    Never, really. If I'm really in a rush and don't have time to make food I may stop at Wendy's and get a baked potato and some chili - but that's very very rare.

    Subway turkey sub maybe twice a month.

    In a pinch, chicken nuggets from Wendy's maybe once every month or two.

    VERY rarely... Part of my running route when I lived on the Emerald Coast in FL was going through the McDonald's drive thru area to cut across to the other street. At that point, I had 2 miles in already, and the smell just fills your nostrils and makes you nauseous. At that point in 2009, I had just began working on clean eating, or at least recognizing it as part of my lifestyle. I was astounded at all the cars in the drive-thru every single time I made that run, and when my Mom would bring home her McDonald's Big Breakfast in the morning, I couldn't even deal with it! She knew it bugged me, and I cannot change people's minds and make them think differently but it makes you think about how you fuel your body. I don't even have a desire for that type of food because my body doesn't even want it.

    I think it depends on the kind of fast food. Taco bell and pizza is my weakness. Just make sure you can keep on track calorie-wise and try to control the carbs/ sodium since that seems to be the part of fast food that kills you.

    Whenever I get the urge. Of course, there are consequences in that I can't eat as much the rest of the day and feel like *kitten* for the rest of the day. Of course, I rarely have the urge to eat it.

    It's amazing to me how many people say they NEVER eat it lol. I rarely eat it maybe a few times a year. If I do however I will choose Wendy's or Subway.

    I love Taco Bell hard shell taco supremes. They are my weakness. I could eat them every day but limit myself to about 2x a month. Other than that I only eat fast food if I have to but I try to order healthy (or somewhat healthy). Like a McDonald's small hamburger and a salad. Or I eat McDonald's yogurt parfaits or oatmeal if I need a morning meal on the road.

    never, unless you count Brueggers or Noodles & Co. as fast food. I just don't think it tastes good.

    I did eat fast food once last year. I had the flu, and for some reason, mcnuggets were the only thing that sounded good. That was probably 9 months ago.

    I will honestly say once to twice a week. I normally keep it being the smart thing on the menu. I have had no problems with my weight loss journey doing this, considering it used to be a daily thing for me before!

    Once a week on Friday's...it's our family tradition and my night off from cooking!! We usually do Subway and I make sure that I stay within my calories. Other than that, ehh once or twice I month I do something really naughty like Taco Bell, but still somehow manage to stay within my calories or darn close to them.. :happy:

    Wow, so many people saying never! lol. It's funny because for me it's kind of backwards.. I used very rarely eat fast food. I stayed away from it and never really craved it.

    Then.. I got with my current fiance and since then we've eaten fast food soooooo often. We had periods where we went like twice a day for a whole week, lol.

    90% of the time I always get something small or on the healthier side of the menu. Lately it's been less.. like once a week or so :P

    Is it? I am vegetarian, and don't have the slightest interest in fast food. I never have. It doesn't look or smell like food to me.

    Never! Even when I weighted over 250 pounds, never ate fast food! No interest! Yuk. although a fish filet and some fries sounds good right now!

    I hate Fast food. It makes me feel disgusting. I've never been a fan.

    The only "fast food" we do is Chipotle..and occasionally (but rarely now) subway.

    They put a chipotle about 4 minutes from us by car, so we're always over there and I get my vegetarian burrito bowl (a burrito without the tortilla)

    I also always crave Avocado Rolls (Vegetarian sushi) probably much more than I should. they're fantastic

    I love cooking, but we're having a dishwasher issue (we have 2 that we need to return, 1 is too small and the other doesn't work and we need to order a new one) - it's made my kitchen pretty crowded.

    The freezer is stocked with Weight watchers Smart ones because of the crowded kitchen.
