A single friend and I were talking about this recently, lamenting
our miserable eating habits. We hit upon a solution that we have not
been able to implement, since we live 500 miles apart, but here it
is anyway:

You need at least one *close* friend who also lives near by. The
operative definition of 'close', in this case, is someone you like
to see on a very regular basis, and someone you trust. 

You each choose one evening a week when you will prepare dinner for
two, and so you may eat at your friend's house on Monday nights, and
you may have your friend over for dinner on Thursdays.  You could do
this with more people, but personally, I would not want more than
three in the group.
  
Some advantages:
     1) If you tend to be a workaholic, at least two nights a week
        you have a good reason to drag your rear end home on time.
     
     2) At least two nights a week, you have a high probability of eating
        something for dinner besides cold Cheerios.

Best regards,
