People seem to be taking it as given that "someone else preparing the food for you" == "the food is more likely to lead to weight gain".

Why should that be? Is it not possible to order healthy food in? If not this would surprise me as it seems a number of people would be seeking this.

I'm asking as I don't have personal experience.

Everyone lives and enjoy life as they choose as they should!

For those who are not interested cutting down daily on what they eat this data would not be valuable to them just as the data their phone captures now how many steps you walked in a day.

Myself I eat Cava bowls for lunch that are less then 600 calories, drink 70 percent water (not consuming calories from what I drink) and unsweet tea (zero calories in tea) with some lemonade to sweeten it a bit as the remainder. Other chains you can find similar meals that are less then 600. If you eat as such and keep at (change ur lifestyle for good) it some weight will be lost if the person wants to as well go for a walk on their lunch break. But again all about to how people want to live and enjoy their lives!

The ordering out tends to correlate with someone not having the energy or discipline to make what they want themselves. That lack of energy leads to caving on food cravings and overeating.

I recently switched from a major tech company to an academic position and lost 5 pounds in the first month. Simply due to lower stress making the healthy habits seem “easy.”
