Success after IF

How often do you and DH eat fast food?

I just got done downing meal from Long John's and now I feel so guilty and gross. We get fast food about once a week and I'm thinking that's way more often than we (or at least I) should eat that junk. It's just so much easier than cooking a meal!

Re: How often do you and DH eat fast food?

  • I couldn't tell you the last time I had fast food, hs maybe? Neither of us like it so we don't eat it.

  • We eat it al lot more than we should, more than once a week. We usually eat at chicken places....mmmm:) We are not home at the same time in the evening a lot, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to itStick out tongue

  • "We" never eat it.  I hate it... I always have steered clear of grease.

    However, I think my husband probably hits up a drive through for lunch every now and then.  Not super often, but I see evidence! :)

  • only if we're on a looooong car ride and there's no "safe" option that we can see.  but then we order salads and fries since neither one of us eats meat!

    don't feel guilty, though, once a week isn't all that much and i bet you could cut down if you tried.

  • Maybe once a month, if that. Unfortunately it always sounds better then it ends up being. Sometimes I just want a fast food burger and fries, though. 
  • A lot more than we should maybe 2x a week , sometimes three. I know it's bad but with my GD diet chicken nuggets always give me great numbers
  • Only Subway and Cookout (not sure if that is a NC place or what, it is chicken sandwiches & burgers) maybe once a month or so but nothing else. I do think MH probably eats it a little more than that. If we're on a road trip & cannot find a Subway, Panera or other sandwich type place we might stop at an Arby's or something like that.

    ETA: you mean true fast food (McDs, BK, KFC, Wendy's etc) & not takeout right? We get takeout from restaurants & sandwich shops more often than that. ?

  • "Fast food" - almost never, only on road trips. We do eat a lot of take out (Pizza & subs) and places like Subway, Panera, Potbelly etc... I would say we do something like that once a week - usually while running errands on the weekends.

  • We don't eat 'fast food' very much...maybe twice a month? Depending on my m/s...sometimes the only thing I want or think will settle my stomach is a burger and fries...sounds crazy, I know.

    We do, however, eat a lot of take out.  I love italian food, and mexican food...we eat a LOT of mexican food.  We ate it about once a month before I got pregnant, but now?  Wow, we eat a really lot of mexican.  I tell myself that its good for me...lots of veggies, and the cheese has calcium in it, lol.

  • Yeah, I mean the bad stuff like McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, etc. Oh man, you ladies eat so healthy. Now I really feel bad!Sad

  • It is usually 2 times a week...sometimes more. I know it is horrible. I am going to do better now. As a matter of fact, I told DH that as I was chowing down on a Big Mac.
  • Normally (meaning not the last 4 weeks), maybe a couple times a month? We actually go through the McDonald's drive through a LOT (almost daily) because it's across the street but usually just to get drinks. The last 4 weeks though (since baby) we've been ordering snacks/sandwiches when we go through the drive through more often because we haven't had as much time for getting better food and I was trying to eat more to build my milk supply (didn't work though and now I've gained several pounds back).
    *** It's funny because I'm fat ***
  • Maybe a few times a year for me? More for DH as he will grab Wendy's during lunch probably a couple times a month.
  • We only eat fast food when we are on the road, so probably once a month on average.  We get take-out (pizza, subs, Baja Fresh, etc) probably once every week or two. 
  • Alot.  We both work full time, and it is so easier.  We are trying to eat better though.

  • The fact that I almost don't consider Wendy's fast food (because you can get a baked potato) tells you how often I eat fast food.  I have to justify my terrible habit with delusions like that one.

    I'd bet there are a bunch of people who eat more like you and I, but they just don't want to admit it (to themselves or otherwise).  Oh well.

  • Now-- maybe once or twice a month. When I was pregnant-- like 3 times a week. I had massive cheeseburger cravings the whole time.
