empty kilojoules is the word given to food staffs or drinks that provide you with energy (joules or Kilojouels) but not any vitamins or minerals whatsoever. Put simply it is a food that you eat that has no real nutritional value other that energy.A good example is carbonated soft drinks, the give you loads of sugar, but no mineral or vitamin in that energy. Foods (and I am using the term loosely) such as chocolate bars and potato crisps - you know the ones they have right at eye level in the supermarket aisles.
