Is fast food really that bad for you?

Question

Sometimes I get so hungry I eat a fast food meal like it's got hardly any calories and fat. How unhealthy is fast food? Is it really that bad?

Answer 1

Sometimes...then don't worry about it.

FYI:

Whenever you talk to a personal trainer about how to improve your eating habits, one of the first things he will say is “Don’t eat fast food!” This is because if you cut it out, you automatically cut down on saturated fats, processed foods, excess sugar and unnecessary chemicals in your body.

Answer 2

as long as you enjoy it and is only once in a while there shouldn't be any problem.

Answer 3

Not if you get salads and stuff. But yes fast food is very bad for you. So I don't know what you all are talking about.

Answer 4

Most fast food meals consist up to 1000 calories or more especially if you eat a burger , the fries, and the soda. If your going to a Burger place like McDonald's try and get a salad without dressing or little or lowfat kind. But if you really want that burger , don't order a side of french fries and get an Iced Tea (unsweetened), Diet Coke , or Water. That extra soda adds up to about 250 calories. The extra fries could add up to as much as 300-500 calories. The burger itself is probably around 400-600 calories. Fast food isn't a good choice but if your in a hurry and you don't have much money its a reasonable price.
