DAY 2 

I am ready to quit eating forever…feeling sick. I was looking forward to breakfast because Chick Fil A is my favorite fast food place. Unfortunately, the #3 is a bacon egg and cheese biscuit…sick man…I ate that crap yesterday! Anyway in the name of “art” I pushed through the pain. 

BTW Notice this meal is identical to McDonalds tastes better and is 2 dollars cheaper. Day #1

I was not looking forward to this meal. I was ready to bail on the 3 day goal and just give my body some time to recoup. I am tempted to spread out the fat grams and bad food over a week perhaps 2 weeks. My good friend Eddy came by and encouraged me to step up to the task at hand. So I soldiered on and he was there with me as I digested this monstrosity of a meal.

There was a silver lining to this story. As we were eating a man (Danny) asked us for money I was more than happy to offer him my meal…he was happy to have it. Thank you Danny! The after meal photo was thanks to dual effort of myself and Danny.

The # 3 squared project. I will be eating my 3 meals in 3 consecutive days from 3 different fast food establishments. Breakfast lunch and dinner.

This is a project that I decided to revisit. The idea is based on the old nutrional concept of 3 square meals a day. The square being one food from the four basic food groups in every meal.

These groups were:

“The Meat Group” – meats, poultry, fish, dry beans and peas, eggs, and nuts;
”The Dairy Group” – milk, cheese, and yogurt; “The Grain Group” – bread, pasta, cereal, “Fruits and Vegetables”

I have mapped out the fast food restaurants that I will be eating at based on several criteria.

1. Using the “Most Preferred Fast Food Chains list that I got from Experian Simmons (see graph).
2. Must be able to verbally order from the menu by saying this phrase “Number 3 please” the please is optional.
3. Eateries must be within 4 square miles of my house.

Which leads us to the list. The 2009 #3 squared fast food eateries. In order of distance from my home.

1. Wendy’s .54 miles 11711 E Northwest Hwy
2. Taco Bell .60 miles 9820 Kingsley Rd
3. Mc Donald’s 2.3 miles 11325 Pegasus St
4. Arby’s 2.52 miles 9215 Skillman St
5. Burger King 2.87 miles 11404 E Northwest Hwy
6. Sonic 2.87 miles 9609 Plano Rd
7. KFC 2.99 miles 6520 E Northwest Hwy
8. Long John Silvers 3.39 miles 9375 Forest Ln
9. Chick Fil A 3.39 miles 9386 Lyndon B Johnson Fwy

3 photos will be taken

1. I will be photographing the meal before consumption as was presented to me by cashier with the addition of any napkins straws or ketchup needed.

2. Meal rearranged and presented by me in order to best show food.

3. Finished meal…wrappers and food scraps akimbo.

I will be compiling staticistical data from each meal. Nutrional information and price per meal.
