    I'm just curious as to why we are looking up the nutritional content of cough syrup. Planning to make it a regular part of your diet? :p

    It's been part of my diet for a few days. I think I'll hit up my doctor before it becomes a staple though.

    I seriously doubt this since a tablespoon of sugar is only 15 calories. Doubt The active ingredient is making up the remaining calories.

    A teaspoon of sugar is 15 calories - so a Tablespoon would be 45. A dose of Nyquil is 30mL, which is about two tablespoons (90 calories if all sugar).

    Don't forget that liquid Nyquil also contains 10% alcohol by volume.

    Right - just demonstrating that a dose of Nyquil could indeed be 90 calories. One poster above thought that wasn't reasonable.

    Yep, I'm with ya! Just trying to bolster your argument. ;)
