Takeout is rare in my house. It costs too much, it's completely unhealthy. We just don't do it.
I'm not saying that we never do takeout, or fast-food.
Try to keep takeout of fast-food to a 1-2/month limit.
Really addicted? Maybe 1-2/week. Set a reachable goal for yourself.
Tips:
-Pack your own lunch for work. Better yet, pack it the night before so that you don't give yourself the excuse of having too hectic of a morning.
-Make large amounts of a meal and freeze manageable portions for future meals.
-Make dinner preparation a family event. My kids enjoy helping me, so I look forward to cooking with them.
-Not a cooker? Try signing up for a cooking class. You may find out that you love cooking!
Tell me how many times you have takeout/fast-food to be entered into my giveaway!

My husband and I split the cooking - I cook Mon/Wed/Fri and he cooks Tues/Thurs/Sun. We leave Sat open for either an easy meal at home or more often to eat out. So I guess that means once or twice a week for us (once for dinner on Sat and we seem to do it for lunch on Sat as well). Though we are tying to gradually make those choices healthier. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is RARE for us to eat out during the week...way too expensive with all the kiddos. But the man and I are TERRIBLE about it on the weekends...we eat out way too often, however, with just the two of us, it's sometimes cheaper (and obviously easier) than eating at home!
