Inspired by the KFC wedding story... We live in an era of food snobbery and health consciousness. Do you follow the healthy eating, five-a-day recommendations? How much of your diet is bad stuff (fried takeaways, junk food etc. )?
As for myself I probably have a 'bad' junk food takeaway once every couple of months, maybe a Chinese or Indian takeaway every couple of weeks (which is borderline junk food IMHO). Rest of the time it's proper cooked from scratch meals (or restaurant meals).

I'll order a chinese take-away occasionally though.
I don't eat five a day and I don't have a healthy diet either.
I tend to eat whatever I fancy.
Same here, 2 or 3 a day usually.
As for takeaways, I have one Indian a month. Apart from that, I don't eat stuff like KFC, McDs or the like ever
lol what do you actually then?
I'm sure I have takeaways too often, but they are usually fish & chips/Chinese/pizza and not McDonald's or Burger King. I have one McDonald's a year, maybe, if I've forgotten how bad they are.
A couple of days last week I just had toast, or beans on toast, supplemented by bags of Quavers because I couldn't be bothered.
I love fruit and veg, and probably eat around 5-8 portions each day without even thinking about it. I eat a mountain of vegetables with dinner most nights! I always eat wholemeal bread instead of white, and lots of lean protein (egg whites, lean meat).
I'm not that virtuous though. I eat a lot of chocolate and biscuits, drink wine, skip some meals and eat out a few times a month.
I've already got the menu out
poor Hobbit jnr. has to eat her five a day though.
With the 5 a day issue, I've managed it for a few weeks now. I have 2 different pieces of fruit for breakfast and along with my lunch I have a pepper, a chunk of cucumber and a couple of carrots all chopped up. I'm assuming they all count. I know potato's don't which sucks because I have potato with my dinner almost every day.
Have at least one take away a week, never have 5 a day, skip meals, snack too much, drink coffee or fizzy drinks all day.
No wonder my weight is forever up and down.
I don't eat 5 a day on purpose but I probably do eat near enough that everyday in the meals - I don't like fruit much though so my 5 a day would mostly be made up with vegetables.
I have a wee bit of chocolate here and there, maybe a packet of parma violets or some boiled sweets, and drumstick chews I like them, other than that I make my own things, tablet, toffee, profiteroles, cheesecake, biscuits - so I don't know if that counts as junk, I convince myself they aren't and don't make them that often.:o
When I am drinking and I want a savoury snack:D then I'll have some crisps, sometimes cheese and pickled onions, and a lot of the time I make fresh salsa and guacamole and have them with doritos.
Reading that I do eat a lot of tripe.
it's the oil or fat they're prepared in. I have roasted potatoes a lot (yum) but I use low fat spray instead of oil to make it healthier.
Ah, I see.
I dont eat my five day because i simply dont like vegetables ,i drink ALOT of fruit juice though but i doubt that counts :rolleyes:
when you blend the fruit in a blender that you drink, its easy and it does make a difference.
I have fish & chips twice or three times a week but I pay me fat tax (exercise) 3 x 3/4 hour exercise hard sessions & a 18 mile walk a week but I'm not perfect (all that my body is a temple crap) and like a beer & a ciggy when I drink
That sounds awful
