Does Doing This Add Calories?

I eat 1 cup of frozen blueberries. The blueberries are listed as having 80 calories for 1 cup. If I add water to the blueberries, does this make the calories more than 80 for that cup?

Or, my salad dressing has 30 calories for 1 tablespoon. When the bottle is empty, if I add a bit of water to the bottle and drink that, does this count as additional calories?

Thank you,

    Adding water won't add calories to anything.

    What if it's this amazing alkaline water (guaranteed to help with weight loss when you drink it instead of soda and juice!) that I'm absolutely not advertising for my own personal gain and profit (PM me for details)?

    Structured entrainer water with superhuman performance encoder or GTFO.

    What if you put one blueberry in a measuring cup, and add water to a total of one cup? That's still 80 calories, right?

    No the water doesn't add any calorie count

    But I'd get a food scale and throw away your cups

    If water is in the cup taking up room that would have been filled with blueberries, then the cup of blueberries with water would have less calories than a cup of blueberries without water.

    If the cup is first filled with blueberries and then water is added so the water is filling only space previously filled by air, then calories would remain unchanged.

    Thank you, makes perfect sense. The blueberries are in the bowl and water added.

    Well to get snit picky for a second, the water doesn't but there would be calories (sodium, fat etc) in the residual salad dressing coating the inside of the bottle.....
