Explain the connection between energy-dense and empty-calorie foods.
What will be an ideal response?
Many energy-dense foods are nutrient poor, or contain low levels of nutrients given their caloric value. These foods are sometimes referred to as empty-calorie foods and include products such as soft drinks, sherbet, hard candy, alcohol, and cheese twists. Excess intake of energy-dense and empty-calorie foods increases the likelihood that calorie needs will be met or exceeded before nutrients needs are met.
