    Fast food gets eaten when people either don't cook at home.

    Sometimes I get busy during the week, and don't have time to prepare a lunch to take to work. In that case, I eat out, and since I have to be back at my desk within a half hour, I get whatever is quick.

    There are still lots of healthy options on fast food menus. For example, chili, salads, veggies, grilled chicken, fruit cups.... it doesn't have to be fried food or contain weird preservatives.

    We were on a road trip and ate at BK.
    my 17 yr old son had a hamburger with onion rings and chicken nuggets on it....Oh to be 17 again! But I am not sure how he unhinged his jaw enough to eat it.

    *sigh*

    well.. ok.

    I guess i'm bad.

    sorry for posting something i was thinking about.

    and sorry it came off like i was holier then thou or something.

    not my intention.

    You stated your opinion, how is that bad? Did you come across too strong? Maybe. I choose to not eat at fast food joints. I will occasionally bring my 2 girls to burger king so they can have their chicken fries but I will not partake.

    A grilled chicken sandwich with honey mustard and a small chili from Wendy's is 600 calories. Not a bad option for someone who works 55 hours a week. Chicken is chicken. Just sayin'.

    OP, I get what you're saying. I used to eat a lot of fast food until health and budget concerns changed that. Now I rarely eat it, but when I do, I'm unbelievably thirsty and feel like I have a brick in my stomach all day. It fills me up, but I don't feel as satisfied from it as when I cook something myself. Do I still eat it sometimes? Of course I do. And some of it tastes pretty darn good. But knowing how it will make me feel later makes me think twice about grabbing for it. Just my choice.

    everything on a fast food menu has weird preservatives. you're fooling yourself.

    also, most of you responding in this thread are acting like total d-bags.

    irony.

    I love McDonalds, especially the chicken wraps. They're energizing.

    I like to stay positive so here's what I think. :wink:

    I'm a whopper kind of girl. And I'll always be a whopper kind of girl. Every person out there has at least one bad habit, right? So whoppers are mine. A girl I used to work with runs marathons and she averages 7-8 minutes per mile. And she smokes like crazy! She's been smoking for years, and she's been running for years. And she looks GREAT! She's 35 and when I first saw her, I thought she was 22 like me! Not promoting smoking... I'm just saying we've all got bad habits.

    So once or twice a month, I'll treat myself to a whopper with extra onions and pickles. And no, I will not feel bad. I keep track of every calorie that goes into my body and I'll make adjustments on those "whopper days." And if I have to, I'll run a few extra laps.

    Anyway, just because you've got one or two...or ten bad habits doesn't mean you won't amount to anything or that you can't achieve what others can.

    And yes, you should be proud of yourself for not eating fast food. I knew some girls who boasted about it often... Yeah, we don't hang out. :tongue:

    Good luck with everyone's fitness goals! :smile:

    To borrow a line out of an 1980's era movie: "Fast food, it speeds your way to the grave!!!" On July 1, 2011, my eating fast food almost killed me.

    That is why I have stayed away from that junk ever since.

    Also, I do not struggle with fast food, if I want it, I eat it. No struggle here.

    You, sir, are an incredibly lucky man. I hope you know that.
