Cooking at home more often leads to a healthier overall diet without significant cost increases, according to a University of Washington study. Researchers found that home-cooked meals are associated with greater dietary compliance with federal guidelines, offering a cost-effective strategy for healthier eating. “By cooking more often at home, you have a better diet at no significant cost increase, while if you go out more, you have a less healthy diet at a higher cost," the researchers said.
