I am a terrible eater. I hate packing. So I eat shitty fast food every day for lunch. My breakfast isn't much better.

If my wife isn't working, I'll drive home and have lunch with her. If she is, then I go out. Rarely do I pack. (mainly because I like to get away from work for a bit.)

Damn LJ how do that not get boring? But what kind of nutri grain bar? I am currently enjoying a cherry pomegranate one.

Usually Apple Cinnamon. BTW, my breakfast consists of about 9 grams of fiber lol. When it gets boring I will get a burrito bowl from Chipotle like once a month and every so often I'll go out for a salad or replace the nutri grain with a bagel.

I pack 75% of the time. Usually leftovers from the night before, turkey sandwiches or Lean Cuisines. The days I don't take food I will run down the street to the deli and get something. I'd say I get fast food twice a month or so if I'm really craving it.

I used to get fast food occansionally as well. Since I improved my eating habits about 2.5 yrs ago, I can't even eat fast food anymore without feeling like shit afterwards. Wendy's is the only fast food I would even consider eating anymore.

Yeah part of me wishes that would happen but then part of me really enjoys certain fast food and I would be sad if I couldn't have it anymore. I used to eat it almost daily during college so I've definitely improved.

Yeah I sometimes miss it as well. Also makes it hard when I'm with some friends and they want to run to Burger King. If I were to eat that I think I'd need a nap.

I generally work through lunch and just eat a sandwich at my desk. Once a week or so I have a lunch meeting that I go to where they provide lunch, and then a handful of times a month I eat out with friends or a client.

I'll either go to the cafeteria for the 3rd straight year or go back and eat at the house.

I am getting tired of cafeteria food. But, I am going to see if I can start doing healthier options and make it much cheaper for our grocery bills.

Yeah, the one big vice I refuse to give up completely is pizza. But it's been months since I've eaten fast food. I just pack my lunch every day. Fast food always was my "easy way out" if I didn't, so I don't let that be an issue.

Used to always go out to eat at lunch.

My body got fat, and my wallet ot skinny.
I started to pack alot of healthy food for a few years and it worked well in both aspects!

Recently though...the wife and kids have no concept of ordering and making a reasonable amount of food for dinner and go out to eat way too much. they REFUSE To eat leftovers so instead of letting dollars after dollar after dollars get thrown out i am eating leftovers most days.

Tastes good....but isnt good on the waistline and is frustrating how much money is wasted.
