Generally it is someone that eats what they want when they want it as long as it fits in their daily calorie/macros goal. So if you want to eat a bacon cheeseburger, fries, pop and a twinkie, you do as long as it fits in your daily goals. Where as a "clean eater" would generally choose chicken breasts, vegetables, fruit, water. Both are fine. You will lose weight as long as you eat at a deficit. I wouldn't recommend eating "dirty" 100% of the time, partly because it would be hard to maintain a deficit, especially if your calorie goal is lower. I think a good rule is 80/20. Eat healthy 80% of the time, but enjoy the things you love. Don't be afraid of "junk" food.
What makes a bacon cheeseburger dirty and a chicken breast clean? Does the combination of meat, bread, and veggies somehow make it dirty? If you had these things separately, would they go back to their "clean" state?
Bacon cheeseburger: full of artery-clogging fat and grease.
Chicken breast: lean, low-fat protein.0 -

Fat does not clog arteries.
The entire idea that fatty meat is "dirty" while lean meat is "clean" is ridiculous beyond belief and is a fundamental violation of the entire history of humanity.0 -
See this phrase quite a lot in posts ..what does it mean?
I don't shower between my morning run and my first meal.
Does that count?
Just chew an Orbit and we're all good.
:drinker:
Oh, there will come a day...!

I just read an article on "clean eating", which is no processed foods, lean meats, whole wheat breads, hard cheeses ...
Bread and cheese are both highly processed foods.
So are lean meats, for that matter.0 -

lol there is nothing wrong with getting x percent of your diet from fat ..I aim for about 30% from fat in my macros...0 -
no processed foods
whole wheat breads
hard cheeses
These are mutually exclusive.
Whole wheat bread and cheese are prime examples of processed food."clean eating", which is no processed foods, lean meats
"dirty eating" is.. fatty meats
Why is lean meat "clean" but fatty meat "dirty"??
fatty meat is dirty because it has the word "fatty" in it....0 -
remember when you were a kid and you used to make "mud pie" now, that stuff was freaking DIRTY....0

Easy now! Those are fightin' words.0 -
So clean eating is eating a low fat diet? Or eating "non processed" foods? Because I don't see why fatty meat is somehow more "processed" than lean meat, I really don't.0

Just labeling a food as "dirty" implies that there's something wrong with it. In my opinion, demonizing any kind of food is just one step away from giving an eating disorder a foothold.0 -
I don't think anyone really knows but when people like to write about it they like how it sounds so they just say it0

In my experience if often leads to unnecessary alarmism and unhealthy outcomes.. At the root is a way to cut down on process foods and refined sugars, which is always good for helping promote better eating habits.0
