We try to get healthy things and know they costs are a little bit higher than if we cook ourselves, but it is what makes her happy. You know a happy wife makes for a happy life, and we can afford to do it, so we just eat takeout. She also has a friend who does meals for a living, so she will order the Filipino food from her which has portions large enough for 2-3 meals for her or 2 meals for me if her friend cooks what I like. She eats little amounts at a time such as one Wendy's Grilled Chicken Sandwich would be two different meals for her, so in the long run it really doesn't cost that much more than if we cooked ourselves.

Now to get back on topic, last night we had

Wendy's Grilled Chicken Sandwich for my wife with a bottle of Ensure Vanilla protein drink
Left over Salad from Olive Garden that I added cheese and bacon bits along with Ranch Dressing instead of their classic dressing for me
1/2 of a Wendy's double stack plain with a half scoop of kibble for Bayani
