True. Empty calories are calories that provide little to no nutritional value. They are often found in sugary foods like candies, sodas, and desserts, as well as carbohydrate-based meals like white bread and pasta. Foods with high fat content, such as fried foods and processed snacks, also tend to have empty calories. Consuming too many empty calories can lead to weight gain and nutrient deficiencies, as they do not provide the essential vitamins, minerals, and other beneficial nutrients that our bodies need.
