zero calorie
Nutritionally empty label
Zero calorie describes food or drink containing no calories or so few as to be metabolically negligible.
Regulatory standards typically allow "zero calorie" labels when a serving contains fewer than five calories.
Diet sodas and black coffee are common examples: I switched to zero calorie drinks.
The term often appears hyphenated when modifying a noun: a zero-calorie sweetener.
