Ummm...probably once a month...I go for a LONG time not having any, and I don't miss it...but sometimes we want something fast and don't feel like cooking so we will get McDonald's or something.

I LOVE there nuggets!! ( even tho I know its prolly not "real" chicken ) ha ha.

lol...probably once every couple of months if we're going to be on the road for a while. Not gonna lie, I love the stuff, but for two meals it's almost as expensive as eating at a nice sit in place if they have specials going! (the sit in place, not the fast food place :))
Though this thread got me thinking. Ever notice how elitist some people get when they tell you they never eat fast food? I think it's funny. I don't much, because of the cost, and because it is gross for me but to hear some talk you'd figure it was a sin. lol. man, I've got some confession that is long over due if THAT is the case. :p

I used to eat it probably 5 times a week. i LOVE mcdonalds. I can never get enough of it lol. Luckily for me I dont gain the weight from it and still have been the same weight for years. ut latley I havent eaten it much at all. TBH I dont remember the last time I had any, maybe a month ago? Tim hortons doesnt count as I always get a bagel there.

Geeze I will have such a hard time when Im back working at the office. We have a KFC, subway, Dennys, pizza nova, mcdonalds all within a 2 min walking distance. then a mall with a food court to die for 5 mins (walking) away. I need to stick with my "I dont neeeed that food" diet.

Almost never. Maybe once every six months. And it's usually the non-greasiest thing on their menu, like a bottled OJ or water. I stopped being able to stomach McD/Burger King and the like a long time ago.... it's gotten so bad lately I can't stand the smell, even.

Only when we go on long road trips, but even then we usually try to find a Subway-esque typed arrangement. We're both vegetarian so Burger King is the only fast food place that has a meals worth of food we can eat.

I get the really bad stuff maybe 4 times a year.

I honestly eat it a few times a week. this week i had chicken nuggets from mcdonalds one day and taco bell last night. i eat mcdonald's brekkie almost every saturday. my mom's not a big cook and i'm a wreck in the kitchen, so it's far more convient to run down the street to burger king.

I'm actually amazed at all the healthy eaters here! I thought I was sort of unusual with the once a week thing!

We live on a budget and eating out is expensive. So our idea of eating out is ordering Pizza which we do once a month at most. That's the budget we set up and what we allow ourselves to spend. BUT there are special occasions, Which call for nice restaurants. that usually comes up maybe twice a year.

I don't eat any of the "really bad stuff." Places like McDonalds and Burger King completely creep me out... I couldn't imagine actually eating their food.

We used to eat Taco Bell on a weekly basis when I was in school (only the soft taco supremes with beans and no meat). I don't think I can ever eat Taco Bell again unless I'm in a huge rush, because there is this awesome Mexican place by us which is pretty quick and cheap.

I eat Wendy's baked potatoes, but again, I wouldn't really count that as "fast food", considering it's just a potato with chives on it. Once in a while I'll get a burger from there.

If we don't feel like cooking, we'll do Subway and Boston Market on occasion as well, but we order decently healthy things at both of those. Most of the time we'll just pick up a rotisserie chicken from Publix if we're not in a cooking mood.

Maybe twice a month for things like McDonalds, BK, or Wendy's. I haven't been to a KFC in forever, though. Subway, maybe once a month. Not likely, though.

I love Toca Bell but won't eat it in my town because, uhm, those stories of a person's experience in there scares the crap out of me.

Always once a week, my mom doesn't cook dinner on Fridays so she and my dad switch off every week on who gets to pay for it lol. It's usually something like Culvers or ordering a pizza... sometimes Arbys... never McDs, Burger King, or Taco Bell (even though I love Taco Bell haha).

Saturday afternoon we usually go out too, but that's *usually* either to a restaurant, or Panera, which isn't too bad.

several times a month. yummy. if we run over into lunch at work and i have to zip out and grab something, i almost always hit mcdonalds as comfort food. double cheeseburger, fries, and a big coke.

and subway every thursday for lunch at work with the girls, but i almost always get a veggie sub, so not really unhealthy.
