And like I said once in a while...like once every 2-3 months....? Thanks

I think that fast food could be put in that comfort food catagory. I'm not in those situations where I need that comforting. Haveing a spare tire is not a motivator for fast food anymore. But like skinnyrobin said, once in a while shouldn't matter. Just be sure you keep up with your workout to keep that metabolism going. -------------- PetePete ===================== Mo' later, y'all ... lâche pas la patate, et laissez les bons temps rouler!

Taco Bell is my cheat food, while depending on what you get at KFC it's not THAT bad, but I rarely ever eat fast food. I worked at McDonalds so I'd rather die than eat that. -------------- And my soul must be iron, because my fear is naked. I'm naked and fearless.

I think papa johns even has their info listed on their homepage...

I eat at Wendys sometimes and get a grilled chicked sandwich with no sauce and a side salad instead of fries. you can get buy on fast food if you really have to, you just must be careful. I Heard that the chicken tacos are ok at Taco Bell, but I had a bad experience there awhile back..so south of the border is off limits to me.LOL
