I don't know. I guess they're calories that don't have any micronutrients along with them.

>>18286268
Calories empty of any other nutrients.

celery i guess

>What exactly are empty calories?
99% of American food

energy intake that is not accompanied by other nutrients
>low value calorie intake

I love celery

>>18286281
Celery is considered a negative calorie food (though that's not really true). Empty calories typically refer to shit like refined sugars. They're full of calories but aren't nutritious and wont give you energy throughout the day. Alcohol is also a perfect example.

>What exactly are empty calories?
Short chained sugars that easily break down in your body giving you a sugar spike to then quickly recede.

In contrast, fibers (like the name suggest) have longer molecular chains and take longer for your body to break down, giving you a moderate amount of blood sugar for a longer period of time.

you sound like someone who knows at least a little something about nutrishon.

why is pulp free OJ so much worse for you than pulpy OJ?

>>18286315
1. It's the pulp contains fibers.

2.Pulp in in juice guarantees that it (at least partially) comes form fruit instead of being just sugar and artificial sweeteners.

>>18286350
that doesn't sound like a comprehensive answer anon

>>18286268
carbs + fat [and carbs derived from alcohol]
Protein is the only macro that matters

>>18286300
Empty calories will give you plenty of energy, but no nourishment so you'll gradually start feeling worse and worse as vitamin deficiencies set in.

>>18286371
You need fats in your diet, you body uses it to maintain cellular membranes.

>>18286374
I eat a 50/15/35 split of protein/fat/carbs, doing zero fat/carbs is stupid. Normalfags don't lift and get like 50g of protein per day while getting way too many calories in their gullets

>>18286368
Why would it have to sound comprehensive? Those are the reasons. If you expected store bought juice with pulp to be a lot better than sorry, it's not.

If you want good juice then you should press it yourself. Even then, too much juice (or fruit) isn't healthy either.

>>18286371
High protein diets are not good for your liver.

You want protein and fat, and some fiber.

And you want to avoid sugars at any cost.

Normal OJ would tragically be associated with your mysterious murder but luckily be acquitted. But if he was a pulp hero he could save your life.
Real answer, there are two types of fiber hard and soft. Hard is undigestible plant fibers that essentially scraps your intestines and allow for healthier digestion overall. That's normally stuff like the skin or maybe celery. Soft fibers help regulate your insulin levels. So in the case of fruit the majority of energy is stored in the form of glucose I.E. sugar. The pulp is more or less made of soft fiber so it helps your body digest the sugar in a healthy way rather than just drinking pure sugar water which is what juice essentially is without pulp. It's worth mentioning even with pulp juice is a relatively unhealthy way to consume fruit. Ultimately you should consider just eating a whole fruit instead of drinking juice. But I'm also sure there are worse things you could drink. Besides I'm not a sign I can't tell you what to do.

Let's say you are a big boy, working hard all day and relaxing towards the end of the night. You'd probably need your 3 meals a day, and maybe a snack if it's a really laborious day in order to have all the energy you need and to keep from starving. As you eat your meals, you'll probably be getting all the vitamins, minerals, and other things your body needs to keep running if you have a varied and balanced diet. Now if you don't have a balanced diet, chances are that you'll be getting all the energy (calories) you need, but not much of the other stuff. It's pretty much a calorie/other nutrient ratio, with foods that have high calories to low nutrient content being "empty calories".

Yes and? Continue the story about me being a big boy.

Wtf is going on.

>>18286268
It's a word used to describe calories from ingredients that do not contribute to the dish.
If it adds calories, but doesn't satiate or satisy, it's "empty".

>>18286268
Take a watermelon, add sugar to it, the sugar is the empty calories

>>18286372
this. empty calories means only macronutrients and no micronutrients

If your cum has no nutritional value you really fucked up somewhere down the line

>>18286268
Things that are high in sugar/carbs with little nutritional value. Stuff that your stomach breaks down instantly.
