Taco Hell for about a year now. Got the extra few pounds to prove it.

I'm thinking about a change, as well.

Basically the same thing you do although I do try to go out once a week for lunch.

Taco Bell, Wendy's, Pizza, Burger King ... twice a week with Taco Bell or Wendy's sometimes... that's my variety. Seriously. I need to gain weight anyway.

Usually a turkey sandwich, chips and a soda unless I go out to eat (rarely). I'm way too lazy to bring lunch and most of the other offerings in the CDC's cafeteria are nasty.

The only advantage of this, eating in most days, is that i've saved a crap load of money. For the same cost as one meal, i can buy all of my makings and do it quite well.

Leftovers from dinner, or if I'm lucky, my partner cooks lunch--I work at home half the time . . . :D

IF leftovers = TRUE THEN
EAT_LEFTOVERS
ELSE IF leftovers = FALSE AND sandwich_bread = TRUE THEN
EAT_SANDWHICH
ELSE IF leftovers = FALSE AND sandwich_bread = FALSE THEN
GO_OUT_TO EAT


I probably should have done that using a CASE statement ;)

I'm lucky enough that my wife cooks most nights and cooks enough that I can take something to work the next day.

Actually, my commute is only about 8 miles. It just takes too long when you take atlanta traffic into consideration (which is why I ride my bike most days.....usually faster than driving since I'm not stuck in gridlock).

Usually Indian food. Rice or Roti (kind of like a tortilla) and some dish to go with it.

I cooked my lunch for today while I was watching the super bowl yesterday. Tasted it to make sure it was okay then threw it in the fridge. Tonight I'll probably make something else.

I stopped eating out when I realized it wasn't helping me gain weight and was only helping me throw away money.

Ewww. No way could I eat fast food every day. Thank god we have a bunch of good (read: non fast food) restaurants within a few miles of work for the odd times I go out to eat.

You are inneficient:

if ( $leftovers ) { &eat $leftovers }
elsif ( $sandwich_bread ) { &eat $sandwich }
else { &go_out_to_eat }

:p

lol I think I'd be afriad of any foods from the CDC cafeteria ;)

I've been doing fastfood almost everyday for the last few weeks and have to stop. I hate making a lunch to take but its expensive not to.

Monday: Subway
Tuesday: Taco Bell
Weds: McDonalds
Thurs: KFC
Friday: Local BBQ place

(each place has a special going on the particular day I eat there so its not too expensive but still.....)
