Currently, many of the foods and beverages Americans eat and drink contain
empty calories – calories from solid fats and/or added sugars. Solid fats and
added sugars add calories to the food but few or no nutrients. For this reason,
the calories from solid fats and added sugars in a food are often called empty
calories. Learning more about solid fats and added sugars can help you make
better food and drink choices.

Empty Calories
All foods provide calories, but not all of them provide the micronutrients that are
also essential for life. Foods that are high in calories but low in other nutrients are
referred to as "empty calories" because they contain energy but little in the way of
essential nutrients. Your body requires a certain amount of every vitamin and mineral
each day. Eating a high amount of foods that are high in empty calories will cause
a nutrient deficiency which can result in a wide range of problems.
Sources of Empty Calories
Foods high in empty calories mainly come from highly processed junk food.
Processing typically strips a food of its nutrients to make it taste better. Examples
of empty calorie foods include: white bread, fast food, sweets (cookies, brownies,
cakes, doughnuts), sodas, fruit juices and sweet tea. These foods are also known
as energy dense foods because they only contain calories.
The opposite of energy dense is nutrient dense. Nutrient dense foods are those that
are very high in nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants.
They are typically found in foods that aren't processed and include: fruits, vegetables,
100% whole wheat flour (whole wheat bread/pasta), brown rice, beans, nuts, seeds
and seafood. A healthy diet should be high in nutrient dense foods.

Nutrients
Your body needs two main types of nutrients: macronutrients and micronutrients.
Macronutrients (fats, carbs, and proteins) provide your body with energy while
micronutrients provide your body with vitamins, minerals and other substances that help
regulate physiological functions (ex: enzyme/hormone production, energy metabolism
and proper immune protection). Without micronutrients, your body would not be able to
function.
