This light fruit drink has 29 kcal per 100 g. The "light" label often means partial sugar replacement with non-nutritive sweeteners. Lower calories than regular versions, but still mostly water and flavoring — not real fruit.
How should I track Fruit Drink, Reduced Sugar, Vitamin C, Calcium Added?
Liquid calories from Fruit Drink, Reduced Sugar, Vitamin C, Calcium Added are easy to overlook because drinks do not trigger the same fullness signals as solid food. A meta-analysis (Wehling & Lusher, Am J Clin Nutr 2021) confirmed that people underreport beverage intake more than solid food. Most people pour 30–50% more than the label serving size without realizing it. Use a kitchen scale to weigh your glass or bottle once — you will know your exact pour going forward. This one calibration step can save you from hundreds of untracked calories per week.
