Apple cider vinegar is a product with extremely low caloric value, meaning that not only does its composition not contribute to weight gain, but its various effects actually help reduce body weight. Below is a table of the nutritional values of apple cider vinegar, issued by an accredited food analysis laboratory:
| Mineral substances | 0.10 g |
| Carbohydrates | 0.58 g |
| of which Sugars | 0.15 g |
| Proteins | less than 0.10 g |
| Fats | less than 0.10 g |
| Acetic acid | 4.38 g |

| of which Sugars | 0.15 g |
| Proteins | less than 0.10 g |

The energy value of 100 grams of apple cider vinegar is 17.65 kcal / 75.88 kJ.
For comparison, the nutritional value of an average apple (100 grams) contains between 50 and 60 kcal, which means that during the production of vinegar from a whole apple, the nutritional value decreases by about three times. Also, 100 grams of potatoes have an energy value of 77 kcal, and 100 grams of chicken breast, considered a low-calorie meat, have an energy value of 120 kcal.
All these facts clearly show that apple cider vinegar contains an almost negligible amount of calories, especially considering the fact that it is consumed in very small quantities.
