    What a great thread...!

    I have been fast food free since July. Make no mistake, one can get fat not eating fast food just as easily as eating it. (Hello belly...)

    The side benefit has been that I feel much better not eating at those places cause the food quality is crappy.

    Slayerdan has some pretty good tips if you are gonna eat there.

    I think it's interesting how people talk about huge calorie counts at Subway. I don't think that everyone understands that a foot-long sandwich is definitely two sandwiches, not one. I always get the roasted chicken on whole wheat, so good!!

    I am eating fast food right now. Although, it is healthy.

    About half my meals come from fast food.

    If you research the nutrition info online, you can usually find 2-3 nuturitous options at most fast food places

    I've been a vegetarian so, (lucky me?) I won't deny myself pizza or subway though. xD Just one slice when I have and half a sandwich. :) (Just had subway today, too and it was great).

    I've been with MFP for 5 months now and, when I joined I was still eating Maccas, Red Rooster and KFC..But I stopped ages ago because of the calorie and salt content...About 2 months ago I had Red Rooster and was very sorry because of the chips and all the salt...It just tasted terrible...

    All I eat now is Subway and the only veggies I eat are carrot and lettuce...There is no other salad stuff there that I like. Now if they added beetroot..YUMMY....

    So, you could say that I am in......

    Also, no way could I give up my Coke Zero...It only has one calorie and I need a fizzy drink every now and then......

    yes i need to do this, it will force me to keep packing my grilled chicken and fruit/veggies for class. sometimes i forget and get a burger across from the school. eek, so hungry and tired when i am at school, i make bad choices since every one else is doing it. even a protein shake pack will be in my car at all times in case of emergencies. we work so hard to meet our goals to throw it away in a moment of weakness. as the quote goes, nothing tastes as good as thin (healthy) feels.

    I think a reasonable working definition of "fast food" might be anything you eat that makes you feel worse for having eaten it, instead of better.

    I have viewed to only eat out once a week. I work at a fast food joint and I'm a full time college kid, so giving up fast food entirely would be possible, but I'm going to starve myself if I forget to pack my lunch or something :-)

    Watch any of these documentaries, you might be able to find them on youtube, & it will definitely help you stay on track!

    This is so true. There is an agenda in the food industry and the focus is NOT your health and well being. These vidz are eye opening if nothing else.

    I boycotted Mcdonalds years ago. Now I only eat subway or the veggie/sandwich places in the mall.
    This is a great idea!
