For some types of takeout food (like Thai, Chinese, Italian), steam a bunch of frozen veggies to mix to the dishes in when you get home. There's usually enough sauce. Healthier and cheaper meal. Or eat a big veggie tray before going out and then share three entrees for a family of four. There may still be leftovers at some restaurants.

Why? Because you lack self control? Because you envy people who can eat more than you? Restaurant food, like many other things, isn’t about “need,” it is about freedom of choice.

Because then I could pay less.

Rather they’ll charge the same and give less
