What is the difference between almonds and soda with respect to calories?

Almonds are nutrient-dense nuts that contain approximately 160-170 calories per ounce (about 28 grams), primarily from healthy fats, protein, and fiber. In contrast, a typical can of soda contains around 140 calories, mostly from added sugars and providing little to no nutritional value. While both can contribute to daily caloric intake, almonds offer beneficial nutrients, whereas soda primarily adds empty calories.
