Someone raised an interesting point earlier...

Buying a boxed salad from a supermarket will set you back £3 - £4, and having a drink and a bag of crisps and that's £5 or more gone already. Eating healthily is not particularly cheap... an boxed salads are not especially low in calories, especially if you go for the Chicken Caesar!

I remember it used to get to the end of the month and I was broke... 99p would still get you a cheeseburger. You cant by anything else in the town for 99p. Maybe a couple of mars bars, or similar.
 
I rarely have McDonalds, but if you widen the question to include KFC, Burger King or Subway, then it's easily 7+.

Probably about 10-15 times a month.
 
Bit suprised at the number of people having 7+ a month, surely a joke? I know some of us like fast food, inc myself but I would never have it THAT often.
 
Maybe once every 2 months?

I don't understand why everyone says it's horrible - i bloody love it and would eat it far more often if i didn't care about being fat.

Eating healthily doesn't have to be expensive. The thing is, is that people are just inherently lazy and choose the quick option. You can buy all the stuff for an inexpensive meal or salad (I like my power salads! :D) for a week for less than £5 a day.
 
Normally once or twice a month, however that will be cutting down to 4 or 5 times a year after I finish my work placement as its currently an easy option for lunch!
 
The thing to watch out with supermarket salads is that with all the dressings a lot of them are actually more unhealthy than traditional junk food. Far better to prepare it yourself as Freefaller says as you know exactly what is going into it.
 
The Big Mac has the same uncooked weight now as it did 10 years ago when you were 8 years old, which I think is as far back as we need to go do disprove your statement.

Uncooked weight is easy to fake, add water and freeze. The burger shrinks dramatically during the cooking process.

Their burgers are crap, they taste like sugar and chemicals, face it.

seeing as they are 100% meat, that's BS.

100% meat sure, but what sort of parts of meat is another question ;) Sure I know I know, they're selling to a target market who don't care about such things - but that's why I sledom buy pre-made burgers, I'd rather make them myself.
 
I honestly haven't had a McDonalds/Burger King or KFC in over 5 years. The local chippy does tastier grub with bigger portions for less. And I'd only have that maybe once a month. I much prefer a home made stir fry for quick fast food though.

Not mechanically reclaimed.

Flank and shoulder iirc.
It'll be from mass farmed stuff. But nothing as bad as people think.
 
To be honest I dont have fast food that much anymore at all. about a year ago I used to take out loads and I quickly saw how it was effecting me.

Now I rarely touch the stuff because I just dont see the point, yea you could buy a 1.19 (or has it gone up ??) cheeseburger from McD but I mean how full up does that really make you feel ?

The only time I will eat from McD or anything else like KFC/BK... is if I am seriously drunk and have the munchies :p Otherwise there are always other options imo.
