unhealthy food
Bad dietary choices
Food that lacks nutritional value or actively harms health when consumed regularly—high in sugar, salt, saturated fat, or processed ingredients.
The term covers fast food, sugary snacks, and heavily processed items: I've been eating too much unhealthy food lately.
Also called junk food.
The line between unhealthy and merely indulgent depends on quantity and context.
