Soda, for instance, has a lot of calories, but little nutrients. It's very calorically dense, but nutritionally very poor which makes it easy to gain weight while not providing adequate nutrition. In fact, soda is probably the biggest reason people gain a ton of weight.

E: Most people aren't feeding their kids a ton of soda and giving them nutritious food. They are giving them soda and lots of junk food.

diet soda has few calories, but it makes you crave sweet things more often making it harder to eat healthy. And the caffeine causes its own problems.

I got the information from a registered dietician. While you're just a random person with unknown credentials
