Foods that contain "empty calories" fill you body with calories, but not nutrients.
Explanation:
Empty calories is a food-related concept that refers to food with a high intake of fat and/or sugar but very little vitamins and minerals. The reason why the term is just called "empty" calories is that the calories do not contain anything valuable to the body apart from just calories, that is, this kind of food does not provide the body with any nutrient, but only fats and sugars. Examples of foods with empty calories are: sweets, ice cream and soft drinks. A high intake of empty calories can lead to overweight or malnutrition.
