The only time I eat out is with lunch with my husband twice a week. Since we bought a Big Green Egg, we cook all the stuff we would have eaten out with it. Steaks, Boston Pork Butt, Ham, Turkey, Whole Chickens, etc. Frankly, the food is much better than we get at any restaurant, and we're not spending $200-$500 at a restaurant for one meal for 3 people on weekends anymore.0

As a general rule I don't ever let myself cheat in the form of "cheat days." I find that life already provides enough "unavoidable" cheat days (birthdays, parties, networking meetings, etc.) to meet the quota. Usually I find that you end up eating over your calories on more than just your assigned cheat day(s) because of this. Also, cheat days/weekends keeps you psychologically yearning for it. You'll find that after a 2-3 weeks of no cheat days, or a couple months or so of very few and far between cheat days, you won't want to cheat. ...It's a bit similar to the situation that if I don't watch tv for a while because life/work has been so hectic, I don't get the craving to watch shows anymore).0

My husband and I dine out every Friday. I also dine out on other occasions (maybe twice a month), either for lunch or dinner. I have a pretty good idea of what a serving is by sight. I eat what I want and I stop when I think I have had the number of calories that I have allotted. I am more lenient on Friday since we are usually going to a fine dining establishment and I want to enjoy it. Plus the weekends always equal more wine than weekdays. :drinker:0

Depends on the girl and her grooming habits really. 3-5 times on average though I'd say.0

We eat out a couple of times a month. My husband and I are homebodies. If we are out running errands at lunch or dinner time we will stop somewhere. But usually we just like to eat dinner at home, especially in the colder months when it gets dark early. We do hit Red Lobster once in awhile.0

Also, I eat out almost every day, but it's a bit easier to do in California since we passed legislation here that requires all restaurants to have the caloric information of their menu available.0

I rarely go out to eat even once a month, simply because I have a host of dietary restrictions imposed upon me by illnesses and intolerances which makes it difficult and not too pleasurable to eat out. Plus, I'm a poor college student lol.0

Usually once or twice each weekend. I try to make good choices and I log it but I'm not fanatical about it.0

3-4 times a week.
I eat Chinese, Mexican, Chick Fil A, sandwich shops, on the regular.
Oh yeah, and I'm down 30 lbs. Sometimes ya just don't feel like cooking
But I also measure my food out and eat within my limits.
Don't be afraid of food or eating out, it's delicious energy.0 -

I cheat once, but only after putting a full hour of high intense workout at the gym, and will eat out often, but I'm always the freakshow eating a burger with no mayo and one half of the bun, or lemon juice instead of dressing on my salad.0

Eatin' by definition ain't cheatin'.0 -
My fiance and I eat out once or twice a week, usually on the weekends. I ALWAYS pre-plan, I just feel better doing it that way. I pick out my meal before I even head to the restaurant. I don't really have "cheat" days. I treat every day the same. Moderation, portion control, exercise and substitution is the program that works best for me! If I am craving a guilty pleasure, I will whip up a healthier substitute. If I want the real thing, than that is where the portion control and moderation comes in.0

I usually eat out once a week (the only day i get to see my bf, we usually go out) but even then I keep within my calorie goals. I base my day around what I eat at a restaurant. There are also ways to track the calories in the food you eat when youre out, I find that to be helpful before I order my food.0

Wow!!! Where do you go that it costs that much for three people?
My husband and I eat out maybe twice a week at max. Usually it's grabbing a sub for dinner. Now and again we go out for breakfast. Other than that, the only time we eat out is when it's someone's birthday or anniversary. He and I rarely go out for dinner unless it's our date night which we try to do once a month.0 -
Never. Don't got the money for that!0
