Is ice fattening?

Question

I heard once water freezes and become ice, its fattening, is this true? What are facts about ICE....
How many calories is in an ice cube?

Answer 1

i hope your not serious...

Answer 2

Is Ice Fattening

Answer 3

I'm cracking up over here! That's so silly. Ice and water have the same properties. Nothing changes when it freezes. Ice is no more fattening than Water. 0 calories, so crunch away!

Answer 4

Ice has no calories. It is not any more fattening than water. Ice may actually help you lose weight. your body has to work harder to warm it than drinking tap water. Your body will burn calories generating the heat necessary to heat and melt ice. It is not much but it does happen.

Answer 5

Technically speaking, yes, ice can be fattening. Ice basically slows down your digestion over time and you'll end up with constipation and swelling. But its takes a long time depending on the amount of ice you eat every now and then.

Answer 6

No....ice is not fattening and it has 0 calories because its water.

Ice is an Oxide class mineral that is referred to by any one of the 14 known solid phases of water.

An unusual feature of ice frozen at a pressure of one atmosphere is that the solid is some 8% less dense than liquid water. Ice is also one of the few substances to expand when it freezes. Ice has a density of 0.917 g/cm³ at 0 °C, whereas water has a density of 0.9998 g/cm³ at the same temperature. Liquid water is most dense, essentially 1.00 g/cm³, at 4 °C and becomes less dense as the water molecules begin to form the hexagonal crystals of ice as the temperature drops to 0 °C. (In fact, the word "crystal" derives from Greek word for frost.) This is due to hydrogen bonds forming between the water molecules, which line up molecules less efficiently (in terms of volume) when water is frozen. The result of this is that ice floats on liquid water, an important factor in Earth's climate. Density of ice increases slightly with decreasing temperature (density of ice at −180 °C (93 K) is 0.9340 g/cm³).

When ice melts, it absorbs as much heat energy (the heat of fusion) as it would take to heat an equivalent mass of water by 80 °C, while its temperature remains a constant 0 °C.

It is also theoretically possible to superheat ice beyond its equilibrium melting point. Simulations of ultrafast laser pulses acting on ice shows it can be heated up to room temperature for an extremely short period (250 ps) without melting it. It is possible that the interior of an ice crystal has a melting point above 0 °C and that the normal melting at 0 °C is just a surface effect. [1]

As a naturally occurring crystalline solid, ice is considered a mineral.

The smallest ice was created by Roger Miller and Klaus Nauta in the University of North Carolina in 1999. It is 6 water molecules arranged in a hexagon, theoretically the smallest ice possible.

Answer 7

Ice contains zero calories and is not fattening.

Answer 8

Ice is water, it's not fattening, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. It's actually better because it's cold and it helps your metabolism to chew ice/drink ice water...at least that's what I've heard.

Answer 9

Ice is just water. Zero calories.

Answer 10

Ice is frozen water. Water has no calories. So therefore it isn't fattening!

Answer 11

nicely you comprehend that water is soooo fattening so thereby eating ice cubes a form of frozen water you're eating rather a lot of energy, fat, and sodium...you're able to truly give up.
