I get the impression that we’re in agreement but just arguing semantics here. Instead of categorizing food as either healthy or unhealthy, we should be asking what food to eat in order to achieve a given goal with your life circumstances. And not everyone has the same goal or life. Saying that something is healthy/unhealthy in absolute terms implies that it’s always/never a good idea to consume them, regardless of your situation.

There’s merit in using the terms “healthy” and “unhealthy” from a public health perspective when you’re giving broad nutrition advice that applies to the majority of people, but that’s not what’s happening here. We’re specifically talking about athletes.
