I found a better replacement for fast food is constant snacking.
Basically stockpile things so whenever you are hungry, you do not have to go out to get food.
Like JT said if you must go out eat healthy. Try eatting more sandwiches. Think Subway, Quiznos, Togo's, Deli's. So far I cannot figure out a healthy fast food, but this is the best I can think of in terms of health. Also, do not drink the soda if you get combo meals go for iced teas, get a pizza without the cheeze everyonce in a while, and hold the condiments like mayo on burgers or special sauce on baked sandwiches. The little things kill you.
I understand that your lifestyle may inherit fast food. If it is a must, limit fast-food to like twice a week.
Load up on as-healthy-as-possible snacks.
Baby Carrots, Trail Mix (don't over do it, nuts have a lot of fat, but it is probably better than grease), Crackers, Apples, Banannas, Beef Jerkey, hard boiled eggs, Baggette, cheese sticks, granola bars, pears, Lean Pockets.
You may not loose weight if you snack a lot and eat a lot at night time, but you will deffinetly be eatting healthier. This is the first step to losing the weight. Even if you do not lose the weight, you will feel better.
The goal here is to get out of the habit of eating fastfood. Once you are dependant on snacks, probably the carbs, try do all your carb eating before a certain time, than hit up the fresh snacks after that certain time till bed time, when you can wake up and eat the carbs again.
Eventually your problem will be with the snacking, not the fast food, which is easier to control calorie intake and that complicated science stuff.
Think of it like a diet where you can eat as much as you want, the thing is what you are eating will turn your weight into healthy weight.
