So - what are we actually classing as junk? Is this down topersonal preference? I am kinda leaning towards no junky snacks, but not forcing myself to eat super clean meals.

Is that the general idea? My main issue is bags of crisps and biscuits.

    i think its really personal

    for some its sweets

    for me its salt, chips, and pretzels and crackers

    i guess it depends on how you define junk and whatever that is, stay away

    Yes I believe what is classed as "junk" is up to the individual. For me it is...
    Baked goods
    Candies
    Icecream and whipped cream
    Chocolates
    Cookies
    Chips
    Pizza
    Chinese food
    ... Anything processed.
    If it comes in a box or bag it is probably "junk". Lol.

    It's totally up to you! I think everyone will have a similar list but there might be certain things that are really hard to go without for some people, or some people might be more strict about what they consider junk.

    that said, if I have room at the end of the day for an ice cream sandwich and it fits in my macros, it's not junk, it's a snack. It's the one turning into the entire box that has been the problem in the past.

    For me, junk is like chocolate, crisps, any fast food, biscuits, cakes, pastries, cheese in large quantities, ice cream, any takeaways...
    I'm classing chips as a junk food if they are from any other fast food chain, but oven chips are fine. :)

    ^Hurray for oven chips!

    Sweets = junk food. I feel super dirty after I eat a sugar-laden snack, and I get these massive cravings. I'm pretty sure I'm already a sugar addict. Spam, canned meats are totes fine by me, although I'm trying to lay off them too.
