What does "eat clean" actually mean?
The short version
Usually nothing specific. There's no agreed definition.
Overall eating pattern and context matter more than labelling foods good or bad.

Better questions
Am I eating enough protein? Enough fruit, veg and fibre? Is my intake about right for my goals? Do I enjoy it?
What actually matters
- 01No food is morally good or bad
- 02Overall pattern matters
