What is a definition of calories? or what are they ? 2. what does it mean when they say empty calories ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Calorie=energy: Calories are a measurement of the amount of energy in a food. Empty calories are those that do not have other nutrients in them (sugars are "empty calories"--they provide energy, but no other nutritional building blocks).
