If eating out is important to you, consider asking a trusted friend or family member to help you prepare lunch and snacks at home. Many smaller restaurants also offer free food now and then. Money goes towards serving yourself vegetables and dressing up. Don't tell people you have plans. Pay special attention to the quality of your food, however. If you really aren't hungry, skip out of restaurants. When you're eating out on a small budget, fast food is your best bet. Although it is less healthy than other options, you will get a lot more calories for each dollar you spend.
