There are several foods that are sources of so-called "empty calories."

We are talking about high-calorie foods that only fill a person up for a short period of time.

It is worth eating such food only for the gastronomic pleasure.

But it is pointless to count on complete saturation, enormous benefits and a boost of energy.

A person on a diet should completely exclude these products from their diet.

What foods are sources of empty calories

The following types of food provide a short-term feeling of satiety, despite their rather high calorie content:

  • fast food;
  • buns;
  • candies.

It's all about the presence of fast carbohydrates.

Therefore, a person losing weight should give up pizza, hamburgers, hot dogs, sweets and some bakery products.

What to replace these products with

Those with a sweet tooth should pay attention to fruits. You can also use a little honey.

For people who love buns, there is an alternative: whole grain bread.

If it is difficult for a person to give up fast food, then it is worth including cereals and pasta made from durum wheat in the diet. Such food is beneficial for the body, saturates well and allows you to forget about unhealthy food.
