Maybe i should just log it up 250ml 1 cal even the label saying it is zero without any worries btw thanks

Yes, if you want to, you could do that.

Personally I wouldnt bother logging it at all - as 1 calorie here or there is irelevant.
I have no illusions that my logging is accurate to the last calorie anyway.

But if you prefer logging absolutely everything, then, sure, you could.

i just count it as <5 calories but usually can't finish any sodas since they're too fizzy or strong

250 mL diet coke is 1 calorie. 0.1 g protein, 0.3 g carbs.

They lie here in my country im from Philippines, Coca Cola Zero. 0g carbs, 0g protein, and a bit of sodium. And i think they try to fool people here because calorie counting is not that popular here not like any other countries. People here rely at scientific diet and any fads lol, and they doesn't believe that losing weight is just a single equation eat less or at deficit move more if necessarily.

The fat Filipinos in the Philippines have money. They can afford to buy more food than they need to. As for diet soda, don't trip. I've been drinking it for over 25+ years and it saves me a ton of calories. And yes I'm Filipino.

ninerbuff can correct me if this is wrong - but I don't think he is in the Phillipines like you.

I think he is in America ( of Philippino descent)

I had no idea there were fat Filipinos.

There is a great diaspora if Filipinos around the world, including Canada.

Many people lives here love to drink soda especially those teenagers here. I don't know why too because they can't live the party without drinking a regular soda including me lol I can't say no to those friend offerings.
