How often do you eat fast food?

dad106 · August 2011

Honestly.. this is supposed to be a lifestyle change.. and most lifestyles include some sort of fast food, because lets be real, you can's always cook for yourself.

For me personally, I don't eat that much fast food.. I much prefer to go to an actual restaurant then through a drive through. I sometimes get cravings for Culver's,Sonic, and Jersey Mikes Sub's but I haven't had Wendy's, McDonalds, Burger King, or Taco Bell in over a year.

I'd much rather spend my calories on a good desert, instead of fast food.

i eat chipotle like once a month, saladworks 1-3 times a month (it is surprisingly low in calories and sodium), mcdonalds about once every 3 months.. sonic once every 3 months or so... maybe. i haven't had taco bell in a year and i've had chick-fil-a once in the past 4 years. as for any others, i've just never had it or don't care for it (like burger king).

i usually just make sure it fits into my calories and i'm good. but at the same time, i go and buy tons of stuff at the grocery store so i want to eat that. plus, while any fast food is filling at the time, in about a half hour i'm hungry again.

i mean, my diet is my diet - it's not going to change. obviously there will be times in my life where fast food is present and i just have to live with that. i could say i'm cutting it out forever, but what if i'm somewhere and need food and it is literally the only thing around? it happens. just gotta eat it and exercise!

Very rarely. I would say I swing through a drive-through maybe once a month? We order in pizza maybe twice a month.

I don't drive through anymore unless I'm travelling but I have a veggie sub from Jimmy John's for lunch 4 or 5 times a week.

The only time I get fast food is at 2am and I've had too much to drink - that doesnt happen now that I watch what Im eating/drinking. (thank goodness). My weight BALLONED when i was going out drinking all the time.
There are so many great options that arent from a drivethru - like many people have already posted.

I eat fast food at least once a week. I consider Subway to be a fast food chain. There are times when I eat there more than once a week. So I am the odd one here...I eat fast food ALL the time. Wish I could say I didn't and that I packed my lunch but I don't.

I seem to end up in a rhythm of McDonalds twice a year, and perhaps visit some other fast food place once every other month or so. I do tend to buy prepared sandwiches at fuel stations though, so if that counts I have it about once a week and am really trying to be a lot more organised as I rarely crave them, just end up with it for convenience!

3 or 4 times per year maybe. Depends if it's necessity or not. Pizza, if you consider that fast food, 1 or 2 times per month.

Scorpioangel · January 2012

I eat it every week probably at least 2 times

Well, first off it depends on what you consider fast food... If you're talking Panera and Chipotle, then I probably eat it a few times a month... If you're talking Burger King, McDonald's, Arby's, Wendy's and the like, then I haven't eaten it in AGES. I just don't enjoy it and I usually feel lousy afterward.
