The pro's and Con's of fast food

If you have ever been on a long drive, or just finished with something that was physically exerting, you need some quick food to regain some energy. Obviously you also want the most bang for your buck when it comes to calories and for most of us that means fast food. Now fast food is often criticized to a great extent because it supposedly makes you a fat and unhealthy person. Now for me, I do eat fast food. Quite often actually too because after something like a football game or a basketball game, I need some fast calories and fast food provides that for me. I am 6'1" and 170 pounds. I have been this way since I was 16 and I am currently 18 years old. I understand that my metabolism is pretty high still, but I am trying to make people understand that if you are an active person who exercises regularly, you are not going to get obese over eating some double cheeseburgers. On the other side though, if you don't move around much all day, or work in a 4x4 office space and rely on coffee and energy drinks to get you throughout the day, fast food most likely shouldn't be apart of your diet. If you are going to choose to eat some fast food regularly, then I strongly suggest that you establish an exercise plan. The way fast food is going to get to you the most, is if you eat it and then drink a 12 pack of soda or beer while sitting on the couch the rest of the night. Basically we all just need to BE ACTIVE!! Feel free to post any comments or opinions. HAVE A GOOD DAY! :)
