A glass of Cola will give you 80 calories. An apple too will give you 80 calories. However the 80 calories you get when you eat an Apple will also be accompanied by many vitamins, minerals, fiber, anti oxidants etc. However from Cola you get 80 calories from Sugar only and has no other vitamins, or any benefit to the body. Rather consuming Cola on a regular basis can cause obesity, sugar and other problems. Hence such calories from Colas, liquor, junk food are called as empty calories.
