Is having 1 takeaway a week OK?

I can have sometimes a few times in the same week but then not have it for a few weeks so I think it evens out, correct me if Im wrong though. I think I had 1 meal outside this week. I want to try this place who I've not been to for age's but I'm thinking it's best to spread it out a bit and leave it till next week to be a bit healthier.

    I think that this is absolutely fine. If we're taking care of our bodies and eating balanced diets throughout the week, there is no problems in treating ourselves to a takeaway. Enjoy what you eat! :)

    I agree, I think it's fine as long as you're taking care of your body and yourself on the whole. I say have it whenever you feel its best for you and your body. You know yourself better than anyone else after all!

    I hope if/when you do have it, it's delicious and you enjoy it :3

    @Past User and @sinead276
    Thanks both of you, I feel better a bit about them. I think I take care of my body the rest of the week with a balanced diet like having healthier meals other days. I'll make sure I do enjoy it too whenever I do get it otherwise there's no point.

    @TheNightmarehe I don't think there is any harm as it sounds like you are aware of managing your takeaway intake. It's always nice to treat ourselves to good food- I love trying out new food places!

    @TheNightmare I think it's fine to get a takeaway once a week as a treat, it's not like it's excessive. We used to get takeaways every Saturday for a while so it's not uncommon! Especially if you're taking care of yourself I see no harm in it :)

    We always have takeaway as a treat each week so I'd say it's fine! We have takeaway every Wednesday as it's my dad's payday lol.

    @AnonymousToe seems like it's quite common and Im probably just overthinking it. Thanks for replying too.

    I agree it’s important to get the balance and i used to get at least 1 a week as well. Just make sure ur eating a balanced diet during the week and moving ie exercise or walking it doesn’t hv to be something big then its fine to enjoy what u want

    @ebyrne556 I'll make sure I balance it out my diet and all that. Weekly takeaways might be pretty common. Thanks for replying.
