Its just my wife and I. I do all the cooking. Always cook from scratch. No processed foods and I try to keep the carbs below 50g a day. We eat a KETO diet – Low carb/high fat. Over the past 18 months I’ve lost 40lbs. My cholesterol dropped 55 points without meds, joint pain is mostly gone, and my blood pressure meds have been cut by 75%. Eat organic whenever possible. But I do get weary of the cooking sometimes and simply would like to have someone else do it, and maybe eat something I seldom eat. Hard to find a pure KETO dish at a restaurant so we “go off the reservation” once in a while. Never eat fast foods or at chain restaurants, however. Always eat at locally owned places.
People do spend a load eating out. Business is good at most of the eateries around me. Price really goes up if you include adult beverages. Seems that the best value for us has been one of the local Mexican restaurants. Good food at reasonable prices although not that healthy. 😉
