Curious as I see the phrase used quite a lot on here but have no idea what it means haha

Sweets, soda, basically junk with no nutritional value.
White carbs like white pasta, white rice and white bread too.
But I thought bread and pasta has quite a lot of protein in?

There is a sliding scale on empty carbs - some have no nutrients, others have small amounts, others have a fair bit, but you're still not eating a very healthy dinner, is the whole point. They may fortify pasta with iron and it does have a small amount of protein but it's still an empty carb compared to whole grain noodles with bolognese, for example.
