I'm also not sure if you're being serious here. Bit of a mind-boggling post.

Empty calories basically refers to food with little to no actual 'good' nutritional value. Like most junk food. High in sodium, sugar and simple carbs. Very little nutritional value, and just causes unhealthy blood sugar spikes.

There is a ton of information out there on how your body responds to the types of food you can eat. Bit strange that people don't educate themselves.
