Is 6000 calories of organic kale considered "junk food"?

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.

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:

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!!

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!

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.

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

26.85 LBS.

HAHAHAHAHAH!

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

^^ Yup lol

"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.

The definition of "junk food" is as variable as the definition of "clean eating". There is no set standard.

Therefore, any food can be junk food, depending on who's definition you're using. To me, junk food is either food that I dislike, or food that won't help me reach my daily goals. Kale is always on the list. Guess why.

Pics or it never happened. Its kind of easy to own people when you make stuff up.

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".

One small piece of cake is a treat but cake every day is junk food. One serving of kale is vegetable but that much kale is junk food. Everything in moderation or it is junk food.

Dear Troll,
I'll bite.
it would be physically impossible to eat 6000 calories of kale in one day.
One cup of kale is 33 calories. (USDA)
To reach 6,000 calories of kale would require, as an earlier poster pointed out, about 182 cups of kale.
A pound of kale is approximately 8 cups.
So, it would take about 22.75 lbs. of kale to produce 6,000 calories.
Your stomach would burst, because its capacity is -- distended and full -- about 3 liters.
You could not physically do it without copious amounts of vomiting and/or defacating. I have not googled to find out how quickly your body would process the kale, but I am sure it would come up before it goes out.
Your stomach would burst and you would die of internal bleeding.
But... knock yourself out and give it a try.
