Daily Consumption and Calories
If you drink diet soda every day, you might assume it’s entirely calorie-free. However, the truth is that diet sodas contain trace amounts of calories, often less than 5 per serving. Though the FDA allows these to be labeled as zero, consuming several cans daily can add up.
Metabolic Impact
Drinking diet soda regularly can also affect your metabolism, as artificial sweeteners can trick the brain into thinking you’re consuming sugar, leading to increased cravings for high-calorie foods.
Conclusion
While diet soda has minimal calories, its metabolic effects, particularly from daily consumption, can influence overall calorie intake through cravings and hunger.
