Working Out Calories In Cordial

I love my cordial and I've a bit confused on how to work out the calories. I did contact Golden Circle and they said that the serving size of 200mls is when it's diluted. This is weird because water doesn't have calories so why work it out diluted?

I have been just having 125mls of cordial in a large glass and just fill it will water. The taste is perfect but not sure about the calories.

Can anyone help?

    It's 106 c/oz non-diluted.

    125 mL is over 4 oz.

    Yes, their method seems strange.

    Thank you.

    I think I've worked out out to workout the calories. The cordial is made up of 1 part cordial and 4 parts water. A serve is 200mls. That makes the cordial 40mls and that make the cordial 64 calories. Easy peasy now.

    I've added it to the database just as the cordial concentrate. So much easier to work it out now.

    I was using much more cordial. It makes sense now why I didn't lose in my first week back. But I know where I went wrong I can fix it.
