My coworkers want to eat out all the time

Need advice FAST (have to handle this situation tomorrow!).

My coworkers LOVE to eat lunch out together. I'm not fond of the concept, partly because my blood sugar dictates that I eat small snacks periodically through the day (not one big lunch at one sitting) and my IBS makes it a lot easier for me to bring my lunch, containing what I know I am comfortable eating.

What's the best way to handle frequent "team lunches" (where you kind of HAVE to go, or look like a jerk), in restaurants? I want to just carry in my food, but I never know how the restaurant will deal with that and I don't want to embarrass my team. On the other hand -- I really just want them to stop inviting me, and understand that I cannot physically handle these lunches.

What's the most tactful but effective way?
