How can a food have no calories but carbs?
I just logged the SoBe Life water that I drank and realized that for the 20 oz bottle it has 15 grams of carbs but yet says that its zero calories. I thought that each gram of carb contained 4 calories? So shouldn't this drink be 60 calories? Or am I missing something?
