Typically packaged cookies, candy bars, croissants, donuts, pastries, ice cream etc is what I'd call junk. Then there's 'ok' junk like ice cream, and the horrible stuff like candy bars. Doesn't mean I don't eat them though.0

To me, junk is anything that has calories and no nutritional value. Things like chips and candy bars.0
-
Kale. it's gross, otherwise nothing.0
-
Pretty much any food prepared in a factory that comes in a box or a bag and doesn't require refrigeration and has more than 2 ingredients.0

Please explain this "no nutritional value" statement.0 -

Oh Yeah Kale sucks!! lol and I am with you lets not label food good or bad.... Enjoy the foods you love, each to your caloric intake and live your life...... Best of Luck0 -

oh I agree with the feces and mold but the 5 second rule always applies on the falling on the floor..... lol0 -
Yup. I totally agree with those who said anything about no nutritional value and anything made and packaged in a factory....0

made and packaged in a factory...? So... peanut butter? Olive oil? Protein powder?0

Things with very little nutritional value that aren't really even all that tasty. Cheesy poofs or Twinkies.
However, potato chips and Raspberry Zingers are not junk food. Because they're delicious.0 -
junk = things I will feel guilty about eating
but I still eat them sometimes0 -
Stuff with numerous ingredients that are difficult to pronounce. Stuff that can live on inside a package for many months... Even years.0
-
Chips, candy, cookies,cake, pie, bread, sweetened beverages including bottled juices, anything with added sugar, anything with hydrogenated oils, pancakes, donuts, individual packets of sweetened oatmeal, cured meats, french fries, pasta, batter fried anything.0

Chips, pizza, cookies, cake, pie, ice cream...you know...all the junky junk food. Most of which is documented in my food diary.0

"Junk food" for me is anything that does not provide an over all nutritional benefit of some sort.0

How would you feel about an apple that had been put in a cardboard box by assembly line workers?0 -

What about mixed nuts or trail mixes? I dont think of all of those as junk food.0 -
I prefer to call them "discretionary calories" and I define them as foods that offer little to no protein and are calorie dense, heavy on the carbs and fats. I don't consider them "bad" or "junk" but they don't make up a lot of my day because they don't fit my macros. Once my protein goal is met though, BRING IT!0
