Yeah, I think in response to supersize me.

Funnily, I’ve done the same thing. I lose weight really easily so way back before I developed a strict calorie schedule I would eat a lot of fast food and snacks like chips for time/calorie efficiency but still be underweight. Weight is basically all calories, but looking good at specific weights usually requires exercise.

Had elevated cholesterol though, so can also confirm it’s not great for you. It may have been fine if I was exercising as well, but I never ate as poorly as he did to make the point so I only got close.
