    In the long run, quality will matter. Your body was not designed to optimally function on junk food.

    If you eat at a calorie deficit you will lose weight no matter what you eat.

    Junk food is in the perception.

    My before (skinny-fat) and after (lean) pics state otherwise. CICO = ideal for weight loss. Nutrition = ideal for body composition.

    Nope. Junk food is in the micro and macro nutrients. If more than 50% of your calories are in fat or sugar, you might want to make another choice. If the amount of sodium is more than 40% of your daily allowance per serving, you might want to reconsider. Garbage in, garbage out. If your objective is to lose weight, eat whatever you want. If your objective is to lose weight, keep it off, and be healthy all at the same time, it most definitely matters what you eat.

    If you eat cheese all afternoon without having some fruit with it, you are probably guaranteed to have constipation. Some choices have definite consequences.

    I did a test and hit my macros using just McDonalds food...lots consider that junk but if I can get my macros in chances are my micros are covered as well and that is a good thing.

    Tell that to the LCHF people...lots eat tonnes of fat and lose weight and feel great and work out hard...
