    Probably 5-guys. I like In-and-Out but there's none anywhere near me.

    I frequent Chipotle the most because it's easiest to fit into my macros and still satisfy me.

    5 Guys for me too.
    And there's a local burger joint by me that called Juicy Burgers - BIG juicy grilled burgers, and they also have sweet potato fries.

    I have not had any fast food except Subway veggie delite on 9-grain wheat since I began MFP almost 6 months ago.

    Pre-MFP my fav was Culvers.

    In-n-Out Burger (best/freshest burgers), or any taco shop that ends in "to's" (Alberto's, Humberto's, Roberto's, etc.). +1 to what Sidesteel said about Chipotle - and fortunately, we finally have one opening in our town in a few weeks!

    5 Guys makes me weak. I love the burgers because they taste pretty home cooked. Those fries are amazing as well. The place would be complete if they sold milkshakes too. I fell in love with in and out when I visited Los Angeles in 09. Everything was amazing. I am going to Vegas in 2 weeks and that is on the agenda for sure.

    I used to love taco bell. I don't know I just loved the tacos and burritos. The taste. I have not had fast food in years though. I don't even crave it. I'd rather make my own tacos at home now and they taste far better. I pretty much pack my food now, it just tastes better.

    Wendy's love the spicy chicken sandwich but hate their fries. I like McDonald's fries. I eat fast food one day/month. Moderation is the key. I gained all of my weight eating fast food every day.

    Don't eat it anymore, ever. Cook at home from scratch.

    Wendy's. I like the variety in sides they offer, and come on, they have a sandwich called the Baconator. How can you NOT love that?

    Always wanted to try Chiptole, but we don't have that around here or 5 Guys or In & Out


    I'd have to go with Fazoli's for cheap, easy Italian food when I need a fix and don't want to make a pot of sauce.

    Rallys/Checkers for their fries.

    Culvers has hamburgers and frozen yogurt. They call them butter burgers, because they are cooked in butter. They are a chain fast food restaurant started in Wisconsin. They really are the best burgers from a fast food place I have ever had. The french fries aren't the best though.

    McDonald's. Why? Those fries and nuggets are just sinfully good.

    There is a pizza place here in Atlanta that was started in Chicago with deep dish pizza. I would rather eat that than have sex. Its amazing!!!!

    Taco Bell. I don't eat meat so I can just substitute beans for the beef with pretty much anything on the menu. More options for me than most fast food places. Love the mexican pizzas. Might go once a month or so.

    Used to be Chic-Fil-A. Something about the butter on their buns and putting pickles with chicken breast. Yum. I haven't had fast food in so long!

    Chipotle, for me. Every other fast food chain is pretty "meh" to me nowadays.

    I actually dont like the baconator. It was gross but I do like their food.
