eli5 how do drinks have zero calories but have ingredients?

Just because we can eat something and get flavor from it doesn’t mean that we can digest it and turn it into calories. This is actually important, we rely on eating stuff that we cannot get any caloric value from for our digestive system to work properly.
Fiber is a very generic term we use for most of the non digestible stuff we get in out diets. There are also other things that trigger receptors to give them flavor but we do not produce an enzyme to break them down, artificial on non caloric sweeteners are a common one.
