The main reason is not up for debate. That anyone might think it is the ONLY reason is also not up for debate because thinking as much is both ignorant and wrong.
It's really, really simple - everything in moderation, including moderation.
I try to keep to one take away a week, beer and wine 2-3 nights max. Most of my meals are freshly cooked, I avoid ready meals.
Breakfast and lunch is where I make the real difference in calories. I don't have time to enjoy breakfast with kids running about the place, so I just have porridge - no point wasting calories if I can't enjoy it anyway. If I'm eating in the office then I make sure I have a healthy sandwich (something like ham & mustard), and lots of fruit.
I stay active running about with my kids and I do some weight work once or twice a week. No need for any exercise outside of that. I walk around my factories for at least half of each work day, so I'm rarely sedentary.
That all leaves me able to eat what I like when I eat out. It's quite easy really - being in control of one's own mind and actions is all it's down to.

Appreciate your answer. Responses below within your post but boldfaced.

I agree with this for the average person. Absolutely.
I try to keep to one take away a week, beer and wine 2-3 nights max. Most of my meals are freshly cooked, I avoid ready meals.
That one take away is a ready meal in my book, so intrigued as to what you mean when you say you 'avoid' them. Are you saying you only have fresh cooked meals made from Whole Foods? Do you cook fresh meals using any processed foods i.e. packaged pasta? If you don't mind me asking, what's your carb/protein ratio?
Breakfast and lunch is where I make the real difference in calories. I don't have time to enjoy breakfast with kids running about the place, so I just have porridge - no point wasting calories if I can't enjoy it anyway. If I'm eating in the office then I make sure I have a healthy sandwich (something like ham & mustard), and lots of fruit.
Interesting. There are several theories on the importance of breakfast (some say it is the basis, others think it best to go light). I adhere to the 'important meal' theory thus salmon and eggs with one slice of sprouted brown bread. Is your porridge steel-cut or the Quaker crap?
I stay active running about with my kids and I do some weight work once or twice a week. No need for any exercise outside of that. I walk around my factories for at least half of each work day, so I'm rarely sedentary.
This is a fine example of you not appreciating your metabolism. To remain fit and healthy, I do three Orange Theory sessions a week, play football once a week and do 2 miles a day at least with the dog. The days of kids keeping me running around on my legs are done, the youngest (16) keeps me running around in my car!!!!!
That all leaves me able to eat what I like when I eat out. It's quite easy really - being in control of one's own mind and actions is all it's down to.
Again, for me this shows a general lack of appreciation of your metabolism. I agree, control of one's own mind and actions is very important in all matters, especially diet. If you want to eat Mars bars and chips whilst loafing on the couch, well, yes, you will be a lardy-lard-lardo. But there are people for whom the equation is not nearly as binary due to inherited genetics (slower metabolisms, pre-existing conditions). Plus some people are simply bigger (or smaller) than others.
Personally, I think a key way to ascertain if someone is unfit or unhealthy is to look at their skin. It tells you a lot. Go one, have some fun with that one

The FBI has released a newly declassified document that looks into connections between Saudi citizens in the US and two of the 9/11 attackers.
Relatives of victims have long urged the release of the files, arguing Saudi officials had advance knowledge but did not try to stop the attacks.
But the document provides no evidence that the Saudi government was linked to the 9/11 plot.
Fifteen of the 19 plane hijackers were Saudi nationals.
Ahead of the declassification, the Saudi embassy in Washington welcomed the release and once again denied any link between the kingdom and the hijackers, describing such claims as "false and malicious".
The document was declassified on the 20th anniversary of the deadliest terror attacks on US soil - almost 3,000 people were killed after four planes were hijacked - and is the first of several expected to be released.
Some families of the victims had put pressure on President Joe Biden to declassify the documents, saying he should not attend Saturday's commemoration ceremonies in New York if he was not prepared to release them
This 16-page FBI document is still heavily redacted. It is based on interviews with a source whose identity is classified (listed as PII) and outlines contacts between a number of Saudi nationals and two of the hijackers, Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Midhar.
The hijackers posed as students to enter the US in 2000. The FBI memo says they then received significant logistical support from Omar al-Bayoumi, who witnesses said was a frequent visitor to the Saudi Consulate in Los Angeles despite his official status at the time as a student.
Mr Bayoumi, the source tells the FBI, had "very high status" at the consulate.
"Bayoumi's assistance to Hamzi and Midha included translation, travel, lodging and financing," the memo said.
The FBI document also says there were links between the two hijackers and Fahad al-Thumairy, a conservative imam at the King Fahad Mosque in Los Angeles. He was described by sources as "having extremist beliefs".
Both Mr Bayoumi and Mr Thumairy left the US weeks before the 9/11 attacks, according to the AP news agency.
The agency also quoted Jim Kreindler, a lawyer for the relatives of 9/11 victims, as saying that the released document did "validate the arguments we have made in the litigation regarding the Saudi government's responsibility for the 9/11 attacks".
Last month, a lawsuit launched by relatives saw several top former Saudi officials questioned under oath.
The administrations of George W Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump all declined to declassify the documents, citing national security concerns.
But Joe Biden last week ordered a review of investigative documents, telling officials to release what they could over the next six months.
There has long been speculation of official Saudi links to the plot, given the number of Saudi nationals involved and al-Qaeda leaders Osama Bin Laden's Saudi background.
However, the 9/11 commission report found no evidence to implicate the Saudi government or senior officials.
The US and Saudi Arabia have long been allies, although the relationship has at times been difficult.
Donald Trump strengthened ties but Joe Biden called Saudi Arabia "a pariah" for its part in the gruesome murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Turkey.
The BBC's Frank Gardner says Mr Biden has since softened his stance towards most powerful man in Saudi Arabia, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, reflecting the hard reality of the importance of the alliance.

