Take two diets, both 3000 calories, same macros and micros (ignore bioavailability) Diet 1) Made up of non-processed foods. Vegetables, fruit, eggs, nuts, milk Diet 2) Made up of processed junk foods fortified with nutrients. Doritos, chocolate, doughnuts, hot dogs, etc.
Will a person's body composition be different or the same after each diet? Also assume similar fitness regimes or none at all.

>same macros and micros well technically yes, but obviously that's not really the case IRL; keeping your micros on point is what will help you stay "feeling" healthy, but you can certainly meat your daily macro requirements without exceeding your TDEE with junk, and your body composition won't be adversely affected, but your actual internal physical healthy might. Especially if your carbs come from a lot of processed sugars, say hello to those insulin spikes, and enjoy your increased risk of diabeetus later in life
James Thomas
same macros and micros
all the bad shit from processed junk food would be removed and the only difference would be shape/texture of the food and the packaging.
Alexander Murphy
kcals in > kcals out is a good premises for people to follow for cutting/maintenance/bulking. But only fucking mongs think it is really that simple. You will see much better results with clean eating.
Henry Perry
does the processed food have enough nutrients or is it just sugar carbs and fat?
Lincoln Bell
Diet 1 person would crave junk fold
Diet 2 person will be hungry all the time
Assuming they are nutritionally the same
Thats why you meet in middle

Your weight will most likely be the same but your health will not. You will get a lot of health problems if you have a lot of fatty foods like meat and oils in your diet. Also inflammation will differ a lot.
Liam James
Besides having the same macros, they are nutritionally identical with regard to vitamins and minerals.
Josiah Gonzalez
Junk food can make you unhealthy because of added artificial components, such as conservants and flavors. Clean eating isn't that hard and is rewarding.
Kevin Sullivan
there is no argument. unequivocally, the answer is that there will be a huge difference.
calories in/calories out is literally only relevant to WEIGHT gains and loss, not muscle gain and fat loss.food quality and macros are how you dictate the nature of that weight change.
Henry Nelson
Difference would be sharp spikes in insulin from the processed food and simple carbs present. Obviously processed food versus clean has a difference in things like glycemic index and glyemic load. Easier to just eat clean.

Brayden Ward
How can they have same Macros and micros when it is the micros that make the vegetables healthier you fantastic sperg
Jacob Rogers
its not even really possible. You can't get protein from junk food without so much carbs that it will blow you well above your TDEE. if im eating at 2800 and blow 1100 calories on a big mac meal that has 50g of fat, 150g of carbs and 30g of protein, I only have 1700 calories to go to get the other 150g of protein i need that day and that just isn't fucking happening. ESPECIALLY from OTHER junk food. The dietary make-up of junk food means you don't hit your macros perfectly, and even if you did all the other shit will give you cancer.
Brayden Baker
At least it's not happening without taking in too many carbs - the sugar in the foods OP is describing will totally destroy your carb macro
Isaiah Williams
Pork rinds are junk food and they're no carbs all protein and fat so is beef jerky
Elijah Long
>Doritos, chocolate, doughnuts, hot dogs, etc. There's a distinction between food that's a bit processed like a pork rind and junk food. That stuff is junk food.
So this thread is 17 replies in and nobody has said anything about the titties in OPs picture? That isnt your chest right?
Leo Allen
Classic case of bitch tits. Definitely OPs chest.
Jack Campbell

Jack Sanders
damn, this is a blue board, wear a bra m8 you can't show titties like that

sugar is a carb, user
Hunter Hall
You are making an imaginary scenario that only has imaginary answer.
So technically the body composition will be same but since that will literally never ever happen the Diet 2) will look and feel like shit because he lacks all important micro nutrients and his arteries are FUCKED from all the saturated fats. Enjoy cardiovascular diseases.
Bentley Mitchell
>tig ol bitties
Gavin Ortiz
that was not the question asked
the answer is yes.

I haven't seen that second study yet, thanks. Pretty hard to read but as expected plant protein is better than animal protein.
Also as others pointed out OPs assumptions don't make sense, even if fortified junk food is nowhere near as nutritious as unprocessed whole foods. There's more to nutrition than just vitamins and minerals.
