    I usually eat one big meal a day at dinner. Works good for me. I'm not a big breakfast person, never hungry when i first wake up. Lunch is usually just a sammich and apple and maybe a few snacks in between

    I still have a wonderful metabolism and definitely use it to my advantage - I probably eat bad 2 times a week.

    Other than that I have those greenchef / chefs plate meals delivered and I usually cook all those if I have to work lots of days.

    I'm not a big one for sweets, even as a child I wpuld skip cake. My down fall is chips. Corn chips, tortilla chips, pretzels.
    Salt and vinager chips.
    I only grab a roller dog/ pre wrapped burger if I'm in a hurry. But ill grab a fast food if its quicker than cooking in the truck and I'm tired. Exception to this is taco bell and arbys. Those two I would marry if I could.
    I did eat a TA salad two days ago. But I smoke. So I'm not sure I received and benefit.
    As far as health is concerned, mine is starting to show. From my metabolism and energy slowing to my teeth and mental stability. I need to take time off to get recalibrated.

    Just about every time I open my mouth junk food is going in. I don’t have a sweet tooth, I have sweet teeth. I have cut it out before and lost weight, but I don’t have much discipline when it comes to food. I’m 6’3 240. I need to lose 20-30 pounds. I’m not fat and I have bird legs. My weight is all in my gut and is starting to creep around my sides.

    Never when I'm on the road. I still have a bag of Jolly Ranchers my wife gave me almost a year ago. When I stop to reset, I make a couple rolls that consist of a tortilla, cream cheese, cheese, ham, mustard and hot sauce. During the day, I just drink water. Not trying to lose weight, I just hate messing with it. Sucked at first, but you get accustomed to it.

    Man you guys make me feel obese, I am 5'9" and I weigh 255, but as far as how much junk food i eat, I'd say a decent amount, but i eat just as much healthy food too. My weight is a combination of bad food and beer consumption. One thing that will put the pounds on you is snacking. I do snack but I eat fruits, peanuts and raisins, things of that nature. Every blue moon, I'll have chips or something. I don't buy sweets or chips usually.

    If i do go for sweets it's sour patch kids or Hershey with almonds.

    @bryan21384 yep any weight I've gained is solely from beer haha
