    Not since 1/1/2013 when I joined MFP. I do have pizza, but I make my own and its a dough free recipe.

    About 3 weeks. We were on vacation for 2 weeks, so we stopped at a few places.. Before that I am not sure. We rarely eat out and when we do I prefer having something other than McDonalds.

    A few weeks ago I had a Subway Oven Roasted Chicken Breast sub. A few months ago I tried one of the new flat bread wraps from Wendy's that tasted so nasty. Everyone I talked to said they didn't care for them either.

    I really don't count Subway as fast food when I get one of the low fat options, have only mustard for a sauce and skip the chips and soda. As far as other places, I've had fast food less than 5 times in 2013.

    I have to be honest I had taco bell the other day but I did have it fresco style which helps with calories...I have been bringing extra healthy snacks and turkey to eat on my way home instead of stopping off at fast food places, it helps money wise and calorie wise...my drive is 45 minutes one way and I pass quite a few fast food places but if I eat right before leaving work or in the car on the way home I'm good...taco bell was a treat for my youngest daughter:)

    I really don't eat any fast food! I don't trust the cooks and the maintenance of the fast food joints. Once in a while I will order a pizza from pizzahut and that is only if I don't feel like cooking. I know the people there too so I know that I am getting good food. lol
  • Monday I had arby's and yeasterday I had burger king. I eat FF two or three times a week. Been maintaining for two years and I have been able to control my health issues completely with diet and exercise and yes that includes fast food.

    What do you fry your fried chicken in?

    multiple times a week unfortunately. However, as some have stated, I still make sure I'm at a caloric deficit. It really hasn't hampered my progress. I'm still getting stronger, and leaner. However, if I ate cleaner, I'm sure the result would be even better. That said, a burger sounds great right now!!

    I haven't had fast food in over a year! June 12th was my anniversary...how strange it is to celebrate little things like this now that I have changed my way of life. I know it would be ok to have it once in a while, but with me, one meal is ok, then two is fine, and before you know it, I'm back at the beginning, so I have decided....no more fast food! I went out of town with friends last week and they stopped at McDonalds for breakfast. I let myself have orange juice but would not let myself give in to the bacon egg and cheese biscuit that I really wanted. I used to have to go to my dad's house on the other side of town on the weekends until after they stopped serving breakfast, and twice in the past month, I have been able to go inside and not succumb to the temptation.

    More than 24 hours, which might be the longest I've gone without fast food in many months.

    I did however have a 2000 calorie dinner of cheese fondue with beer and fish & chips tonight.

    About 2 hours ago- cant beat the convenience when you are starving after a long work day and then graduation ceremony. I chose as well as I thought I could- premium grilled chicken ranch wrap. It was good! Probably should of held the ranch but I was still within calories today. Sodium not so much.

    Went to Subway for dinner last Friday.

    If Subway doesn't count I went to Chick Fil A and had a chargrilled sandwich over Memorial Day weekend.

    Saturday~Little Caesars
    Monday~McDonald's
    Tuesday~Quiznos

    And so on and so forth :) I usually eat fast food a couple times a week. I just don't eat as much in a sitting as I used to, and I plan what I'm going to get ahead of time so I can fit it in.

    Not tonight. I went low and slow for some good BBQ, a couple of IPAs, blackberry cobbler and a bite of key lime pie. Oh, and bourbon.
  • Subway yesterday for dinner - I had 800 calories to spare and I've been going over budget on food a lot recently, so the $5 footlong was a nice change :)

    You all are awesome and my hero's. I need to quit the fast food junk. I do it for convenience with the kids...I try to make healthy choices but it's still junk.

    In the last 3 months, I've had Wendy's, a local chili place, and Chipotle each once. I've also only had soda twice, both times with fast food.

    Forgot to bring my lunch to work today so got a Roast Beef from Potbelly Sandwich Works. Before that, I had Fuddruckers (elk burger with pepper jack and jalapenos) a week ago for the wife's b-day.

    On average I have fast food about once or twice a month.

    I have not had fast food or soda since August of 2012, unless you count salad from Subway. I have only had that twice though.

    Last time I had fast food was on Monday. I was kinda craving for a Whopper.
