How many times a week do you eat fast food?

[Micro2Macro]

For me it's about 4-5... :/

I never eat it for dinner, but I tend to just eat an extra meal every day that consists of me going out at 11pm and stopping by somewhere thats quick and cheap. (I'm not even close to being fat if you're wondering).

What about you guys? How many times a week do you eat fast food? Have you considered cutting back? Eating more? What would your typical 'fast food meal' consist of?

[kmind]

Basically same but it's more at lunch time. I'm trying to cut back mainly because of money. I'm not close to fat either but wouldn't mind cutting down on unhealthy shit. I'd easily prop bet if I weren't busto.

[Micro2Macro]

I'd prop if I wasn't addicted to the grease. nom.

[BankItDrew]

I have bought every meal for the last 3 weeks, but that's because I was in Vegas bitches! :P

Fast Food? I hate the stuff. Although, I probably ate fast food 3 or 4 times during that stretch I mentioned. I honest to god get headaches after I eat McDonalds, unless it's from their breakfast menu. Big Mac? Headache. Nuggets? Headache. And I never even get my meals with those 5L soft drinks.

Yeah, when I was staying with a mate and eating a Maccys every day I thought I was fighting off a mild flu, until it went away when I stopped eating Maccys and came back when I started again.

[dranger7070]

I used to eat that shit all the time before boot camp, but since I've gotten out I've eaten it maybe 10 times total (in almost 3 months) which is an obvious win. I haven't eaten it in probably 3 weeks. I'm kind of craving BK atm so I might go get a whopper or something right now lol. THANKS ASSHOLE!

[Jack Sawyer]

Before November, maybe 3 to 5 times a week.
Since November 1st, 0.

[boost]

I havent eaten mcdonalds, or any of the typical fast food in about 2 years. I occasionally eat panera bread or chipotle. I do enjoy drive in type food though, and still eat it, I just refuse to eat it from mcdonalds or whatever. I think the only time I would eat mcdonalds again is on a long road trip where I had no other option... but then again there are starbucks almost everywhere that have sandwiches..

[bigred]

Does subway count? I get that once every two weeks usually. I love tbell but normally get it like once a month at best.

[Micro2Macro]

Yeah I guess so, I included Subway in my count (I get it once a week maybe). My doctor says its still garbage (lol), but really if you compare say a chicken sub to a big mac meal or whatever there's a bit of a difference. So while the quality of food isn't necessarily the greatest, it sure as hell is alot better than McDonalds. (Unless you get one of the more unhealthy subs I think).

[kingnat]

The only fast food I tend to eat is Taco Bell bean burritos. For some reason I totally love them... but I loathe fast food burgers... they almost always give me an upset stomach.

[dranger7070]

I went out and got McDonald's tonight. Phail.

[kiwiMark]

I don't like McDonalds. But it's 24/7 so if I've been hitting the piss, then it's the way to go.

[a500lbgorilla]

0, fck that shit. I eat enough bad food that I cook myself, no reason to kill myself with bigmacs.

[will641]

once a month?

[Luco]

Once a week. It's mostly chinese food but occasionally we go kurdish, indian or good old british fish & chips. Never, ever Maccies, KFC, BK etc

[CoccoBill]

McD maybe once this year, other burgers maybe half a dozen times. I do eat quite a lot of pizza and subs though, maybe once a week. I've been in Germany for a couple months so haven't been able to avoid currywurst and döner kebabs every now and then, nom.

[bigspenda73]

I got really unhealthy when I was living in vegas, my day consisted of waking up at 5am, heading to McDonald's for a few breakfast sandwiches and hashrowns, eating something unhealthy at the course for lunch, and then swinging by wendys/taco bell/panda express for dinner and then to the bar. This happened for about 2 months before I finally put an end to it.

Now I eat fast food once a week, but I'm sure I could go back to eating it 7days a week.

