A cross-sectional study on 468 males (aged 20-59) was conducted to investigate the relationship between their dietary characteristics and frequency of eating out. The frequency of eating out was categorized into three groups, namely ≥1 time per day, 2-6 times per week, and ≤1 time per week. The effect of nutritional labeling on the subjects' dietary awareness when eating out was also investigated. Those with a high eating-out frequency tended to have significantly more undesirable dietary habits. This was evident from the lower averages of three ratings, i. e., the balance score, vegetable score, and dietary habit score. These three scores were improved in the group with an eating-out frequency of ≥2 times per week when the subjects paid attention to and used nutrition labels. On the other hand, such an improvement was not clearly evident for those who had a low eating-out frequency. The use of nutritional labeling was therefore found to be effective for improving the general dietary habits of those whose eating-out frequency was high.
