    Had some delivery pizza last weekend, so if that counts it's the answer. It had been a few months prior to that though. Probably since a road trip Easter weekend.

    I had a 6 piece nuggets from McD's on Sunday. I am 100% well aware that they are deep fried beaks and a**holes and sawdust,

    You say that like it's a bad thing.

    Well, coming home from our camping trip this week we were starved and stopped at KFC... not a great choice but I was proud of my family once we got inside! The three of us shared a 3 piece meal... and didn't finish all the fries. Water to drink. So I guess we are all slowly starting to understand that changes need to be made. I have to admit, the days of each of us eating a 3 piece meal (plus another sandwich for my husband lol) are gone!

    Most of the time when we need 'fast food' we choose Subway. It's just as fast as anything (the one in my town has a drive thru even) and is SO much more satisfying and much healthier.

    It's been 2 or 3 weeks and let's just say I'll never get a McD's cheeseburger again. Not a pleasant afternoon...

    Had a Grilled Chicken Bacon Ranch Salad from McDonalds two nights ago... However, I replaced the Ranch dressing with the Low Cal Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing - knocked at least 60 calories off! Yum!!!

    2 days ago I stopped in at pollo tropical - the half chicken was calling my name! Depending on what u get, it barely qualifies as fast food though. I keep fast food runs to maybe 2x a month.

    I get cravings for taco bell as well, though I haven't eaten there for at least a couple months. A burrito is sounding good!

    I occasionally get a veggie sandwich from Subway, but otherwise I haven't had fast food since... November? Wow, I guess that's right. It's doable!

    I wish I could say it's been a long time, but the truth is I still eat fast food several times per week, and really haven't ever stopped. The difference is that I almost never get fries, or ice cream, or sodas anymore. I just eat less than I used to. Just like I do with 'slow' food :)

    I drive thru McDonalds and get a coffee every couple days. Other than that I am just a big pizza junkie!

    I've been jonesing for a Wendy's bacon cheeseburger with their barbecue sauce lately. But I haven't had fast food in a month? Maybe more. I'm trying to remember when I tried McD's egg white breakfast sandwich, but it wasn't very memorable!

    In fairness, my husband hates fast food, so it's really only an option when I'm on my own . I can't decide if that's good or bad.

    Currently eating fast food......Jimmy John's to be exact. I'm always on the go, and I'm not good at planning ahead. So my dinners and many lunches often end up being fast food. But I'm usually good about making the wisest choices possible.

    Jimmy John's #6 EZ or no mayo
    Burger King grilled chicken apple cranberry salad with light honey balsamic
    QuikTrip Santa Fe salad (no tortillia strips)
    McDonald's grilled chicken snack wraps

    and a McDonald's Mac Snack Wrap when I'm feeling naughty

    Look at my food diary for yesterday and judge all you want. I had fast food for all three meals yesterday. NO, that is not normal, but there are times that I can't avoid it with 4 kids, a husband, full time job, and 800 activities... But I still managed to stay WAY under my calories yesterday... blew some of my other macros, but it was one day...

    In general, I eat fast food about 5 days a week for at least 1 meal. However, I try really hard to make my FF choices healthier than most.

    I havnt had any in months! When I did have some I tried subway! I was so DISSAPOINTED! The mushrooms were rubbery and the veggies were salty and not so fresh...the meat was par at best..... i geuss my standards have risen since dieting lol.....but i USED to love me sum subway!

    Everytime somebody mentions Subway, I remember about eighteen months ago when I asked for a cheese and salad baguette.

    ONE square of cheese cut into two triangles and tons of lettuce made up this baguette. The cheese didn't even meet in the middle for crying out loud and when I asked for more cheese, their answer was "that will be another 40p" to which I pointed out the distinct lack of cheese in much of the baguette which was displaying copious amounts of lettuce.

    But no, "take it or leave it" was their answer to which I replied I would leave it thanks very much

    They didn't like that and said I couldn't do that, no word of a lie when I replied "watch me" and walked out.

    I have not been back and will not be going back either, bloody take-on that they are!

    If you count Max Brenner as fast food, yes, I seem to live on that stuff. But others? I had a cheese and steak subway a couple of weeks ago, but only cause I got a voucher. At some point I went to Pancake Parlour, but only cause of a uni event. And I very occasionally buy something from McDonald's haha

    Probably around 2003 or 2004. So about 9 or 10 years.

    Unless we are counting subway and chipotle, in which case I have it about once every couple of months. I'm vegan so when I'm taking a road trip and need to stop for food, they are easy to find of the side of the freeway and a sure bet they they will have something vegan. I don't really consider a veggi sandwich or rice and beans burrito to be fast food.

    I'm not trying to boast, I'm just saying that it can be done. Once you change your habits and stop thinking of it as an option, it is really not hard.

    Man, I can't even remember, though it hasn't been too long, I just can't remember. And it's not by choice, I eat what I want, but you know, that money stuff, tends to get in the way.
