Coke 500 ml calories come to 210 for one 500 ml bottle (500 g), or 42 per 100 g. Every one of those calories is sugar. The bottle carries 54.9 g of sugars with no protein or fat, so a single drink covers 11% of a daily calorie budget and fills you up very little.

One bottle is 210 calories, and refills add up fast
The 500 ml bottle is the default here, and it lands at 210 calories with 54.9 g of sugars. That is 11% of the daily value for calories in a drink most people finish in minutes. A standard can (355 g) comes in at 149 calories and 38.9 g of sugars, while a small bottle (237 g) is 100 calories and 26 g of sugars.
Size is the lever that matters most. Dropping from the 500 ml bottle to the small bottle cuts the total by more than half, and nothing about the taste changes. If you drink Coke out of habit rather than for a treat, buying the smaller format is the easiest swap on this page.
Repeats are where the numbers get serious. Two bottles reach 420 calories, three hit 630, and five bottles (2,500 g of soda) total 1,050 calories. Spread across a long workday or a weekend, that last figure is a full meal or more in liquid form, with zero protein to show for it.
Every calorie is sugar, nothing else
The calorie split is as simple as it gets: 100% carbs, 0% protein, 0% fat. Per 100 g, Coke has 11 g of carbs and all 11 g of them are sugars. There is no fiber, no starch and no fat to slow anything down.
That makes sugar the row to watch on this label. The 500 ml bottle lists 54.9 g of sugars, and the can lists 38.9 g. Even the small bottle brings 26 g. For a drink, those are large figures, and they arrive without anything to chew or digest slowly.
This is also why Coke barely registers as food in terms of fullness. A 210-calorie snack with some protein or fiber would hold you for a while. A 210-calorie bottle of soda tends to sit alongside your meals rather than replace any of them, so the calories stack on top of everything else you eat.
Sodium is low, so focus on the sugar
Coke carries 13 mg of sodium per 100 g. The 500 ml bottle comes to 65 mg, which is only 3% of the daily value. The can is 46 mg, or 2%, and the small bottle is 31 mg, or 1%.
Even heavy drinking does not change this much. Five bottles total 325 mg of sodium, a modest amount next to the 1,050 calories they bring. If you track sodium closely, Coke is a minor line item; a salty snack eaten with it will matter far more.
The takeaway is to spend your attention where the numbers are. On this label, that means calories and sugars, not salt. Protein is also 0 g in every serving size, so the bottle gives you energy and flavor but none of the building blocks that make a meal satisfying.
Treat the bottle as a dessert, not a drink
A useful way to think about a 500 ml Coke is as a sweet treat that happens to be liquid. At 210 calories, it sits in the same range as a small dessert. Counting it that way makes it easier to decide whether you want it with lunch or would rather have something you can eat.
If you enjoy Coke with food, pairing it with a meal that is high in protein and fiber helps balance a plate that otherwise gets a large dose of sugar with nothing else. Water or a zero-sugar soda alongside lets you keep the fizz while dropping the calories.
Logging it every time is the simplest habit. Drinks slip out of food diaries more often than meals do, and a bottle a day adds up quickly over a week. BodyPal can log a bottle of Coke from a photo, so it takes seconds to add even when you are on the go.
How does Coke compare?
Here is how a 500 ml Coke stacks up against a can of Coke, a Coke bottle and Coke Zero, per 100 g and per usual serving.
Verdict: Regular Coke in a can or bottle lands at 39 to 42 calories per 100 g, so the container changes almost nothing; only the amount you pour does. For weight loss pick Coke Zero at 2 calories per 100 g, and keep the full-sugar bottle as an occasional treat.