[dranger7070]

Literally an hour after eating two McDoubles and a large fry I had to run to the bathroom to avoid shitting my pants. I pretty much pissed out my ass. >.> COINCIDENCE?

[Deanglow]

bout once a year

[jyms]

Not once since September 1st. I take my kid to that shitbox Mcdonalds once a week though since he loves it so much. I have a bottle of water.

[ChrisBCritter]

döner kebabs

Oh yum. You just made my mouth water...

chain fast food 0 times a week, unhealthy tasty food all the time.
i am not a foodie, i am a fatty.

i have to take my kids once a week to McDs also, except i pick up a gyro on the way back home for my lunch.

[bode]

once a week for me, but it used to be 3-4 times a week. I've def. lost some weight since i cut most of that shit out of my diet.

[jyms]

Just got back from Mcdonald's again for the weekly Friday visit. I had a protein shake and 2 hardboiled eggs, he had a chicken nugget happy meal and got an Astro boy toy. Pretty sure it's all about the toy and not the food though

[bigspenda73]

I used to binge at McDonalds once a week, 3-4 double cheeseburgers, 10piece nuggets, super-sized fries and a coke.

[dtan05]

twice, 2 cheat meals allowed per week

wtf, how is it humanly possible to eat that much? 10 piece nugget large size meal fills me way up by itself.

this.

also, how can you in good conscience spend $15+ on one meal for one person at mcdonalds?

[bigspenda73]

I think that meal is ~$10, I can eat a lot more than that. usually I boast w/ my 2p2 brethren but last week I had

A whole Digiorno triple-meat pizza
entire bag of tostitos scoops
medium container of queso

I think it was 3800 calories, took that down in about 40 minutes. I'm 5'10 170 at the moment. I can crush just an insane amount of food, mainly because I can eat really fast. I had a job once w/o a lunch break, and I usually worked like ~12 hours straight eating once the entire time. I learned to down a bigass meal in about 5 minutes. Currently I eat one meal a day, sometimes two, if I wake up really hungry. Usually I wait about 6 hours after waking up then eat all my cals in one meal.

<dranger> i have milk in my fridge
<dranger> that is 12 days past expiring...
<dranger> and i ate a bowl of cereal with it yesterday


Stop trying to sully the good reputation of the golden arches imo.

[Halv]

The past month or so I've been at BK once and had pizza delivered once. Not too bad. However I eat a cheapo frozen pizza prolly once every two weeks on average, and my everyday dinners aren't super healthy. I also eat too much potato chips and candy, and drink too much diet soda.

[bigspenda73]

The only thing wrong with diet soda is when there isn't enough of it.

[UG]

we used to have eating contests at Taco Bell during college where the loser puked or gave up. Lots of matches ended in draws where neither competitor wanted to go on (lame now that I look back on it). We would spend $15 apiece easy, which is pretty hard to do at T-bell.

I eat out usually once (and sometimes twice) a week, not counting leftovers. Fast food only twice a month or so. Can't do it like I used to when I was a calorie burning machine.

Spenda just went up in my book lol. Eating huge meals isn't that hard really, especially if he only eats once a day or so. I used to eat 2-3 BIG meals a day, then i started getting all chubby and shit, so I stopped. I've basically only eaten once a day for the past week though.

[bigspenda73]

Girl acted like she never seen a ten be'fo

(it used to be a lot harder to spend $10 at TacoBeezy)

[Galapogos]

I used to eat at McDonalds or places like it literally 3 times a day (unless of course I was going out somewhere at night where I'd get food). I had a really busy life and never felt like stopping long enough to make a proper meal. Plus I always thought it tasted good.

I also ate like Spenda with ordering a lot where the meal was about $15.

Then when I moved in with my girlfriend she made all the meals so I ate them instead. And that's when I gained weight. I was 165 in the McDonalds days now I'm 205 and I eat reasonably healthy. Weirdness.

