In other words your although usually he eats out... isn't very natural. I wouldn't say it's ungrammatical though. If you did come across it you might well find the usually between commas, which indicates it is not in it's normal place. NB many people think although is really a preposition. If you replace it with and or but, you can certainly put the adverb between the conjunction and the subject, e.g. he's not here much - he works long hours, and he usually eats out he's quite a good cook actually, but he usually eats out.
