Explanation:

Water does not contain fats, carbohydrates or proteins, so therefore it does not contain any calories. Water is essential to our body's energy system, because it helps to transport the energy from the breakdown of foods into your cells, yet the water itself will not add calories to your body. Zero calories results in zero weight gain.
