noncaloric
Without food energy
Noncaloric describes foods or beverages that contain no calories or so few as to be nutritionally insignificant: noncaloric sweeteners, noncaloric drinks.
The term appears most often in dietary contexts, distinguishing substances that provide taste without energy content.
Water is naturally noncaloric; diet sodas are artificially so.
