      Yeah, that claim is pretty dubious.
      If it has almost no calories, then it has almost no mass.
      To get the approximate amount of calories in a piece, just measure its weight to get the mass (M in kg) and use the formula M * c * c * 0.2390057, where c is the speed of light in m/s.

        Mass has no direct relationship to calories. A gallon of water has 0 calories. A pound of salt has 0. Some things we eat provide necessary elements of nutrition but no energy/calories. Some things provide calories but have 0 nutritional value, like sugar. Most foods provide a mix of nutritional value and calories.

          Your comment is non-inclusive to trans personalities.
          For anyone that identifies as a black hole, all mass is calories.
