home made dinner vs take out foods
« on: July 05, 2010, 11:38:02 am »
thinking about the phase of life that people have in the state it is much likely that most of them chose to just either eat outside or have a carry out..but thinking of which is really much better or healthier would you have dinner prepared at home even if its just a quick one or just rather take out and go to sleep right ahead?

A home cooked meal is the best meal!  It's just not healthy to have carryout all of the time.  We Americans have gotten to the point where convenience has gotten way too important and we think our needs should be immediately satisfied.  Our health will pay because we don't want to take the time to make a healthy meal.

there are always ways for us to have the convenience of eating the right food consuming only less effort and time..like instead of having fries or fatty foods..just toss out a vegetable salad and add your favorite dressing to it..as they say not all good tasting foods are good to for body

I really try to make homemade meals. I so need to go grocery shopping but we are lacking the money right now. it really saves the money compared to eating out.

I would take a home cooked meal over a frozen meal or takeout any day!!  If you make large quantites at a time you can use them throughout the week.  Saves money and time!!

For most things I'd prefer homecooked. Sushi and pizza are about the only exceptions.

Homemade is def better!! I agree!! It is safer, as we know exactly what we put in it and how we prepare it, take out, i think, was initially made for those convenient times that were supposed to be every now and then but we got soo spoiled!! :( :icon_rr:

I think it's depend... because if you alone or with your partner.  To cook it will be a big of a deal.  For my family.  We have a large family.  So basically we cook at home more than dine outside.  We only go out twice monthly sometime 3-4 depend on holiday occasion.

I started the Blood Diet (Eat Right 4 Your Type) almost 8 months ago, so I've had to get back to preparing all my meals at home...scratch cooking (my grandmama would call it).  Now fast food makes me feel sluggish.  It's not actually a diet.  It's a better way of eating for the rest of your life...good nutrition based on the enzymes in your blood and how it breaks down foods in your system.  Every blood type is different in it's complexity.  I've lost 53 lbs. so far, and all I've done is change the way I eat.

I much prefer making my own healthy comfort meals at home, occasionally id dine out but it sure is pricey these days and not really worth it.
