if you eat large amounts of anything you will feel sluggish. Go ahead and eat 3000 calorie of chicken and vegetables and tell me how you "feel"....
wouldn't fit into my macro's

No not unhealthy!! I am saying a lot of people have ill affects after eating this food if its not eaten for a while including myself, I don't mean oh i feel crap because i'v eaten a take away, i mean ill, bloated, tired, sick. I don't have this reaction from say chicken or veg and so on, so to me and many others it would be classed as junk.
Yes it is! You are missing my point
Where are you seeing a blanket statement? and it is not an assumption! He openly admits to eating anything in his macro's.you are right, not all fast food is junk, I don't believe that either. Lots of exciting fast food out there. And i am not here to really define junk either. I think a lot of responders got my poorly laid out point that many fast foods that are high in fat, or fried or sugary have an effect on them. Many don't.
But if I did not use the word 'Junk' in my OP there would have been 2 responses. So there i admit my evil motives
OK but if you eat said food and hit your macro/micro/calorie goal for day, is the fast food still junk or is then 'good'...???
If you cut out junk for a few weeks and then go mcdonalds you feel the bad effects, Maybe you should cut out junk to understand why it is junk!! You are used to what you eat.
I love blanket statements and broad assumptions.
so if I hit my macro/micro/calorie goal and one meal is mcdonald's that means I am eating junk, really?
so that would then make my diet unhealthy , right? Because junk food...

eat too much of anything and you will feel bloated and sick that is not a function of food type, but food volume, which you seem to be confusing.

Yes please, can you send one here
I'm not a fan of food like McDonald's, KFC etc, so I don't tend to eat it. I just don't like it, nothing to do with it being 'junk'. My husband gets Dominos sometimes, and I've learned not to eat even a slice, as I don't feel good eating it. Same if eat too many sugary things, I just have to drink a load of water after.
I've also noticed that my kids go crazy after chocolate and anything store bought, so for our treat day we usually bake a cake, and I don't feel bad after eating it, and my kids don't go mental, so all is good 0 -

So when you eat cheese or lettuce or beef or buns does it have the same effect also??

Turkey has known to knock out (put to sleep, lol) all men across the country on Thanksgiving day, does that make it "junk food"??0

Good question. If I could tolerate the food and fit it into my macros would I still call it junk? Hard to say. Let's say I ate my favorite food, McDonald's Filet-o-fish and fit it into my macros. Would I still consider it junk. Yes, but I am biased because I do feel like crap after I eat one. We all have our biases one way or the other for different reasons. Some people say there is no such thing as junk. I would not argue with them to say or feel different. Some of us do. It can be as simple as that no?you are right, not all fast food is junk, I don't believe that either. Lots of exciting fast food out there. And i am not here to really define junk either.

just because you "feel" like crap after eating a filet o fish does not make it junk. Perhaps, because you have a preconceived notion that said food is junk, your thought process is manifesting this and you "feel" like crap...
If you are hitting your micro/macor/calorie goals then that would consist a healthy diet, so you really could not be eating "junk"..
Additionally, when I have the flu I like to pile some pillows around me on the couch, because it makes me feel better. Does that mean my pillows have some kind of flu antibody in them? No, of course not. It just makes me more comfortable so I feel better.
My point is that "feelings" are way to subjective to apply to something like eating and nutrition...
I like many of your posts and find a lot quite enjoyable, including this one. I just don't 'feel' that 'feelings' are too subjective, especially around food. It is one of the most talked about and emotional issues on the planet. If a feeling makes me eat better and I feel good after a days worth of eating, then for me it was a good day. Junk is a subjective word and probably overused. But for some of us it is a word that works.0 -

I almost never eat McDonald's or other fast food, but when I travel I do. I've never felt any kind of bad effects from it and it can't be that I'm used to eating it, because I'm not.0 -

well it is just a theory of mine...
but when people tend to view something as bad it tends to get manifested as negative feelings...
but I could be wrong...

I never mentioned too much, i mentioned a meal. one meal from would make me ill, so if it has that affect then its junk.

I don't eat fast food, junk food, whatever you want to call it because it makes me ill. Not because I 'feel' that it makes me ill, but to the point of tangible physical effects. Bloating, digestive issues, and such damage to my toilet that I have had to issue written apologies.0

IMO suffering ill effects has no bearing on whether something is junk food. Just because you can eat it and still be healthy doesn't mean it's not junk food either. Junk food is junk food.
I never really call most fast food junk food though. I'm usually talking about snacks such candy and chips. I call most fast food crap food, because it tastes crappy.0 -

pretty sure that is not limited to just "fast food" ...as I have annihilated some bathrooms after a home cooked meal...sometimes it is just stomach issues...0 -

No, my diet has kept my system very stable. I'm what you would refer to as 'dependable' in that regard. Fast food throws everything out of kilter.
