    On average, how often do you eat fast food per week? For the sake of this thread, fast food is defined as eating at place that has a drive through.

    Does my local Lebanese restaurant count as fast food? Because they have a drive-thru window and I pick up a few gyros for dinner at least once a week.

    Use your own judgement if there are exceptions that should not classify as fast food.

    I eat a lot of Subway, but I don't classify that as fast food.

    Other than that, probably twice a month.

    I've been on a weight loss kick for the last few months so I keep fast food to a minimum. I'd say about once a month for me.

    I basically consider all the chains fast food, even if they don't have a drive thru window. Hell, I really consider Chili's fast food.

    With that said, I might hit up Panera Bread for breakfast on my way to work if I don't have anything at the house about every other week. And I usually will go to Firehouse Subs or Potbelly's about once a week. Both are deli chains, but I still consider them fast food for some reason.

    I used to go often but cut way back a few years ago. Now if I'm out and need some food the worst thing I'll get is a grinder from a mom and pop place. Takes about the same amount of time and is a way better than Subway. Subway sucks! I don't care how many flavors of bologna they have there, it's all crap.

    Way more often than I probably should. Probably twice a week for me. I can't seem to shake the fact of how easy it is. Its not even good food but the fact that its easy and quick is so appealing. After a long day when on the way home its so easy to fall into the "I don't feel like cooking anything" mode.

    Hardly ever and mostly because of the workers at these places down here. They don't seem to give a crap about their job or the customers so I really don't want to eat any food they've perpaired.

    Is rather grab a protein drink and power bar.

    And these reality shows with the hidden cameras don't help either:(

    Glad my wife loves to cook and is fantastic at it.

    Way too often, like 5 times a week for lunch, plus some on the weekends. I try and order something decent, but have you ever tried to find something healthy on the Sonic menu, not happening. We should be better about it, but we are almost never home. My wife works about 60 hours a weeks, we have softball games or practices 4-5 nights a week. By the time we get home, we're not thinking about fixing dinner or fixing lunch for the next day. I only have 2 vices, fast food and pop. Would love to quite both.

    Where is the more than I should option?

    At the height of my weight loss it was once every few months. Now a days its 1-3 times a week and I feel every bit of it.

    Probably twice a year at the most and only because I'm riding with someone who really wants to eat there. It's almost all garbage and these days cost nearly as much as a good sit down restaurant.
