liquid calories
Nutrition you sip
Liquid calories are the energy obtained from beverages rather than solid food—sodas, juices, alcohol, sweetened coffee drinks.
The term typically appears in nutrition and dieting contexts, where liquid calories are noted for being easy to overconsume: I cut out liquid calories and lost ten pounds.
The body processes them differently than food, often without triggering the same fullness signals.
