Is fast food same as junk food?

Answer 1

It basically depends on what kind of junk food you are having. Every item of food that we eat contains some nutritional value, but the fact is that junk foods contain more harmful things than beneficial ones. Therefore they are mostly avoided.

Answer 2

This would depend on the restuarant you are visiting. As a rule of thumb probably not.

However you can look it up to see if what you are eating is healthy. Try this website:

Just scroll through until you find the restuarant you want to eat at, and then just find the food you want to eat in their pdfs and add it all up.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

There is a large overlap in the two but their definitions are different. Fast food is food that is prepared in such a way that you receive it quickly when you order it. This can be healthy food (like salads and broiled meats) but it's just available quickly. Junk food refers to food that has empty calories, a lot of fat and/or sugar. Unfortunately, many fast food restaurants offer a lot of junk food. However, they have recently tried to offer healthy options while still serving them quickly.

Answer 4

There are nutrients in every sort of food, both good and bad.

Answer 5

depends on what type of junk food. junk food is always bad, one way or another
