Is Pickle Juice Fattening
Let’s look at the hard math, because I know your high school algebra teacher never prepared you for this. One fluid ounce of pickle juice—about the size of a large gulp—contains roughly zero calories. That’s right. Nada. Zilch. It’s a ghost in the calorie department.
A typical serving, say a quarter-cup (two ounces), hovers around 5 to 10 calories. To put that in perspective, you burn more calories just by worrying about whether your jeans are getting tight. You could chug an entire pint of the stuff and still have fewer calories than a single Oreo cookie. The pickles themselves might have a few more due to the cucumbers, but the juice? It’s practically a freebie.
