated!0 -

Yes, exactly. I've said this before, but I attribute my love for vegetables (vs. the grudging "they are okay and of course one should eat them" I reached college with) to trying good restaurants with really well-cooked vegetables and interesting preparations. A lot of my other love for interesting, well-cooked whole foods too.0 -
For those who eat out at restaurants at a higher frequency, how do you manage that while trying to lose weight?
I went out about once a week (to a restaurant for dinner, no calories given -- I probably ate about once a week at a quick serve place with calories that had a salad with protein or something else that fit into my plan). I'd start with the assumption that even if I was not overly indulgent it would be high cal. I started by eating very little that day and that didn't work -- I over ate. After that I usually saved some exercise calories during the week and ate lighter than usual but not super low the day of and ate reasonably -- focusing usually on getting protein and vegetables. If the serving was big I noted that at the beginning and decided how much I would eat before I started. I didn't eat the bread on the table or get dessert just because I was at a restaurant. I don't drink, so that's a calorie savings, although you can certainly work in a glass of wine. If I planned to go to a favorite local pizza place, I'd usually eat higher in protein, lower in fat and carbs for breakfast and lunch, as my pizza always tends to be a bit low protein.
I always lost on schedule. I think I was below maintenance on restaurant days, but higher than on my other days.
If you just mean you are up the day after (which is not actually something I experienced), it's probably just water weight.0 -

Because weight fluctuations don't bother me.1 -

That sounds unnecessarily restrictive...
I have a severe digestive disorder and can't eat 95% of the food available at supermarkets. Mostly rice based products I can have. No dairy, egg, soy, processed, fruits, fresh veggies (can juice to remove fiber), artificial sweeteners, artificial colors, more than a half dozen grams of sugar, among other things.

Most food available in supermarkets is either processed or junk food. The western diet is based upon primarily taste and ease of use (and what is the cheapest way for the manufacturer to make it.) I shop the perimeter of the store for fresh food sans the rolled oats. Due to my health ailment I really can't go near processed foods (and junk food is out of the question) and have to stick to fresh foods. It's better for me anyway. My digestive issue saves me from the temptation to eat unhealthy because I really can't do it.0 -
I eat out at least once a week on Wednesdays because I go to bar trivia at an Irish pub. Authentic Irish food is amazing. Besides that, I usually only eat out once every other week or so. I'm obsessed with Taco Bell, so I have to indulge every now and then so I don't go crazy.0

I agree that much of the food that is commercially available is processed in some way. That doesn't make it junk. It's just food, and things like bagged salad, baby carrots, Greek yogurt, rice and quinoa can all be part of a healthful diet. So can packaged lunch meat, sandwich bread, dried pasta, jarred tomato sauce, frozen vegetables, milk, precooked chicken breast, frozen meals, and gelato.... all of the above are staples in my diet, none of which are junk.
None of that has anything to do with eating in restaurants which is what this thread is about. How is a local farm to table restaurant which prides itself on locally sourced ingredients (presumably many of which come from the ground or animals) "junk"?

If I'm living alone like I am now, I prepare all my own food except maybe one day if I'm running late and didn't have time to make lunch.
If I'm with my boyfriend, it's typical to eat out at restaurants twice on the weekends.0 -

This.. and also, those things can be part of an overall balanced, healthy diet.
