I know they are owned and operated in different ways, but the burgers around here are just so small, and for a bacon cheeseburger and fries it's almost $10

Just found the below on MSN WoW, I would join this group...I can eat everything & can't gain any weight...I'm still under 150 lbs (Just weigh myself 145 lbs) Maybe I should stop eating healthy

Study offers fat people $3.5K to eat fast food every day

1 hr ago


​Washington University in St. Louis has the gastronomic deal of the century for fast-food freaks: They can eat to their artery-hardened heart's content all the pizza, tacos and bacon-swathed burgers they can handle every day for three months -- and walk away (assuming they still can) with $3,500. There's a catch, though: They have to be at least 30 pounds overweight to begin with and must gain 5 percent of their body weight during the obesity study, which is being done in hopes of figuring out why some overweight people get diabetes and develop cardiovascular problems while others do not. Along with the monetary benefit, once participants gain the required weight, they'll be entered into a weight-loss program to lose it.

Bummer, I have to gain some weight to just be able to join the study....Another No Win 4 `Space

When I do get fast food I usually go for Wendy's or Arby's... I try to stay as far away from McDonalds as possible lol. Maybe that's just because the one in my hometown wasn't so great

Lately I've been going to Jimmy John's (maybe once every two weeks or so? Don't eat out much) and it's pretty good. Super fast too

Mike, every five guys I have been to here in Florida gives a burger that is almost a meal by itself.

I forgot about Chick fil a. I like their food too and it is healthier than McDonalds. I also like Checkers and Sonics too. I never really thought that Steak and Shake was fast food but it is good food. Much better than Denny's poor service and lousy food.

Mcdonalds its not on the menue but it was a college hangover favorite I started "THE YING YANG" A Double cheeseburger on top of a mcchicken. Wash it down with a large fry and a liter of cola. Somewhere around 1500 collories I think

Or Jimmy Johns. I get the Italian Night Club, Pickle quartered, Choc chip cookie, BBQ chips, and again a Liter of Cola. I think around 1200 calories.

All drinks or no ice because I want the actual liter of cola not a half liter crammed with ice.

When I go I get a tripple with bacon and the works. Also I get a reg fry and wash it down with about 3-4 large drinks and 2 things of peanuts. They just go good with frys.
