Foods that supply only discretionary calories are typically those high in added sugars and unhealthy fats, such as candies, pastries, soda, and fast food. These items provide energy without significant nutritional value, meaning they lack essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Consuming them in moderation is important, as they can contribute to weight gain and health issues if eaten excessively. Therefore, they should be considered treats rather than staples in a balanced diet.
