I prefer dining in because of the following three reasons.
First, dining in is cheaper than eating out. Just think about how much we have to pay at a restaurant. Actually, a restaurant has to hire cooks, waiters and waitresses. Also, they have to buy the plates, cups and sauces. On a contrary, at home, you have only to buy food you eat.
Second, dining in is healthy. People often point out that we can hardly eat sufficient amount of vegetables at a restaurant. For instance, at Yoshinoya, a beef bawl shop, you can order salad, but vegetables are limited and sometimes taste salty. If you dine in at home, you may eat whatever you want. I believe we can enjoy healthier food at home.
Finally, dining in keeps you refreshed. Sometimes you concentrate on something for a long time..on your work, on your hobby and so on. When you are tired of it, you can cook for a change of pace. Thinking about what to cook, cutting vegetables and setting table makes you refreshed and relaxed. I know many people enjoy cooking as a hobby.
As aforementioned, I think dining in is more advantageous than eating out.