[sniderstyle]

I eat out probably 5 times a week.
Does anyone have any suggestions on a way to not do that? It's just way easier/convenient.

i used to eat out 3-4 days for lunch each week at work. now i just make extra of whatever im making for dinner and make sure to have leftovers to take for lunch. pretty simple really, and it saves a TON of money.

[Saint]

I tend not to eat to much take out.. i like to cook lol..
although if i do im pretty boring like i get salads or sandwiches or somthing so generally Subway if i have to lol.. so maybe a couple times a month..

[dsmrolla06]

Im eating two double cheeseburgers from bk as i type this... I used to eat fast food twice a day, pretty much all my meals. D-menu for the win. Now I get free buffet at the casino whenever I want and Im there all the time. I actually get variety there.

[yourfather]

I eat fast food very rarely, except Subway which is pretty different imo. Usually for lunch I just grab a salad with a bunch of pretty healthy shit in it or a turkey sandwich or something or sushi. But I live in NYC and have alot of options. I do probably have bar food almost once a week which is grimey. I ate a bunch of Mcdonalds during a semester in Italy (was the only place open late night in my hood) and felt/got kinda fat and have since sworn it off unlesss I have no choice.

[bikes]

Like twice a week not including subway as my subway subs are actually healthy.

Turkey breast
lettuce
tomato
pickles
no cheese or dressing

[jyms]

Careful thinking subway subs are healthy. they can be a better option for sure, but sandwich meat is hit and miss and breads are not always the best for people out of shape. It's certainly better than most but depending on diet type I could make a better option out of a few other places.

FWIW, Popeye's chicken is the best fast food place on the planet

[Micro2Macro]

But I live in NYC and have alot of options.

I'm jealous. I used to live in a big city and had tons of options, now I live in a small town where everyones fucking white and born in Canada - thus no creativity in regards to food. We don't have any cool trendy neighbourhoods or anything, just fucking Mcdonalds and KFC crap

lol, i was at a tailgate with subway jared at the IU/Purdue football game last weekend. He's not as fat as he was, but he has gained back a ton of weight and has huge bitch tits now.

[dranger7070]

awesome

[WECpoker]

I have always been in good shape, but always ate more than an average amount of fast food my entire adult life, and even when not eating fast food I was eating frozen dinners at home or delivery pizza.

You name it, McDonalds, Wendys, Jack In The Box, KFC, Taco Bell, Carls Jr, Burger King, Subway (yeah subway is fast food and even though they say it is healthy, the sodium in any of their sandwiches is very high) I LOVED THEM ALL

Then back around April or so, I was feeling dizzy a lot. After I went to the hospital for Kidney Stones, the doctors told me I needed to take care of my blood pressure as it was wayyy to high (guess it was 180/110).

After discovering for the first time what high levels of sodium are in all fast foods (and any restaurant food for that matter), I went on a strict sodium diet that eliminated almost all visits to fast food places, pizza and frozen dinners. The doctor wanted me on High Blood Pressure medicine, but said I could give the changed diet a few months.

Guess the bad news is I still love those fast food places, but the Good News is my diet has allowed my blood pressure to slowly go lower from 180 to 160 to 150 etc until it is regularly now at 130/85, which is pretty close to exactly normal.

[mbiz]

in melbourne you cant turn a corner without finding a bar selling 'handrolls' (big sushi rolls) - they are cheap and reasonably healthy and i do smash them frequently.

my fast food habits are pretty sporadic but maybe some trash ass meal (kfc etc) once every week or two at the moment, and a better one (curry, thai) about once a week or two as well.

why can jews eat so much? I am the same but i am rail thin.

[Xianti]

I haven't been eating any typical fast food since around May of this year. Been trying to lose weight and get fit and healthy. The closest to fast food might be Chipotle (where I usually get a no-tortilla bowl instead of the burrito) or a sandwich from Jersey Mike's (but I won't eat all the bread, even though it is whole wheat). And I haven't had a pizza since March.

I've been cooking most of my meals these days and choosing better restaurants when eating out.
