This sweetened tea has 38 kcal and 7.9 g sugar per 100 g. A 500 ml bottle delivers ~39.5 g sugar — close to a soda. Per serving SSB raises type 2 diabetes risk by 13% (Imamura et al., BMJ 2015). Track every glass.
How should I track Tea, black, decaffeinated?
Liquid calories from Tea, black, decaffeinated 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.
