For what it's worth, $240/mo would be okay(on the high end, but not insane if that involves lots of healthy stuff and not garbage) for groceries alone, but it's a lot when you're also eating out all the time(it may not feel like 'all the time' to you, but people tend to surround themselves with people with similar spending habits, which makes it easier for them to justify bad habits). Is a lot of your 'food' money actually going to drinks? Booze is a quick way to make a meal out way more expensive than it has to be. Non-alcoholic drinks are cheaper, but they're still not free. You don't have to go teetotaler or only ever order water, but be aware of how much money you're spending on drinks. Do you eat your leftovers? The average restaurant meal is 2-3 times as much food as one person needs, so if you're not taking part of it home with you & you eat out a ton, you're either wasting a lot of food(and money by extension) or slowly going  . And leftovers are part of what makes cooking at home so economical - you put in the labor to make a big batch of something, and then you have leftovers you can just pop in the microwave over the next couple days or freeze and take out when you're too lazy to cook.
