I’d say that I get fast food at least twice a week but more so in the mornings such as a coffee shop like Starbucks. My mornings are a little more rushed and I have to drive a little bit for work so having a coffee or something small for breakfast goes a long way for me. For example, a breakfast sandwich or a muffin will definitely be something i reach for. I work such weird hours that dinner on workdays are mostly what I get to eat for the day besides what I get in the morning. Starbucks has been my go-to ever since I started going to Umass Boston because there is one on my way and sometimes I can’t resist stopping but it is definitely hurts my wallet. I used to get a coffee most days of the week, at least three if not more. I have gotten better about making coffee at home though. Caffeine has been a must for me during school and now for work as I’m trying to figure out this whole adult thing. The rest of what I eat in the morning on the days where I actually give myself enough time, I eat anything from cereal to protein bars to a sandwich. About five days a week dinner is a slow food which is either prepared by myself, my mom or any other family member. If not all seven days a week for dinner could be something cooked at home, I think the summer months are where I’d me more apt to get fast food. I think it is also circumstantial, say I go to a concert or hang out with some friends, then fast food could be a factor. I take pride in having home cooked meals because they are generally healthier and make me feel better that I am saving money and taking better care of myself.
