Calories in Energy Drinks, Green Tea and Milkshakes

By NYUS Inc. · Published 28 October 2026

Energy drinks, green tea, lemonade and milkshakes each have a can, cup, bottle or container weight printed on their SR Legacy record page. This guide gives fourteen drink records from the SR Legacy table of USDA FoodData Central (four energy drinks, a flavored water, brewed, instant and ready-to-drink tea, powder lemonade and orange drink prepared with water, canned fruit punch drink and two thick milk shakes), with the portion weights printed on their record pages. IFCT 2017, the Indian Food Composition Tables from ICMR-NIN, prints per 100 g of foods only and has no packaged drinks or cup weights, so this page uses SR Legacy only. Cola, soda and fruit juice are in our cola, soda and juice guide.

The short answer

By the SR Legacy records, 1 can (258 g) of RED BULL energy drink is 110.9 kcal and 26.3 g of sugars, 1 cup (245 g) of brewed green tea is 2.5 kcal and 1 container (300 g) of thick chocolate milk shake is 357.0 kcal. Our reading: the kcal depend on the drink more than on the size, so 1 cup of sweetened ready-to-drink green tea (270 g) is 72.9 kcal against 2.5 kcal for 1 cup of brewed green tea (245 g).

SR Legacy: per 100 g

Every figure below is exactly as the record page shows it. The record names are the dataset's own, brand names included as USDA prints them.

SR Legacy: per printed portion

Each figure is our arithmetic on exact weights: kcal per 100 g times the grams, divided by 100, with the exact product in the sums line and the result shown to 0.1 with half rounding up. Every weight below is printed on the SR Legacy record page, as the fluid-ounce or container size with its gram weight; none is ours. Only the can, bottle, cup, container and fluid-ounce serving portions are listed; several records also print 1 fl oz, which is not used here, and each record prints 100 g.

The sums: 173210 43 × 258 / 100 = 110.94, so 110.9 kcal; 173210 43 × 369 / 100 = 158.67, so 158.7 kcal; 173210 43 × 492 / 100 = 211.56, so 211.6 kcal; 174108 45 × 240 / 100 = 108, so 108.0 kcal; 171937 58 × 480 / 100 = 278.4, so 278.4 kcal; 171937 58 × 240 / 100 = 139.2, so 139.2 kcal; 174822 4 × 240 / 100 = 9.6, so 9.6 kcal; 175109 5 × 356 / 100 = 17.8, so 17.8 kcal; 175109 5 × 501 / 100 = 25.05, so 25.1 kcal; 175109 5 × 703 / 100 = 35.15, so 35.2 kcal; 171917 1 × 245 / 100 = 2.45, so 2.5 kcal; 171911 0 × 473 / 100 = 0, so 0.0 kcal; 174128 27 × 270 / 100 = 72.9, so 72.9 kcal; 174873 1 × 178 / 100 = 1.78, so 1.8 kcal; 174873 1 × 238 / 100 = 2.38, so 2.4 kcal; 174859 14 × 264 / 100 = 36.96, so 37.0 kcal; 173236 49 × 203 / 100 = 99.47, so 99.5 kcal; 171914 48 × 248 / 100 = 119.04, so 119.0 kcal; 171914 48 × 210 / 100 = 100.8, so 100.8 kcal; 170883 119 × 300 / 100 = 357, so 357.0 kcal; 170884 112 × 313 / 100 = 350.56, so 350.6 kcal.

