Question 1 Report

Which of the following food substances will have
little or no calorific value?
Answer Details
Water is the food substance that will have little or no calorific value. This is because water does not contain any significant amount of energy or calories that can be metabolized by the body to provide energy. While proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids all contain calories that can be used as a source of energy, water is primarily used by the body for hydration and other physiological functions but not for providing energy. Therefore, consuming water will not contribute significantly to the caloric intake of an individual.
