    Hmm, never heard anyone use calories to define "junk food" before. But, then I've also never heard anyone expect a food to be the single supplier of every nutrient needed in order not to be called "junk food".

    just curious. if you ingested 6000 calories in 1 day. clearly this would cause you to gain weight, right? therefore it must be "junk food". also, by itself it's lacking many vital nutrients.

    :huh:

    Sounds like it wouldnt fit in my macros.

    I was wondering how on earth you were going to manage to eat that.

    But I did find someone who can eat 6000+ calories of kale in a day.

    Why would you subject yourself to such torture? Replace the Kale with bacon and you will be the happiest human alive.

    INCORRECT! If you burn 6,000 calories a day (my son is a swimmer and has 3% bodyfat) you WOULD NOT gain weight. In fact its very possible he would LOSE weight off 6,000 calories so he has to eat more!

    So umm! Oooooh I OWNED U!!

    I'm giving everybody 3 guesses as to how I know this is bovine feces...

    Do it and tell me what happens.

    Either diarrhea or constipation... not sure which.

    Since diarrhea is one potential symptom of constipation, you could very well end up with both.

    I consider it a "diarrhea food" if you eat that much.

    If I ingested 6 thousand calories of kale in one day I would die from an overload of nastiness.
    Exactly. That is, if it even possible to ingest 26 pounds of greens in a day. I don't think it is.

    "Junk food" doesn't mean high calorie, and it isn't junk food because you gain weight eating it. You can eat junk food and not gain weight if you stay under a certain calorie level. "Junk food" means not natural, processed foods full of chemicals and preservatives. So no, kale, even 6000 calories of kale, cannot be considered junk food.

    With a megadose of vit K like that he'd be lucky to live long enough - a great recipe for a clot-induced heart attack or stroke!

    But, but... 26 pounds of greens is not good for you! Therefore, 1 pound of greens is not good for you!

    Because science!

    I am obsessed with kale, but you would have to eat an awful lot of it to get 6000s calories.

    3%?! That's shockingly low. Hard to believe it's not bull.

    Edit:
    He should have more body fat, even if his body fat % is in the 1 digits. In fact, his results will increase; buoyancy.

    Well, I'm glad someone here has a handle on the whole junk food vs. health food debate.
