What causes the difference

In these two examples, the changes are: type of drink — kombucha → grape juice, ice — a lot of ice → light ice.

Ice: A lot of ice → Light iceType: Kombucha → Grape juice
  • The kombucha in this comparison provides about 13 kcal per 100 ml; the grape juice provides about 60, mostly from sugar.
  • Adding more ice reduces the amount of caloric drink that fits in the fixed-size glass. The effect depends on how much liquid the ice displaces.
  • The full glass of juice has a calorie total comparable to a slice of bread, even though one is a drink and the other is solid food.
