Probably there is some minimum, because when you drink just regular water that has some calories as well. And not drinking for a day might be he worst dietary idea ever.

UPDATE: Water doesn't contain calories. Sorry for the misinformation.

My mouth (actually my hands) was faster then my brain. :-)

Please explain where the calories in plain water come from.

According to mass-energy equivalence, every gram of water contains ~2.15*10^13 calories.

So where can I sign up for having my stomach replaced with a matter-antimater reactor or whatever it is this gadget that actually gives me access to this energy?

I think you're missing an algebraic sign there.

I assume you are talking on the physics e=mc^2 type level rather than an energy store that can be metabolized by your body.

If regular water has calories in it, then I would not be willing to drink it. ;)
