question about diet coke

karanicky

Does anyone know why diet coke has 0 calories when it comes from a fountain? Is that accurate? I know bottled diet coke does have some calories, so I was just checking

I was not aware that Diet Coke in any form had calories? All data I see shows 0 calories. Where did you gather your information from?

@CabernetTom
Logging diet coke in cronometer comes up as it having 0.3 calories per fl oz according to the 77 listed nutrients with NCCDB data

It's a minuscule amount-- I was just curious haha

Got ya! All in all, regardless of calories, it's the phosphoric acid that's not so great in the product, especially for females.

Diet Coke is allowed to round down to "0" given how few calories it has per standard serving.

Kind regards,
