I try to make most meals from simple foods and leave room for convenience. Frozen vegetables, canned beans and yogurt are processed too, but they help me eat better.
Are ultra-processed foods really that bad if your calories are still okay?

I’m confused because some people focus on calories only, while others say processed foods affect hunger, energy and health. What has been your experience?

I do not think you need to ban processed foods. But if most of my diet is packaged snacks, my energy and cravings get worse. Balance is more realistic than fear.
Calories matter, but food quality affects how easy it is to stay within them. I can eat chips quickly and still feel hungry. A meal with protein, fiber and vegetables keeps me full longer.
