Mr Pastry....Once in a while it is OK to use these outlets.
I cook from fresh every day....meat, veggies, everything from scratch. No packet meals, or takeaways.
If you only have them infrequently, then there is no harm.
And if you look on the menu there are healthier options to select from.

I pre-prepare stuff in my kitchen....I cook more than one dish at a time.....freezing some foods is how I can make economical dishes which makes the pension go a bit further.....and there is some evidence which suggests that frozen simple carbohydrates are digested like complex carbs, leading to a slower release of the energy and reducing the likelihood of spikes in blood sugar levels.
