In human nutrition, the term empty calories applies to foods and beverages composed primarily or solely of sugar, certain fats and oils, or alcohol-containing beverages. These supply food energy but little to no other nutrition in the way of vitamins, minerals, protein, fiber, or essential fatty acids.Wikipedia
So I try not to drink pop or soda because one it's not good for you but two because of empty calories. Also, being diabetic makes it just a bad food choice. Needless to say, that doesn't mean I don't love a good cold can of Cherry Coke. I have one every couple of weeks to kill the urge. Today I had one and it was heaven. I also like them cause they make me burp. I know its disgusting but it felt great. I had to check and make sure I wasn't growing fur after I belched today. I sounded like a bear.
What are some of drinks you love, empty calories or not?
