How do I stop eating out?

Sorry honey this site is for adults not teenagers. But just don't do it or make healthy choices, or learn to cook.

Start simple - frying an egg is actually not easy! Scramble them instead - you can't mess that up! And you can easily make sandwiches, salads, baked chicken, cut up fresh fruits and veggies, cook quesadillas or pasta with tomato sauce. Why not just resolve to only eat breakfast and lunch and snacks at home? You'll save money and calories. There are lots of simple recipes online, but most of the stuff I listed you don't even need a recipe to make.

Anyway, I would suggest you start to learn how to cook for yourself - one day, you will need to cook for yourself anyway, so its best to learn while your young! Especially learning how to cook good healthy foods and meals.

It would make it even more of a challenge to learn to cook healthy foods with the products your mom has in the house.

Hey There , r.
I hated my parent's cooking too when I was a teenager. So I started cooking myself. You say you are a bad cook, but keep practicing, its a learned skill.

Easy thing to do, is steam vegetables. You can either put one inch of water in a pan and add vegetables, cover with lid and cook on med heat for 5-8 minutes. Check the vegetables, you should be able to push a knife through them, but not let it overcook into mush. The other option is using a steamer basket, when you do the same thing, but put the metal basket between the water and the vegetables.

I also love to eat out. LOVE IT! Its always temping. Subway has some good low cal sandwiches and McD's/Wendy's/etc have low cal dressings for salads - eat that! I've found eating salad's take longer, so by the time your done with it, you can be full or close to it.

I'm not a weight loss success yet, but I relate in the eating out temptation. However, I've found that if I order foods that take longer to eat (many pieces of lettuce or vegtables, etc) often I'm satisfied and not sitting there waiting for my friend to finish her delicious looking burger.

Good for you, for recognizing your temptation and speaking up!

UHMMMM>>>>>>>>>> WRONG ANSWER

To the O.P.

Take it from a truck driver who has to eat out all the time, you can chose healthy food and not have to eat fast food all the time. There are a lot of healthy choices at EVERY fast food facility including Dairy Queen. Choose a salad if you have to. I usually do.

It's been said, but the answer is to learn to cook yourself. Me and my friends don't like the board program at college sometimes, so we make our own, and it's a useful skill to have once you are on your own. If one recipe/food isn't working, try a different one. My friend used to burn eggs all the time, but she's gotten better and learned a few more recipes now that she's trying. And I agree that frying an egg isn't always easy (I've been told the frying pan has a lot to do with how well it works)

Look for easier cookbooks. There are a lot out there meant for people learning to cook. I like the "A man, a can, a plan" cookbook because it has simple recipes and canned food keeps well if you're not cooking everyday. But just go, flip through a few cookbooks at a store/library and see if any of them has instructions you think you can follow.
