Anything in moderation LiamLucas.
I think Subway is pretty healthy tbh.

But it stinks in there!!
Nah, in modertion I dont see fast food negatively impacting quality of life.
If carbs are an issue for anyone then get low carb options like a Subway salad bowl or KFC chicken and salad, no chips
But most of us can cope with a carb heavy meal now and then.
I don’t buy fast food or takeaways except when travelling I might buy a ready made sandwich.
Subway is probably better than most as there’s such a good salad selection.
I take it back home to eat,no stink.
Ahhh KFC! Even the initials make me feel I have to change into loose-fitting clothing. I haven’t had KFC since my 20s and skinny as I was then I could still feel it all going to cellulite. Perhaps it’s a healthier version of deep-frying these days, but reports suggest it’s still full of trans fats & salt.
If I have a takeaway type meal it would be a shish kebab with rice, salad, chillies and garlic sauce (but without the pitta bread).

The ingredients to beware of that are actually hazardous are palm oil, fructose, fructose syrup,corn syrup . And nitrate/nitrite found in ham, bacon and processed meat proven carcinogenic.
I have to look at about 15 packs of biscuits (cookies) in the supermarket before I can find one without these in.
They are also in savoury food, especially ready meals.
But remember to take specs , the ingredients are often in very tiny writing.

is that a glass of port?

It’s just a glass of cheap Merlot Annie, as much as I love ruby port that’s reserved for special occasions.
So, do you like the glass by the way?
I love the green stem and the tulip style!
The green compliments the red of the wine!
Three for two pounds in a charity shop!

Very wise, the concoction of odours in store is the ultimate appetite suppressant 
If I was in need of ready to eat fast food in front of me, then I would consider it, but eat it slowly so as to avoid indigestion and I wouldn’t be rushed by a table clearing jockey with a cloth and spray bottle … 
sod off and leave me to enjoy my food, ya munter!

The glass is beautiful. But I am relieved (on behalf of your good health) that it’s not filled with port!

There must be some nutrition in so called ‘fast food’.
Smaller servings are better than enormous portions, so i would indulge but not eat enough for three.
I have discovered something today about fast food shops in my town.
When I read this thread yesterday, I was thinking that there was no fast food chain shops in my little market town.
We have a couple of bakers which also sell a small selection of ready-made sandwiches and warm pastries to take away.
We have a couple of butchers shops, which make their own pork pies and one of them makes lovely quiches and sells them either whole or in halves, quarters or slices from a heated cabinet.
A couple of supermarkets on the edges of town which also sell sandwiches, salads, snacks etc
Apart from the fish & chip shop, I thought that was all we had, as far as “fast food” goes - no fast food chain shops at all.
I got such a surprise today when I went to the hardware shop on the opposite side of town. As I came out of the shop, I looked across what used to be fields to where a new industrial estate has been built a couple of years ago and, for the first time, I noticed the distinctive big yellow M of a McDonalds Burger place. I had no idea that had sprung up!
Then when I was walking home past the petrol station, just around the corner from my house, I noticed there is a SubWay shop right next to the petrol station where I always go to fill up my car with petrol!
Where did that come from?! Why haven’t I noticed it before?!
I walk past that place at least half a dozen times a week!
The entrance to it is actually on the petrol station forecourt, next door to the entrance to the petrol station shop where I go in to pay for my fuel, so I don’t know how I’ve never noticed it before!
I blame this thread for making me notice these fast food joints I didn’t realise had sneaked into my town - I bet I’ll discover next that there is a secret pizza takeaway and a Chinese takeaway shop too!

My concern would be lack of fibre to aid speed through system, so plenty to drink would need to be available.
It can’t be too fast or I wouldn’t be able to catch it.

Once a week we attend a group and we treat ourselves to a McDonalds wrap and latte for our dinner. Makes a pleasant change and they’re rather nice

Keep it coming Kenty, we need to defend against the old farts who resist trying anything new, just because it sounds bad

So, you are doing what I suggested - choosing a takeaway meal that suits your low carb requirements.
I quite like KFC wraps and have them now and then - maybe once every few months. Doing so hasnt caused me any issues.
My point really though was that there are take away options and people, like yo u did, can select something that suits them
