I pack a meal for a few reasons.

1. I am extremely cheap/thrifty
2. I eat much healthier when I pack. My wife cooks a main course with vegetables and a side and then vacuum seals and freezes it. We typically use lower fat and more natural ingredients and it helps in the long run.
3. Convenience. I have my food with me and all the outstations typically have a nuker to heat up my food when I want it.

Financially between my wife and I we could afford for me to eat out every meal but who would want to. Most of the CAs I fly with spend over 100 dollars per trip on food.
