No fancy tricks required.
To come to this conclusion, researchers looked to data from the 2007-2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from more than 9,000 participants aged 20 and older. Participants recorded total calories, grams of fat, sugar and carbohydrates per day, as well as how much fast food and frozen meals they ate. Turns out, the more often participants cooked at home, the fewer calories, grams of fat, and grams of sugar they consumed. To compare: The adults who cooked dinner no more than once a week consumed an average of 2,301 total calories, 84 grams of fat, and 135 grams of sugar per day—whereas those who cooked dinner six to seven times a week consumed 2,164 calories, 81 grams of fat, and 119 grams of sugar on an average day.
