What is this food?
Softdrink (cola) — a sweet, carbonated drink. Per 100 g, it has about 41 kcal and 9.4 g sugar, with 0 g fiber and very low fat and cholesterol.
Why it matters to health
Cola mainly adds added sugar and calories without much filling nutrition (no fiber). Too much sugary drinks can make it harder to balance your daily intake, especially if you’re having 3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks a day. It’s also easy to overdrink because it’s liquid, so the sugar adds up quickly. The good part: if you’re keeping it occasional, it can fit into a balanced diet without taking over your plate.
Healthier tips
- Use cola as an occasional drink, not a daily habit.
- When you want something sweet, try smaller portions (e.g., a small can or a few sips) and pair it with food that has fiber and protein (like rice + ulam, or yogurt + fruit).
- For snacks, choose better options more often: water, unsweetened tea, milk, or fruit.
- If you’re craving soda, start by mixing (less cola + more water/ice) or gradually reducing frequency.
