In my perfect world, I don't spend so much time or money eating at restaurants. I become a vegetarian, buy healthy and organic food and cook it at home. And, when I eat too much, I hop on the elliptical machine and work it off.

But who am I kidding? Some days, I eat two or three meals a day at restaurants, and they're not always the healthiest. Thus, I submit my five most guilty dining pleasures for your ridicule and amusement:

1. Serving size: When I go to a restaurant, I'm on a "see food" diet. When I see food, I eat it. I once thought I was doing the right thing by studying up on the nutritional info on the chicken Szechwan stir fry at Chin's Asia Fresh ... that's until I learned that each plate contained two servings. Come on, that's just not fair.
2. Bagels: I could eat them every meal of the day, seven days a week. Fortunately, I've curbed my addiction and only indulge in a bagel and cream cheese on weekends, if that frequently. But with a strong, black cup of coffee, no rounded mound of carbs could be finer.
3. Taco Bell: What can I say? I like T-Bell. Yes, I like real Mexican food more. But I stop at Taco Bell almost every time I pass. Grilled stuffed burritos, quesadillas, nachos, you name it. Guilty as charged.
4. Qdoba / Chipotle: (See Taco Bell ... but with 1,400 calories and 50 grams of fat.)
5. More coffee than any man, woman or child could need: I could just drink it in the office, too. But my morning routine isn't complete without a quick run to Whole Foods or Alterra with a colleague. It's such a great way to start the day, and it shakes the cobwebs from my sleepy head. But it also becomes a law of diminishing returns. Too much java makes me shaky and worthless, and probably isn't terribly healthy, either.
