Do you fit fast food in your diet?

I have always fit it into my calorie goal. I've had to make smarter choices (whopper junior instead of the whopper, smaller fries or no fries), but I can fit it in several times a week. The main issue I have at times is sodium levels and water retention.

I am not saying this is nutritionally optimal , but I like fast food, and I've learned to do it in moderation.

I think for some people you just have to. I know if I want something I'll either be incredibly grumpy because I "can't" have it or if I'm not logging I'll just binge like crazy because the day is ruined. Sometimes it just makes sense to go "Well, that wasn't great but let's draw a line" and maybe seeing it reflected on your "In 5 weeks..." prediction would make you think twice before next time.

There are a lot more options for lower calorie in many fast food places now. And if not, I avoid disgusting American cheese (so not worth the calories) and no mayo/dressing to save calories and I don't bother with fries much now - I grew up having them extremely rarely so it's no loss for me.

Yep, personally I eat convenience food about once or twice a week without any weight-loss or health related issue.

I do tend to avoid fast food but I have been doing that before I started losing weight. I do occasionally have fast food, usually when I am traveling or running short on time/groceries at home. I have found that often when I do stop for something at a fast food restaurant it's not nearly as satisfying as I thought it would be.

I make it fit, but I'm starting to prefer cooking from home (unless it's chick fil-a. One cool wrap and two side/superfood salads will give me two satisfying meals).

I can make it fit into my diet but I usually don't just for the fact that I just don't like most fast foods. Why make it fit if you don't like the taste of it?

No, I find my body works better with real food. Not even tempted anymore. Ick.

Yep, you bet. Gotta have it every so often. Just add to calories for the day. If I go over oh well, life is too short to worry about it.

Whenever I feel like it, or it is convenient for whatever reason. I simply fit it into my calorie goal. There have been more than enough people who have done nothing but fast food diets sticking with a calorie count who have not only lost weight, but have had their blood markers improve as well. Most fast food places have options that are more nutrition dense as well in their salads, so it doesn't have to be just burgers and fries. Of course this is me speaking as a Canadian. I find the fast food in the US is not the same as here, so take it for what it is worth.

Yes. I eat fast food every Thursday night because I end up eating late due to my bowling league. But I have cut down on what I order*. Now I'll usually get a smaller burger or a chicken sandwich, take off the mayo, and no fries as I don't find them anywhere to be satisfying enough.

*-Except for Taco Bell. I will go all out and probably eat 1000+ calories there.

I don't avoid it. As I barely cook and many times during travel don't have the facilities to cook, I eat it often. I just make the best choices possible based on my calorie allowance for the day. I first started by downloading all of the nutritional menus, identifying those things that I believe have the best bang for the buck calorie, protein and sodium wise, and now I just pick the fast food restaurant based on what meal I want to have. For instance - Taco Bell = 2 fiery doritos los tacos supreme and a zero calorie drink for 400 calories. On a good day I might even have 3 for 600

I don't eat it it, only because it is not filling or worth it to me. If I want a burger I'll go get a delicious burger at a well known restaurant and be ready to spend 1500 calories on dinner.

I haven't in the past few months, eating more homemade food lately.
