Yes, there is about 20 calories in each one.

Yes, it counts but... That's like counting calories in veggies or fruits (well, fruits maybe since they are loaded with sugar but still)... I ate nothing but fruits and vegetables for a month and I lost over 40 pounds (yea, long story).

I think it's great that you're being responsible and that you're counting your calories but when someone uses that word, it encompasses everything. Meaning, in calories not only are carbs, fats, sugars, and sodium included but so are the vitamins and minerals that the product may contain. That's why, for example, if you were to eat a salad with all kinds of stuff except dressing and meat, I would put down zero calories.

What i'm saying, and I hope I have this right, even if you take two bottles of Maalox a day, you won't gain a pound because I don't see what will make you fat from them. Look on the back of the panel, the contents box, and see what they have. It's like, getting fat from too much Ginkgo Biloba or Green Tea or something. That's my opinion, sorry if it wasn't what you were looking for
