    So the study asked them to consume 1500 extra calories per day? Regardless of the source, that’s a confounding variable right there. I’d like to see this done again with a steady calorie count and just a different source for those calories. Personally, if I go nuts on the junk foods for a meal I typically find myself compensating by eating less of my normal, healthier diet.

      the issue is volume though. ~3500 calories of “healthy” foods will be physically harder to consume than 2000 calories of healthy foods and 1500 calories of “junk”.

      Americans have to go out of their way to not buy junk food since nearly everything sold in stores technically falls into that category.
