More than a third of adults in the United States eat fast food on any given day — this was the estimation presented in a 2018 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Eating fast food at such a frequency is hard to justify. While weight gain is one of the first and most obvious ill effects that come to mind, there are other possible ways regular consumption could affect our health.
Though these foods are high in calories, they provide little to no nutrients. The lack of fiber could mean low satiety, making you more likely to overeat and go over your recommended daily allowance.
"Your body is temporarily full with empty foods that don’t provide nourishment, so even though you may have eaten a lot of calories, you won’t be satisfied for long," Amy Shapiro, a nutritionist based in New York, told VICE.
