    hi I do some, I try to get on the internet and see what they have that I can eat and how many calories. So far that has worked even with fast food places

    Maybe because people should not restrict their diets or avoid certain foods simply because someone on the internet said that food was bad. I personally don't believe that any food is bad. All food has some level and quality of nutritional value. And guess what, I'm not angry. Defending my point about orange juice does not make me angry. But before you attempt to escalate me to that point, I think I will just walk away from this thread. Yet again, the "sensationalists" have denied the truth.

    OP, I hope your question has been answered.

    Let's not bother Whit. The thread has been taken over by the OMG 20 GRAMS OF SUGAR! OMG SODIUM! crowd. Like it was destined to from the start.

    *links arms and skips away*

    Quick tip, if you are wondering who to listen to, check to see how much weight people have lost and how long they've been here. It's a good way of figuring out who's full of it and who isn't. Ta!

    We really need a "like" button on here for this. ^^^

    Anyone with a third grade reading comprehension could ascertain from my post that I was neither recommending nor endorsing an all fast-food diet, as I explicitly state such in the post. If one is able to eat ONLY fast-food and still lose weight then I think it answers the original question. Your comments are irrelevant.

    I know alot of people will look down on this, but I still eat anything I want (including fast food) in moderation.

    There is atleast one day a week where I have to eat dinner on the run so it is either Subway or Wendy's for me. Subway is much better for you because I get their veggie sub, but I don't always have time. Just be careful of what and how often...everyday wouldn't be a good idea. JMO

    I do eat fast food, I just am careful about my choices. I don't go to fast food restaurants on the spur of the moment. i give myself enough time to look up that restaurants nutritional information so that I can make a wise choice. I usually only go when I don't feel like cooking.

    Nearly everyday.

    I just make good choices and ask for things off (like mayo, or any kind of sauces), and I might remove half a bun, etc. I don't get fries or a drink (if I do, it's water only). I ate Wendy's for dinner last night and it was less than 400 calories.

    I eat tijuana flats once a week, every week.
    I go for the lowest cal option, and just know if I am eating that I will eat lighter for the rest of the day.
    It simply math, if your allow x amount of calories per day as long as you don't go over it, you will still loose weight.

    I am not an expert, but this is my understanding and I still loose weight.
    I eat chocolate and an unhealthy snack daily, and have lost 26 pounds in 2 months so.

    I do periodically, but most of the time I look up the calories first or log it ahead of time so I know for sure what I am getting into, lol. I also try to make wiser decisions... thin crust pizza instead of deep dish or stuffed crust. Grilled chicken sandwich instead of fried, side salad instead of french fries. And IF you splurge on something unhealthy... no biggie! Work it off and keep moving :smile:

    Yup, had it today for lunch...Wendy's Small Chili poured over a side salad. No cheese or crackers. It's yummy and 235 cals. :)

    I eat out about once a week, sometimes twice, but I make sure it still fits into my calories. I also eat frozen pizza, candy, and cake. Just not on a regular basis. I log it all, and again, make sure I have the calories for it. Or else I do an extra long workout to make up for it. About once a week I'll have a day where I'll log, but not worry about meeting my calorie goal. So far, it's not only worked, it's kept craving and binges in check.

    I very rarely eat fast food anymore. When I do it's usually because I get tricked by the tempting aromas... those fries and burgers smell so good. I think they actually pump those smells into the air to attract people driving by. Then I actually eat the food and I feel like I have a pound of grease in my stomach. Not good.

    I go to Moe's Southwest Grill every Monday and eat. I get the Art Vandalay which is the vegetarian burrito. I load it up with rice, black beans, and all kinds of other veggies on a whole grain wrap.

    I still eat fast food on occasion. It is definitely not as often as I used to. Also, I am conscious about the calories and will opt for the smaller portions or lower calorie items. Hope this helps.

    I do. I just eat in moderation! Like when I order pizza I now get thin crust and veggies on it... Or when I go anywhere else I either get diet pop or water and get the small combos. I usually eat out twice a week :)

    Same here!!

    I do. Like said before in moderation. Moe's and Zaxby's in particular. :p But I don't really eat a lot of fast food in general these days
