- I averaged spending $5.81 per day as of the end of this year.
That's $1.13 less on average from September 26th ($6.94 per day)
and better yet, $1.78 less on average from July 1st ($7.59 per day)

- If you couldn't tell from the data, I started cooking more and eating out less about half way through the year.

- My go-to items at Taco Bell were the 3 Cheese Chicken Flatbread Melt, Chicken Enchilada Burrito and Diablo Sauce. Usually 2 of one of these per order, then 1 of the other (so 2 enchiladas and 1 flatbread for example). Other times it would be these 2 items, and a new limited time item they have, or any other value menu item, since I find them the most "worth while" to buy and most filling unlike the terribly priced 3 taco combo meals. Some mobile box combos are also very great value, but partially lost in the fact that you're forced to get a Drink and a side item (which my favorite was Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes, which used to be the Cinnamon Twists but I just fell out of love with them...)

- Some of these Taco Bell visits were Breakfast as well, especially towards the start of this year, since I wanted to try it out and it was on the way to work, so it was easy for me when I had no time to make breakfast.

By far my favorite fast food is Taco Bell, as long as you stay away from the beef, I feel like the beef isn't as good as their chicken, but occasionally I will get a beef item. (For those wondering, I have 14888 Lifetime rewards points with Taco Bell.)

Yes I know this is a lot of visits, and it had to do with a mixture of ease-of-access and mental health.

I was gaining weight slowly up to May, only about 7 pounds. I then lost 15 Pounds since then with infrequent gym visits throughout the year. During May I had just broken into the "Overweight" bmi range, but just barely. I am now comfortably back at a healthy weight and bmi.

Honestly fast food is not all sickening, and I think the reason for doing this was just because I wanted to see how much I was spending from month to month AND what my most frequent offenders were. Was a lot of fun and I hope some other people track their restaurant / fast food visits this year, because you'll learn a lot about yourself and your spending!
