Junk food

Junk food is a pejorative term for food containing high levels of calories from sugar or fat with little fibre, protein, vitamins or minerals.Junk food can also refer to high protein food like meat prepared with saturated fat. Food from many hamburger outlets, pizza and fried chicken outlets is often considered as junk food.

Diet is an important part of your overall health. A diet high in saturated and trans fats raises blood cholesterol — a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Too much sodium can raise your blood pressure and too much fat and sugar can lead too besity, both of which may contribute to heart disease as well.

Health risks related to unhealthy eating include over-consumption, lack of fruit and vegetables, and saturated fat intake. ... Eating sufficient fruit and vegetables can help prevent cancer, ischaemic heart disease and—to a lesser extent—stroke.

You can definitely enjoy "junk foods", workout, and still get results at the gym as long as your calorie and macro are appropriate for your fitness goals. Junk foods or healthy foods both contain calories and macros. If you eat too much healthy foods,you can still get fat anyways due to excess calories/macros.
