I wouldn’t be surprised if most thin people who claim to eat lots of junk food actually just eat a lot less regular food. In other words, they don’t eat many calories, but the calories they do eat are junk.

This. Plenty of times I've been to lazy to make dinner and ate 200g of chocolate and a coke in a single sitting.

  • I assume you mean a bar mostly consisting of dairy and sugar with a bit of chocolate -- making a meal out of actual high quality dark chocolate adds up, but can hardly be considered junk food. <3 my 90% dark Lindt chocolate bars -- between those and all the bacon I've been eating this year the pounds are falling off.

I would say this was partially true in my case. While I ate badly, I didn't eat huge portions regularly. I also didn't eat breakfast regularly then (and often don't now either). In college we got fish and chips takeaway once it twice a week,and while it was definitely the worst kind of junk, I would be full quicker than others. That said, I regularly put away a quarter pointer, portion of chips, fizzy drink and a cheese and onion pie (deep fried cheese basically, and amazing). And not an ounce of fat on my body.
