Unfortunately, there is no list. There are calories in all foods.
There is a few foods that equals to 3,500 calories. You can get foods that are fresh like veggies and fruits.
Well, most food will have to be made from products either bought at the store or grown. Most grown fruits and vegetables have the same nutritional value. (Those can be found at the attached link.) Let's say you are making cookies, the flour, butter, milk and eggs all will have nutritional information on the package that they came in. If you combine all of their information, you will get the nutritional value for your meal. (If it makes more than one serving, divide the total by how many servings. Example - You make breaded chicken for 3 people. The total calories is 900. That means each piece / serving of chicken is 300 calories.)
Fruits and vegetables are the best low calorie foods that will help you lose weight. They are high in fibre and in nutrients. You will lose weight by filling up on fruits and vegetables.
They are called "empty" calories because they contain little to no nutritional value at all.
An "empty calorie" is a loose term used to describe caloires from foods or drinks that have no nutritional value. This means that, for the percentage of caloires they provide to your diet, there are very few to no minerals, vitamins, or nutrients, and empty calories tend to be high in suagrs, starches, and fats.
There are almost countless foods that are considered to be or to contain "empty" calories. These are foods that have very little to no nutritional value for their high calorie, fat, and sugar content. Some examples include potatoe chips, high-sugar sodas, highly processed white flour, and candy.

Generally Not. Only sugar naturally in fruits should be eaten. Overconsumption of sugar can cause many diseases. Further it is empty calories. Meaning that when you eat foods sweetened with extra sugar like candy, you are consuming calories with little if any nutritional value. Also sugar is bad for your teeth.
There are very few foods that have no nutrients whatsoever, but still have calories. More foods would fall into the range that they contain calories, but very little nutrients. These are known as "empty calories", meaning that they really do not help for the body. Some examples of these would be fried foods, refined sugars / starches, bleanced flours, and high-fat foods (like butter and lard).
