Imagine you have a special plate for your body that needs all the right kinds of food to keep you healthy and strong. Some foods have good things your body needs, like vitamins and energy. But there are some foods that look yummy but don’t give your body anything useful. These foods are like “empty calories.” They taste nice, but they don’t give your body any power or strength
