Eating At Home

Question: Is it really cheaper to eat at home versus eating out? My mom always said this, but I wonder sometimes - have there been any studies done? I do things like take home 1/2 of my food and eat leftovers, since there are only two of us, sometimes food we don't get around to making at home gets tossed, so I'm not always sure this is cheaper. What are your thoughts? And are there any "firm" numbers? Thanks!

Answer: yes it will always be cheaper to eat at home but you have to be smart obviously if you make something and throw alot of it away you will not be saving money but think when you go to a restaurant you have to pay the profit difference plus all the lights, workers cooks food at a restaurant the owners are making money for a reason

Question: I follow a vegan diet and have food allergies. What are some good options for eating out and/or at home? I usually have no problem finding vegetarian/vegan options at any restaurant. However, since I've learned of my food allergies (sesame, sunflower, tree nuts,) I've been reluctant to eat at restaurants! It's difficult enough to find options to eat at home (since many vegan options include sunflower oil.) How can I find away to eat out or even at dinner parties? I'm embarrassed to tell hosts all of my dietary restrictions!

Answer: The older a person is, the more they relate to "health" concerns rather than "saving the world." Don't be embarrassed. Over three-quarters of Hispanics and Blacks have some form of allergy from dairy food products and most don't even know it. You are more aware of your body than most Americans, and you should defend your lifestyle choices as healthy. This will eventually help some people around you. When eating food prepared by a host, ask if they can prepare extra portions of steamed vegetables without oil. I'd avoid genetically modified food products including corn, canola, and soybean since these are not labeled as such in the good USA. Oils are refined and are not healthy for your beyond your 1 teaspoon of Omega-3 oil per day.(See Cantola.com) Since the word "vegan" has been loaded with "animal rights" tin hats, I'd explain that you are eating a whole food plant based diet. I'd also explain that you are avoiding all forms of over-process and refined foods. That includes most oils. Over 80% of soldiers killed in Viet Nam had a stage of heart disease. Most instances of the diseases of affluence can be prevented or reversed by a very healthy diet. This includes heart disease, cancer, Type II diabetes, stroke, obesity (if you can call this a disease),

Question: Don't you hate the analogy about getting an appetite but eating at home? Look, if you see something at the restaurant you wanna eat, what's the point of looking at the menu then running home in hopes of duplicating the desired dish. At best you'll get a frumpy steak with a side of green beans. Yippie.

Answer: Eh. Regardless if I see an attractive guy, the feelings and the bond I have with my husband far surpass any desire to be with someone else. But that's me.

Question: Eating out or eating at home? Which one of these options would you choose the most and why? A. Eating out at (your choice of restaurant) B. Eating at home (either cooking food or reheating leftovers) Everyone has their reason why they would eat out, and many would choose to eat at home - which one would you choose and why would you choose that option? Please explain why, but you don't have to give too much of a description, just try to sum it down as a few words as possible.

Answer: Enjoying a good home made meal is better than the food at restaurants or fast food joints is better since you know what is exactly in the foods you are making at home, and most of the time, the restaurants add stuff that could make you sick, and possibly send you to the hospital (or E.R.) with the stomach flu.

Question: How do I keep from over-eating at home during dinner? So yeah, that's basically the question. My day goes so good until I come home from school, so until like 3 I eat up to 300 calories, and then at home.. it all goes downhill... and I can see the pounds coming back(even without weighing myself... i can't and i do not want too) so then i eat more out of sadness(im kinda an emotional eater D: ) so any advice? like what i should eat?

Answer: Eat more during the day when you have more time to burn off the calories before you go to sleep. Have a sensible dinner, but only eat one serving, and no seconds (or more). If you get hunger cravings, then try drinking water to fill your stomach. Most people that say they are hungry are actually feeling thirst, because they are slightly dehydrated. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Answer: 80% of the way you look in terms of excess body fat has to do with your nutritional habits. eating at home rather than out at resturants is better because you have complete control over what goes into your food. resturants cook their foods in fatty oils and things like that so you never quite know (unless there is a nutritional chart on the menu) what is in your food. eating properly is tricky so you're going to have to read up on it. books like, "eating for life" by bill phillips, "eat clean" by tosca reno, "the volumetric eating plan" by barbara rolls will help you learn how and when to feed yourself so that you can lose weight without drastically cutting calories or food groups as some fad diets would have you do. also, if you hate cooking check into home delivery programs like nutrisystem or deliciously yours.

Question: Do you prefare Restaurants or Eating at home? My wife has been trying to cajole me several times to no avail to eat at home.But i sometimes feel she is too strict and does not know the importance of dinning and wining out with friends and business partners. Her problem is, she thinks I am eating not in a restaurant but in a concubines.She feels cheated when after all her time and delicious meal i tell her "No I am full, thank you"

Answer: Sounds like you have two issues: Where you eat, and where you live. In a few years which would have been more important to you? A meal with clients that you cannot remember or an ex-wife that does not want to remember you? I would suggest that you find a middle ground. 1) Always let her know where you are at and where you are going. Give her a heads up as soon as you think that there may be a possibility that you may not be home. 2) If you wine and dine the customers, that is fine. Just make sure that you do not overindulge in food or drink. You should make sure that you leave yourself physically fit, as well as more than able and willing to prove to your wife that you have not been with another woman. 3) Call her from the restaurant. Tell her that you are looking at the desert menu and were thinking of her. Tell her that you would like to bring something home to share with her. Describe in detail what is offered and ask her what she would like. 4) Valentines Day is coming. Do not blow it! If not on that day, pick one on random. Arrange to come home early. Make reservations at a nice place. Before you get home, call her and tell her that you have made dinner plans with a very important person for the evening. So do not prepare dinner. Show up a few minutes later. Soon enough to surprise her but not so long that she has a chance to eat.
