>>can anybody tell me what the phrase 'empty calories' is supposed to mean
Simple sugars or fats that don't provide any nutritional value would be empty calories. Protiens or complex carbohydrates would be the prefered (full?) calories.
>> a calorie is a calorie
Yes, this is true. The issue is how your body uses the calorie. (store it or burn it)
