Yeah, that claim is pretty dubious.
If it has almost no calories, then it has almost no mass.
To get the approximate amount of calories in a piece, just measure its weight to get the mass (M in kg) and use the formula M * c * c * 0.2390057, where c is the speed of light in m/s.
Mass has no direct relationship to calories. A gallon of water has 0 calories. A pound of salt has 0. Some things we eat provide necessary elements of nutrition but no energy/calories. Some things provide calories but have 0 nutritional value, like sugar. Most foods provide a mix of nutritional value and calories.
Weight loss scams hate this one weird trick!
If you drink cold water it’s like negative calories because you have to spend energy as it warms up to body temperature.

Your comment is non-inclusive to trans personalities.
For anyone that identifies as a black hole, all mass is calories.
