Yes you can have fast food when you are loosing weight but before you get too excited, IT HAS TO BE A HEALTHY option or modified version. When we think of fast food we think burgers, fries, shakes and all that GOOD stuff. Think about these 3 things. 1. You may not want healthy all the time 2. It will be costly 3. You probably can make it at home

1. There is such thing as healthy fast food. You get it and go that’s why its fast.
2. The healthy food options always cost more that the not so good stuff. For example a double cheese burger at McDonald may run you $2.50 but if you get the salad you are looking at $9.50
3. Some of the healthy food options more than likely you could have made it at home and probably half the cost, but you pay for convenience.
