You want to go out to eat but you want it healthy -so do you eat fast food or ..

I would check who paid for the study. Nobody is going to tell me that fast food is better than traditional restaurant. I don't have to loos weight, but my last place to eat is fast food place. It was proven to create health problem not only weight problem. As far as meal size, if I eat in restaurant with my friends, we order two meals per 4 people to share. The other option is to take food home. Large portion doesn't mean that people have to eat all... Purdue is maybe selling chicken for KFC, they will do any study to point out meals in fast food.....too much to talk about, I am better with raw carrots and an apple...

I know that if i go out and i wish for a cleaner food then i wont get it anywhere because i think how much ever the eatery is big or heavy but its never clean.So i forget about the matter of eating clean if i want to enjoy eating out.i usually love subway if i am out or some good chinese restrants are good and can do my work of entetrtainment.

When I do go to a fast food place I never super size it. I buy the small fries instead of the large fries. I will lots of times get kids meals, they are all small fries and sandwiches, plus the price is right. Also I mostly drink water when going out. At home I drink green tea with no sugar. A couple of years ago I quit smoking and gained a ton of weight, I have been trying to shed some of them pounds, not having alot of luck with it.

I try to avoid eating out as much for my personal economy as for the calories. I am required to go out to eat one day a week with clients. That is often fast food, because most of my clients are on a limited budget, and I will not be reimbursed for more than $7.00. It is easy for me to keep it down. I usually drink water, because I want to model healthier habits for the others. Hubby and I seldom have days off together, except for Sundays. They are not necessarily off for him, but he does not have to be at work until three. We often go out on Sunday. He prefers places that have real plates and silverware. Quite frequently we go to buffets. I know that I eat more than I should, but about half as much as I used to. Again, we usually get water with lemon. Today was Chinese. When I go out, I eat what I want, then eat light the next meal. I have even gone out and worked in the yard this afternoon. I have lost about five pounds in the last month without any conscious changes. Drinking more water. The heat is making me less hungry.

you still can control the portions you are not powerless, they bring a big plate you eat the required amount and take a doggy bag and have the left over for lunch or give it to a family member. you don't have to give up your life because you want to eat better.

I think if a person is on a diet, Fast Food should never be an option. Almost always, there isn't anything healthy at all in Fast Foods. If a person is on a diet and would really want to eat healthy, it would really be best to prepare your own meal - you're sure what's in there, you know it's fresh, and most of all you can control the portion size.Ü

I would like to eat fast food rather than eating in a restaurant bcos I love fast food and never worry about being healthy but restaurant food also seems good but Its true that calories are also present in them so both have the calorie factor so why not to go to your favorite item.

Sorry to say I am a fast food junkie - I know it's the worst for me but then I have the worst eating habits in the world and figure better I eat junk and enjoy it rather than not eat at all or set and eat a gallon of ice cream and consider that dinner :(

Hi Debs_place, I don't eat out and my hubby don't like eating out so I have to cook from scratch and its all healthy food for us. Tamara

If I go out for meal, I would rather go eat at a restaurant than a regular fast food store, first is because I had experience before that, I had big stmoache after the fast food and it wasn't 1 or 2 times but more than that. And I like to eat out anyway like once in a while so I would rather do that.

We never use to eat at the fastfood or roadside shops. Not only they are expensive , they are unhygienic. You can buy fresh vegetable and fruits and make some nice dishes at home and enjoy. Regards.

I never eat at fast foods, actually i think that most of what is sold at the fast food is not food at all, if i eat out i usually go either to a real restaurant or if i have to make a quick lunch i bring some bread from home with either salad, eggs, potatoes or ham.
