Eating food high in calories could be good or bad depending on your agenda and the types of food you are eating. Most high calorie foods are unhealthy because they are loaded with saturated fat and little nutrients.

Most junk food is processed food which means that the food is mostly stripped of nutrients. Many of them are also added with chemicals to prolong their shelf life. Snacks such as candy, chips, popcorn, marshmallows, beef jerky, french fries, sodas, etc., are usually added with chemical preservatives and are low in essential vitamins and minerals.

“Fat” is a word that most people frown upon because of how our society conditioned us to believe that fat is bad. Fat has more stored energy (calories) but that doesn’t necessarily mean that you will get fat from eating fat.
