How much is too much?

As everyone else has said, take your own stuff

But a big mac a day isnt going to do any damage, assuming you have normal breakfasts and dinners

I'd definitely take your own food in if there is no where local that can provide food that:
A: You like.
B: Is reasonably healthy to be eating every day.
C: Is reasonable quality.
D: Is reasonably priced.

Besides anything else, taking your own sarnies/packed lunch in with you is likely to save you a small fortune and you know exactly what is in them.

I take cereal, sandwiches and fruit to work and eat at my desk. I used to buy sandwiches and it cost me a fortune (over £1k a year!)

No excuse really, get up 5 minutes earlier and make a sarnie and grab a bit of fruit!

Providing he keeps his other meals below the recommended amounts i don't think there would be a problem. However thats if he just has the big mac on its own and not the meal. As im pretty sure there is more , fat,salt and calories in the fries then the big-mac.

Fast food = Fast death

Take your own food to work, you lazy sod

You'll save loads of money if you take your own.

KFC is omnomnomnom!

Buy:
Pasta
Cheap tomato and basil pasta sauce
Cheap Mattersons sausage thing

Cook pasta
Drain pasta, put back into pot
Add pasta sauce
Add sausage
Season to taste

BAM! Make it big enough for last a few days and whack it in a load of those plastic containers in the fridge and youve got a few days worth or lunch

Don't eat anything to save money, great idea!

Well atleast (over here atleast) all but 1 of the items KFC has is transfat free, atleast that is a good reason to get KFC.

You'd have to force me at gun point to eat MacDonalds. Lol, a treat

arknor · 15 Oct 2010 at 18:11

i vote for making your won packed lunch sandwhiches you might think are boring but i garuntee if you get some nice buns and decent fillings you will be more than happy.

tigerpaw buns + chicken +bacon + lettuce + tomato + cucumber + pepper + salt = nomnomnomnom

I have recently fallen in love with these -

At £1.30'ish each, lot's to choose from, large portions, fresh ingredients, no additives and proper meat!!! They are a bargain.
