Bodybuilding and Junk Food
« on: October 25, 2008, 04:51:48 AM »
Could someone please explain to me what "junk food" means in bodybuilding terms?
I know a lot of food that tastes like junk, but I think it means something else.

Calories can't be one of the properties, since you could eat a small amount of "junk food".

So it's sugar and saturated fats?

What is "junk" about sugar in terms of bodybuilding?
What is "junk" about saturated fats in terms of bodybuilding?

Anyways, I'm gettin' me one of those right now (the one on the right, of course). Would that be considered "junk"?

I think I may have figured it out now. I made a funny observation at my Burger King restaurant: I did not see one obese person, including the personnel. 90% were actually pretty slim, 10% maybe a little overweight, all were enjoying life, eating foods they like. That only leaves one conclusion: In the US, they add a secret ingredient called "junk" to all the delicious foods we like to eat in Europe. This ingredient makes people fat. That's my new theory.

I think it's a catch all for processed food. That's at least as I see it. I don't eat junk food, I eat only stuff that isn't heavily processed.

Yes but that does not answer the question.
One could argue that some processes decrease the potential health effects of certain foods.
My question however was related to bodybuilding only, meaning change of body composition.
