Empty calories will help you get FAT?
By now everyone knows what calories are and how they influence your weight and your daily energy level. Calories are measuring unit for energy. They tell you how much energy you can get out of the specific food. Our bodies are like furnaces. Human body burns food like furnace burns wood logs.
When you trying to eat healthy or lose weight, counting calories in your daily food alone isn't enough. Calories come from many different sources (meat, sugar, bread, soda and other). Some calories bring more nutritional value that others. For example, let’s take the same amount calories from piece of steak and soda pop. It will take longer to digest steak, calories in steak are accumulated from protein, fat, carbohydrates, compared to sugary soda pop, all of the calories comes from sugar and corn syrup.
"Empty calories, in casual dietary terminology, are a measurement of the energy present in high-energy foods with poor nutritional profiles, with most of the energy typically coming from processed carbohydrates, fats, or ethanol. Also known as a discretionary calorie, an "empty calorie" has the same energy content as any other calorie but lacks many accompanying nutrients such as vitamins, dietary minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, or dietary fiber. Although carbohydrates, fats and water are also nutrients, they are typically ignored for this analysis, with the exception of essential fatty acids. "
