Agreed, I personally CAN'T eat rich huge meals every day any more anyway. And even if you're not going out, you don't have to cook, per se. There are plenty of places to pick up a quick, pre made sandwich or some cheese and bread, etc., to take to the beach for lunch, or a rotisserie chicken with salad for dinner. Or go to a high end place for LUNCH, which is often much cheaper, and then have a lighter dinner.