The prematch minute of silence yesterday was described on BT as to mark the tragedy of 9/11.
It wasn't a tragedy, it was an atrocity.

Coverage of this is now hitting the mainstream media.
It's a heart-breaking and sickening sight.
There are arguments being made around tradition, culture, as well as a need for food, but the sheer scale of this massacre is just horrendous, unjustifiable and apparently unauthorised due to the size of the pod.
The video posted on this site shows the dolphins being herded to the shore, then effectively suffocating because there are not enough people there to kill them.

Where's the front page outrage the day after?
Where's the Duchess?
Only reason it's now making news is because people of colour have had to shout from the rooftops.

Makes my blood boil, how is brick like this allowed !!!
The elder brother of the Manchester Arena bomber has been accused of "laughing in the face" of a public inquiry he had been ordered to attend.
Ismail Abedi, 28, has refused to answer questions from the inquiry, which is investigating every aspect of the 2017 bombing, in case he incriminates himself.
It emerged this week he had left the UK ahead of his appearance in court.
Chairman, Sir John Saunders, had demanded he appear as a witness.
Twenty-two people were killed and hundreds more injured when Salman Abedi detonated a bomb at the end of an Ariana Grande concert on 22 May 2017.
Ismail Abedi left the UK on a flight to the Middle East, the BBC understands.
The parents of bomb victims Liam Curry and Chloe Rutherford said they were "incredibly frustrated" that he had failed to attend.
In a statement, Caroline Curry and Mark and Lisa Rutherford said: "Learning that he was allowed to leave the country by Greater Manchester Police is very difficult to accept, especially with such an important witness, who is in a unique position to provide evidence that would hopefully lead to lessons being learnt about his brother's radicalisation.
"Answers are urgently needed so that we can understand how this was allowed to happen."
'Gravest concerns'
Speaking on the day when he was due to attend the hearing, Paul Greaney QC, counsel to the inquiry, said Ismail Abedi "has been able to flee and effectively laugh in the face of the inquiry" and added that such a thing should not be able to happen again.
"No-one should think the story is over so far as Ismail Abedi is concerned," he added.
Mr Greaney said Mr Abedi's lawyers had written to the inquiry with a "self-serving and frankly quite disgraceful statement" that made plain he had decided not to come and answer questions.
The court was told that he was stopped by police trying to leave the UK on 28 August, that he was questioned and subsequently missed his flight.
He told officers he intended to return to Britain but then returned to the airport the next day and was able to leave.
The inquiry found out about his departure on 31 August, meaning it could not attempt to use legal powers to stop him leaving.
Sir John said he wanted to know from Greater Manchester Police in detail about what happened, but said he did not want to "rush to judgement".
"We all wanted him to be here to answer questions," he said.
Duncan Atkinson QC, representing several bereaved families, said they "have the very gravest of concerns and the most extreme sense of frustration that this has occurred".
He added that the relevant powers under the inquiries act provisions may not be "fit for purpose".
Last year the BBC located the 28-year-old in Manchester, where he still lived, and challenged him on his refusal to assist.
Salman Abedi's younger brother Hashem Abedi was jailed last year after being convicted of murdering all those who died in the arena bombing.
Salman and Hashem had spent months preparing the attack - buying bomb-making chemicals, transporting their purchases around Manchester and renting a flat to make explosives.
The inquiry continues.

Seeing as we don't have a Good news in the world thread, this seems a relevant place to post the news that the 4 year girl who was abducted from her tent three weeks ago has been found alive. 36 year man in custody. No point in speculating but needless to say he has some questions to answer;
