I eat fast food. A lot.
My latest routine has me stopping for a Sausage Egg McMuffin on my way to the meetings, then another Sausage Egg McMuffin on the way back to my office. I'm now averaging over 1,000 calories -- half the normal amount of daily required calories -- before 9:00 a.m. And sometimes I throw in 2-3 hash browns with 5 packets of ketchup. Then there's that Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit at Wendy's with morning fries. Sometimes I eat fast food twice within hours or just drive across the street to another one to make it a ''BMW buffet''. That's just breakfast.
I spend roughly $1100 a month on fast food and eating out. Not exaggerating--i sat down and tallied the numbers from a bank statement over the last 4 months. I was floored. But it also helped to explain my 55 lb weight gain over a few months. It's impacted my health negatively, but also my wallet. I eat fast food probably three times a day since my divorce. I want to begin eating healthier and less expensive meals. It's hard for me to quit for a few reasons.

- I don't know how to cook, whenever I don't eat fast food I'm eating something that's not filling.
- I work a very stressful full-time job, it helps alleviate the stress by eating a quick hot meal and not having to worry about preparing something or eating something that doesn't fill me up.
- My ex wife used to always buy fast food, so it's sort of comfort food for me in a way.
