Fast Food



Recommended Posts

So when you have to do fast food what choices do you make? I decided on subway turkey on wheat today. I only ate a quarter of the bread along with the turkey and veggies. Boring....

I don't have a set place I go to. I look mainly for cost. Wendy's has a good dollar menu.

I can not handle sonic food for some reason, but love their ice and ice tea.

Unless I have absolutely no other choice than my to go fast food would be off that special list DL sent everybody.

I go for grilled chicken (forget the bread, no good), fruit cup, Wendy's chili, grilled chicken salad (lettuce usually ends up in the trash), chicken Soups (I ask for extra broth and less noodles), oatmeal cup, apple slices (BK), deli wraps, chicken wraps.

You know, whatever is safe and doesn't scream loaded in fat or dumping time.

I do not eat fast food but if I had no other choice I would go for the salads, or grilled chicken etc. etc. The FF places are offering more healthy choices now.

I go for grilled chicken and toss the bun. I'll even do jr cheeseburgers and just toss the bun. I eat Chick-fil-a grilled nuggets and Wendy's chili. Nothing from Taco Bell. I do have my mister get extra mild sauce. I put it on Beans and meat at home and it makes authentic Taco Bell tasting food I can actually eat. The fruit and yogurt parfait at McDonald's. I've eaten a few fried chicken strips. Popeyes has naked chicken too.

Try the jimmy johns unwich- no bread and wrapped in lettuce, I have found food to eat at practically all fast food places except Taco Bell. I am also grain free so I order. Side salad and whatever burger or chicken and toss bun and put on top of salad. Favorite is McDonald side salad and deluxe quarter pounder no mayo, no cheese and cut up veggies and toss with salad---also the New York dog in a boat no bun at Sonic

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
