I'm just curious, how many times per week everyone eats fast food per week. I suppose eating out is one thing, but I was wondering how many times per week you eat fast food. Food that is high in calories, high in fat or has little nutrient value.

If anyone has heard of the documentary " Super Size Me" in which a man went on a 30 day fast food binge on nothing but McDonald's. At the start of his experiment he was an average weight average size man, who was actually healthier than most. He had no known and health problems and all of his "numbers" were normal. Halfway through the experiment, his doctors avised him to stop the experiment, because, after just over two weeks, they thought that continuing to day 30 could be hazardous to his health.

With that in mind, and with the idea that the United States has one of the highest rates of obesity in the world, how many times per week do you eat fast food? Again, fast food being, any food or meal that you eat away from home that has little or no nutritional value and is high in calories.

Thanks again for your responses and happy Mylotting!

We try not to eat out, especially with our tightened budget at the moment. But I guess we average about once every two weeks. That is still high, in my opinion. I know I don't need the extra calories and fat. "Supersize Me" was a great docudrama, it really made me think. Before that I would say I ate out an about 3 times a week. Way too much. I am now battling the bulge, but it isn't easy.

I probably eat fast food about twice a week. I don't leave home very often though. If I did I would probanly eat more fast food than what I do now. I try to order stuff that is at least a little bit healthy mostly becuse I don't like all the grease that they put in burgers and french fries.

Well I try not to eat that much fast food, but I do eat it every now and then, and my favorite kind fast food to eat is none other then McDonald's, my second favorite is Berger king, and my third favorite fast food is taco bell, but as for how manytimes I eat fast food, I typically eat fast food maybe once or twice a month depending on my cravings, but I could and would (not) eat the amount of fast food that the guy did on that super size me documentary, I mean ew any body would get sick if they ate that much fast food every day. happy

Being young and in college and working I eat fast food about 3 times a week. It used to be a lot worse when I was still in high school because I didn't have to worry about paying a rent so I would just spend my money on whatever I wanted. It's gotten better now since I have to budget my money, but I know I shouldn't be eating fast food at all! I think I will give it up when I get older and my metabolism leaves me. LOL

I used to eat fast food pretty often, maybe once or twice a week, but I don't live in a big town anymore and I can't just buy some fast food when I feel like it. I live in a village now and there is no fast food here. It is good for my health that I can't eat fast food twice a week and I spend less, but I do miss it sometimes. Of course we can drive into town if we really want it, but it is definately more complicated than before, and we are less tempted to do it.

hi my dear friend, i use to visit MAc Donald's and Pizza hut quite often. but that use to be long back. now i dont go to any of the fast food corners that often, unless there is some serious emergency. yes, i love to have milk shake at Macdonald's, thats it, nothing else. i dont take burgers or pizzas. they are too high in calories and now all these things are very difficult to burn. asd i have gained weight i have to manage my weighty issues too and avoiding all this is the best thing, i think rather than eating and then burning. because i have at thiis time soo of fat already to burn, that it will not be sensible enough for me to add more.

I try not to eat fast food at all.

But sometimes, at lunch time, as I am driving past a McDonald's Drive-thru and have not managed to make a packed lunch in the morning, I can't help myself, and the car turns itself into the drive-thru and I accidentally order myself a big-mac-meal. I must emphasize that this is an occasional mishap, and has only happened once or twice in the last year. lol

I really don't think there is any nutritional value in fast food. I acknowledge that McDonalds have tried to healthy things up a bit by introducing salads etc., but really if we were looking for salad, would we go to a fast food restaurant?

Hi there. I don't usually eat out. When I do, it would be once a month or if it's necessary. It's actually easier to eat at any fast food as the foods are served quickly, but don't disregard that they're all unhealthy foods.
