Home cooking includes shopping and clean-up. It would be hard to figure out the exact average time costs per meal, but it isn’t nothing. When you’re waiting at a restaurant, you can read.
At least some of these costs can be reddemed by listening to podcasts. I often find myself going on hour long walks while listening to podcasts for the sole reason that walking around listening to podcasts is more enjoyable than sitting down while listening to podcasts; more productive uses of my time (for example cooking) might be able to increase value.

Not needing to do the cleaning up is pretty much the only reason for going out other than variety, for me.
