This paper investigates the determinant factors of the consumption decision of food away from home for different categories of food in Brazil. Precisely, the variables that can influence this consumption are analyzed, since food away from home has presented a growing share of Brazilian consumers’ diet. The results indicate that the variables of income, of women’s opportunity cost of time and others that capture changes in time constraint in households are important to explain the decision of consumption of food away from home in the Brazilian case.
