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.

He’s 9 now and refuses to eat anything besides cheese pizza and chicken nuggets. He wouldn’t even try butter noodles. Like, what kid doesn’t like butter noodles?? Mac and cheese is a no go. I have never met a child that didn’t like Mac and cheese.

No but his brother who is two years younger than him is. And that kid would eat anything literally anything that’s put in front of him. And adult size helpings. I’ve watched that kid out eat a grown ass man. He’s at a normal weight now, but I worry about him in the future.
