Unfortunatley I resort to fast food more often than I'd like due to my hectic schedule (single mom of active boy!) and long work hours. I've been making better choices (such as happy meal size rather than supersize meals!) and I've been staying within my alotted calories, fat grams, etc. Do y'all think that's okay or not good?

    As long as you are logging the calories and are under I don't see a huge deal with it.
    You can even make things better by loading up on the veggies and avoiding the fries. There are also plenty of "fast food" places that are not your typical burger joints, like Subway and Togos. It is even easier to load up on veggies that you may be missing out on eating burgers.

    I don't see a big deal with fast food in moderation - the same with anything, and it's great that you're making better choices.

    'Better choices' is my motto for my own weight loss. I'm never going to be the type of person to eat a salad for lunch and have a handful of almonds whenever I'm hungry, but going to a Happy Meal instead of a big meal or picking a sandwich over a burger is something I can manage.

    If you need to eat fast food sometimes, I say that's fine - just consider your choices and see if you COULD be having something better without sacrificing too much.
