Honestly it can vary between once a month to every other month. It varies between Taco bell, burger king, wendy's, arby's and we only do McDonalds because the kids like it. I am with Grammy.........the only thing I like at McD is the Filet O Fish and Hazel nut ice coffee! LOL

Like some have said, it is EXPENSIVE to eat out........especially when you are paying for SEVEN to go, LOL. We stick pretty close to a budget and have to figure in the cost BEFORE we do it. So I think if we had a looser budget we would probably be MORE unhealthy than we are! hahahahahaa

Well having junk at home is another thread! LOL

Yes, we eat junk at home at least one night a week. And by junk I mean hotdogs, hamburgers, fish sticks,............something along those lines that is quick and easy to prepare.

Tonight I had fresh barbequed chicken breast, brussel sprouts, mac n cheese, and a tray of cucumbers-radishes-baby carrots sliced with ranch dip. I don't count THAT as junk food :)

I <3 Chick-fil-A. And the Mountain Dew Baja Blast at Taco Bell is amaaazing. I'll go to Taco Bell purely to get some Baja Blast.

I'm not really sure how often I have it. I definitely don't prefer fast food over "real" food. It makes me sick. I think I had Roy Rogers yesterday, but only because someone offered.

This is all so new to me. Everyone I know eats fast food almost daily. I have never heard of so many people who rarely eat fast food. That's great, though. Kudos to all of you. I just couldnt do it. What would I do on my lunch break? lol. I dont eat beef, though. Just grilled chicken sandwiches w/ swiss cheese from mcdonalds. I also like Wendy's baked potatoes.

We had a life change in the way we ate/lived a while ago and removed any fast foods from our diet, except for Subway, which we do once in a while. I love their turkey wraps. It's going on 2 years since touching/eating any fast foods.

I used to not eat fast food much at all. But now, I eat it several times a week, depending on my work schedule. It's extremely hard to eat healthy when you suddenly have only 10 minutes to pick up something for lunch, and all the places nearby are burger joints.

Once or twice a month - we have to drive 8 miles so it's not very convenient.
Same. Taco Bell is about 15 minutes away, and Chick-fil-A is about 20 minutes. If I'm going to drive the 15 minutes to get near any sort of food, I might as well get something better than Taco Bell.

Once a month maybe. The only fast food I do eat now is the spicy vegetable stir fry with tofu :eek: But only once a month if that and I'm trying to cut it out completely! I just need to figure out how to make it myself to taste so good! :D lol
