The link did not show the article. Were they talking just dinner? If
so, the number seems a little high, but if you add in breakfast and
lunch, the number is easily believed.

As a couple, we have 21 meal opportunities a week. Typically, we eat
dinner out twice a week. Once at a nice restaurant, once at a modest
family place or fast food. On the weekend we have lunch out at least
once. Sometimes breakfast.

I take my lunch to work, but others eat out five days a week.
