Junk food is translated literally as la comida basura in the dictionary on this site, but I've also heard la comida chatarra.

I've heard 'no come más que porquerías' - doesn't sound very appetizing does it.

La comida que es bueno para el sabor, mas mal para el cuerpo.

In Santiago, the "basureros" used to come round and collect it daily so I propose that you should use "basura". As for "junk food" there's almost certainly some better way of saying it but it escapes me.
