Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Empty calories are those that provide energy (calories) but have little to no nutritional value. They are typically found in foods that are high in added sugars and/or solid fats, such as candy, soda, and fried foods. These types of calories are not completely banned in a healthy diet, but should be limited to no more than 10% of daily calorie intake according to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Choosing foods that are nutrient-dense and provide essential vitamins and minerals is important for maintaining overall health and well-being.
