These are exactly the habits I have broken... calling into junk food places.
Instead, for a meal I have to eat on the run, I call into a sandwich bar where I know I can get a salad, or a piece of roasted chicken, shasliks, at night an Indian or Chinese restaurant because I know the menu items that suit me.
I often eat on the run but the last places I look to are McDonalds, Burger King, KFC or Pizza Hut. They are the ones that got me into trouble in the first place. And I hardly see how 'stripping off the bun and eating the insides while I drive/ordering my Big Mac without bread' constitute a change in a way of eating.
It takes me approximately five minutes to turn on the oven and prepare a chicken. It roasts by itself for an hour, no other input from me other than to take it out. Ok, you don't have a kitchen, I can understand why you can't do that.
But I stand by my post that there are many small outlets that sell real rotisserie chicken, and it's not so tragic (or surprising) that KFC prefers their heavily processed, chemicalised fried chicken (And would you like chips, potato, gravy and a coke with that, ma'am?) to their heavily chemicalised, processed 'roasted' chicken that no one was buying anyway.
Just my thoughts on fast food. There are many more natural alternatives to the big 'drive-throughs" and slowing down for the experience makes for better eating. Get to know the alternatives in your neighbourhood, and the areas you travel to.
