These dishes are often high in calories, sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats while being low in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals.

Many fast-food items contain between 800 and 1500 kcal per portion, primarily through a combination of refined carbohydrates and fats. Since these foods are often consumed quickly, the sensation of fullness sets in later—leading to overconsumption. Studies show that individuals who regularly consume fast food tend to have a higher average BMI and body fat percentage.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the context of fitness, this means: While those aiming to build muscle mass do require a caloric surplus, it should ideally come from nutrient-dense sources.
