    I love Five Guys but grabbed a small burger at Wendy's the other week and decided it really didn't taste as good as it used to. My husband grilled burgers this week and they were super good. I baked some fries after we argued that I wouldn't eat the ones he was frying. The oven was gonna be heated for mine anyhow but he fried his in canola oil outdoors next to the grill.

    Learn to make great homemade burgers. We just made some turkey burgers and they were actually quite good :) The good thing about MFP is that it will show you how outrageous it is to eat out at those restaurants.

    PS: love your picture. Is that you with a tiger? they are my favorite animals and I'm jealous of that picture :)

    THIS. I can make a huge turkey burger with 12 oz of meat and 3 slices of cheese for a fraction of the calories and like not even 12 grams of fat (99% lean turkey is from heaven)

    Pretty much every time I go out and play tennis for a few hours, I end up getting a big hamburger after. Whether it's a Whopper, Five Guys, or a Quarter Pounder, it always hits the spot. I usually get fries with it.

    In for the inevitable food shaming and demonizing.

    I stay away from fast food places now because of that. We ate at a few place when I was on vacation a month ago. None of it tasted that good to me anymore. We made turkey burgers last week that were amazing!

    Thank you! Yes, that's India. She was only 1 year old, and that was the happiest day of my life. I never dreamed I'd get to touch such an amazing creature! I think Turkey Burgers sound like a great idea!

    Best wishes,

    Eh, don't worry, you won't miss them that much.

    About seven years ago I cut out fast food like McDonald's, Wendy's, etc. I had gained a ton of weight in a short period time from visiting too many drive through windows, and I decided I needed to just quit it cold turkey. I still occasionally eat things like Subway, Chipotle, etc., but no more fast food burgers and fries. Since then, I've tried it once or twice, thinking I'd give myself a treat - turns out it's not much of a treat at all. Greasy, flavorless, tastes like nothing but salt and fat, and gave me a horrible stomach ache. I make a better burger at home (regular beef, but also lamb burgers, turkey burgers, etc). If you don't eat fast food for a while, you lose the taste for it and don't really miss it anymore.
