Tag: Sugar water calories

Glucose is a simple carbohydrate that provides 4 calories per gram. Therefore, the caloric content of glucose water depends entirely on its concentration and how much is consumed. A standard intravenous 5% dextrose solution provides approximately 170 calories per liter, though concentrations can vary greatly in commercially available and homemade versions.

Plain water, often historically called 'sweet water,' contains zero calories, with no carbohydrates or fats. However, if you mean water with added sweeteners, such as sugar or flavorings, the calorie count can increase dramatically, impacting your daily intake significantly.
