Yes and No..Water itself contains no calories so if you drink water at body temperature, you will neither gain nor lose calories. However, if you drink cold water, your body will burn a small number of calories warming up the water. Yes, but how many?First it is important to note the difference between a calorie and a Calorie. By definition a calorie is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at one atmosphere pressure. What we commonly call a Calorie (with a big C) is actually a kilocalorie, or 1000 little calories.

Since body temperature is 37.5 degrees Celsius and there are apx 997 grams of water in a liter, we burn about 37,000 calories (37 Calories) for every liter of almost freezing ice water we drink.

If we drink the recommended 8 cups/2 liters of water per day, 74 calories isn't much when compared to a 2000 Calorie a day diet, but over a year that adds up to around 27,000 Calories burned just by drinking your water ice cold instead of warm!

No, all of the water consumed will then just go in and out your body, if you really want to gain weight, after you eat, drink 1 cup of milk or a protein shake.

By drinking 32 oz of water how many calories have you burned?

Lots of sites say different things, some say you can burn 70 calories by drinking iced water, others say 100, but some also say only 2-3 calories can be burned.
