WHAT ARE EMPTY CALORIES?

Empty calories are those foods that contain little, if any nutritional value to your diet. There are several negatives regarding empty calories, but here is a small list:

- Empty calories are generally extremely high in calories and fat.

- Empty calories aren't very fulfilling and leave hunger lurking around the next Diet Bend (or is that Diet Binge....).

They are much like the soda/water fixation in which an individual's thirst doesn't get quenched with soda, rather leaves one craving more soda (The Sugar Fix).

The more you drink water, you'll soon find it to be your favorite 'beverage' preference.

- Empty calories translate into 'quick weight gains' if left unaccounted in the diet.

A few examples of empty calories are: hard candies, cotton candy and candy bars without nuts.  But empty calories are more than 'just about candy'.

These are also empty calorie foods, but they do contain a small amount of nutritional value to your diet: cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, custard pies, gravies, sauces, salad dressings, Mayo, mustard, catsup, chips, cheese balls/curls/toes and puddings.
