I am saying that it's not healthy to eat out. Well, there may be a rare restaurant with clean food--I know one in particular. But especially when you are in the stage of releasing weight, it makes sense to control everything you put in your mouth so you know exactly what ingredients were used! And it's just not a good policy to eat out too often, even when you have reached your goal weight. It's too easy to consume more calories when you don't know what ingredients (or what amounts of them) were used.