What stands out in the numbers

• Energy per 100 g, SR Legacy, highest first: 170883 (thick chocolate milk shake) 119, 170884 (thick vanilla milk shake) 112, 171937 (ROCKSTAR energy drink) 58, 173236 (orange-flavor drink prepared with water) 49, 171914 (canned fruit punch drink) 48, 174108 (citrus energy drink) 45, 173210 (RED BULL energy drink) 43, 174128 (sweetened ready-to-drink green tea) 27, 174859 (powder lemonade prepared with water) 14, 175109 (Propel Zero) 5, 174822 (sugar free energy drink) 4, 171917 (brewed green tea) 1, 174873 (instant tea prepared with water) 1, 171911 (unsweetened ready-to-drink green tea) 0.
• Total sugars per 100 g, the six highest: 170883 (thick chocolate milk shake) 20.8 g, 170884 (thick vanilla milk shake) 17.8 g, 171937 (ROCKSTAR energy drink) 12.3 g, 173236 (orange-flavor drink prepared with water) 11.8 g, 171914 (canned fruit punch drink) 11.3 g, 174108 (citrus energy drink) 10.4 g. The records that print 0 g of sugars are 174822 (sugar free energy drink), 175109 (Propel Zero), 171917 (brewed green tea), 171911 (unsweetened ready-to-drink green tea).
• Cans, bottles and containers as printed: 170883 (thick chocolate milk shake) 1 container (10.6 oz), 300 g, 357.0 kcal, 62.4 g of sugars, 170884 (thick vanilla milk shake) 1 container (11 oz), 313 g, 350.6 kcal, 55.7 g of sugars, 171937 (ROCKSTAR energy drink) 1 can, 480 g, 278.4 kcal, 59.0 g of sugars, 173210 (RED BULL energy drink) 1 can 8.4 fl oz, 258 g, 110.9 kcal, 26.3 g of sugars, 175109 (Propel Zero) 1 bottle 23.7 fl oz, 703 g, 35.2 kcal, 0.0 g of sugars, 175109 (Propel Zero) 1 bottle 16.9 fl oz, 501 g, 25.1 kcal, 0.0 g of sugars, 175109 (Propel Zero) 1 bottle 12 fl oz, 356 g, 17.8 kcal, 0.0 g of sugars. The same RED BULL record prints three sizes, 8.4 fl oz (258 g), 12 fl oz (369 g) and 16 fl oz (492 g): 110.9, 158.7 and 211.6 kcal.
• Tea, as printed: brewed green tea (171917) 1 cup (245 g) 2.5 kcal, unsweetened ready-to-drink (171911) 16 fl oz (473 g) 0.0 kcal, instant tea prepared with water (174873) 8 fl oz (238 g) 2.4 kcal and sweetened ready-to-drink (174128) 1 cup (270 g) 72.9 kcal and 14.4 g of sugars.

Why these are reference rows, not your glass

• Names are the records'. Three record names carry a US brand (RED BULL, ROCKSTAR, Propel Zero), because that is how the dataset prints them. We do not say that any drink sold in India matches a record, and we do not compare brands.
• No row for nimbu pani, jaljeera, Rooh Afza or cold coffee. A search of the SR Legacy table on 28 Oct 2026 returned no record named jaljeera, Rooh Afza, sharbat, aam panna, nimbu pani, thandai or cold coffee, so the page gives no figure for them and none should be inferred from the records above.
• Every portion here is printed. No can, bottle, cup or container weight on this page is ours: each is printed on its record page, and the only weight that is ours is the labelled 100 g example in the logging section.
• The records' own notes. The record pages mark the kcal energy of eight records "Calculated", of 174822, 171937 and 171911 as label claims (back calculated from the label by USDA staff), and of 174873, 174859 and 173236 with a recipe note ("Recipe; Per package directions ..."). They are USDA values, not our measurements.
• For a packaged product, the pack wins. This page uses no pack labels.

How to log it so the numbers hold

• Log by weight or volume. 100 g of brewed green tea (our example weight, not a dataset value) on SR Legacy 171917 is 1 × 100 / 100 = 1, so 1.0 kcal.
• Sweetened and unsweetened are separate rows. Ready-to-drink green tea is 0 kcal per 100 g unsweetened and 27 kcal per 100 g sweetened in these records.
• Milk and sugar in tea are separate. Tea made with milk and sugar is in our chai and coffee guide.
• Do not mix datasets inside one day. If you log a drink from SR Legacy, keep to that record for the same drink.

Where NYUS fits (our app)

We make NYUS, so read this as ours. NYUS is an AI fitness and nutrition coach in early access on Android, with no ads and no data selling. You log foods yourself by searching 8,900+ Indian and global foods or by barcode, and a weekly check-in adjusts your calories, macros and step goal once enough is logged. Barcode coverage of Indian packaged foods is not complete, so search by name when a scan finds nothing.

What this page leaves out

• A calorie, sugar or caffeine target, and any claim about what these drinks do to your weight or health: we have not looked up one for any person, so we give none. If you have a medical condition, ask your doctor or dietitian.
• Nimbu pani, jaljeera, Rooh Afza, aam panna, thandai and cold coffee, and any named brand or sachet with no record used here.
• Other drink records in the SR Legacy list are left out, for example other energy drinks, sports drink powders, other fruit drinks and frozen concentrates, other teas and milk-based coffee drinks.
• Cola, soda and fruit juice are in our cola, soda and juice guide, sugarcane juice, coconut water and milk in our sugarcane juice, coconut water and milk guide, and cocoa and malted drinks in our cocoa and malted drink guide.
• Nutrients beyond energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate and total sugars: not covered here.

The per portion figures, the sums, the rounding, the comparisons and every sentence starting "Our reading" are NYUS's own arithmetic or opinion, not from USDA.
