Hey guys..
I am just crazy about having food in some hotels. I love those. Thats mainly because we were restricted to get food from restaurants right from our childhood. We used to go once or twice in an year. One is for my parent's anniversary. And the other is not sure, may or may not go. Hehe. So we will be eagerly waiting for the anniversary. But now as we are grown ups, we are allowed to have outside foods. Now I am allowed to have it once in 2 weeks. 
How about you people??? Is that good for health??

When i was a kid my parents didn't know how to cook so my house keeper usually cooked my breakfast and lunch but when it came to dinner time, my family and I always ate out. or suffer hunger or we'd try to cook something which always failed and just ordered in

When I had my first apt we had a pizza shop right down the street . somehow my fiance and me got hooked there and ate there /ordered in a few times a week . Funny thing is I was still able to lose weight , which is odd for me and junk food.

Hello,Vidyavini! Probably for the last time I had taken my lunch and dinner about tweny four years back in a hotel when I was out of home on official duty.I don't prefer the restaurant foods.In my family none of my daughters prefer to take meals out side home.The restaurant foods are prepared in a unhygienic condition and they never look in to the nutritional aspects of the foods for which people who eat these foods suffer from stomach problems.thanx.

I guess once in a while is okay for me. If it becomes a habit, then I think it's not healthy anymore especially if it's fast food. Food these days have so many artificial flavoring and seasoning that's really bad for your body especially if you eat out a lot. For me I think it really depends on the food that you eat even if you eat out.

Outside food is not healthy at all. Many star hotel foods are only creating food poisoning, whereas small hotel foods are good in some way because they will sell the foods immediately and will not keep in fridge and fresh food only will only be available.

Thats not true. Ya I do agree that they don't preserve foods. But the quality will be better in star hotels. Atleast the plates that we eat and the cups will be clean. You can't expect that in small hotels.

I used to go several times a week, but since moving, I don't really have the money to do that. Now we go maybe one time a week.
I don't see why eatting out would be bad for your health. If you eat bad, sure, but you can choose healthy food even in a restaurant.

We go 8 times a month..almost exactly. hubby, my son and myself, go for dinner on Friday nights, and then Sat or Sun morning we go out to breakfast. On occasion i will go to a restaraount with my friends but that usually isnt more than once a month if at all in a month.

We have no set schedules in eating out. Once we are in the mall and started to feel hungry then we eat. There is nothing wrong in eating out because food serve are same with what you cook at home. It still depends to where you are to go and what food you will order. And it is not from time to time that nutrients needed by the body is eliminated in doing it so.

hai vidhya
from my point of view hotel food is acceptable but why many parents oppose that bcoz they might think in restaurants they use ttooo much oil,and reheating many times and that may not suit for younger kids thats why they make it a practise honestly till my schoolings i was not allowed to eat outside
but now iam a chef and i wont do that for my kids in future
in home u wont get all varieties but in hotel u can get

Yup. Ya you need not allow your kids to restaurant. But as a chef you will can do it at home itself. So no prob for your kids. Lol.

we don't actually count how many times we go to the restaurant every week or month... whenever i have extra money, we just eat outside... but mostly in food court... not an expensive restaurant... we have a very tight budget and we just can't afford to eat out that often... we prefer to eat at home anyway... take care and have a nice day...

I like to go to restaurants as much as possible. I think the only problem with thatis that alot of times restaurant food is more fattening. it is also more expensive, so you are going to pay quite a bit of money for the privilige of eating there unless you are going to McDonalds or Burger King or even Subway is not too expensive.

I go to restaurant 2 or 3 times a month. I go there becuse I invite my friend to dinner or they invite me. I never go to restaurant myself becasue I don't want to waste money. There is no difference between the dishes in a restaurant or at home to me. But it is common in China to show respect to your friends. So I have to go to restaurant sometimes.

hello, i am going to the restaurant sometimes five days a week or sometimes three days in a week.. i have office works and at dinner i dont have time too cook and i will eat to the restaurant instead. the health issue on the food that you eat outside your house is depending in what you take. me, when i go to the restaurant i always have healthy food like vegetable salad... i only eat steak from a restaurant twice a week for dinner

I am crazy about food, too. I like eating in restaurant, so does my wife. We go to restuarant very often I mean every week or so.

I actually go once maybe twice a week. Before you say that it is a health concern we go to some healthy places like chapolte (sorry I dont know how to spell it).
