Manufacturer data. The figures for Red Bull come from the manufacturer’s nutrition label, not from USDA laboratory analysis. Recipes and labels differ between countries and change over time, so check the pack you have.
Red Bull energy drink has 46 kcal (195 kJ) per 100 ml, so a standard 250 ml can comes to about 115 kcal. Nearly all of that energy is sugar, 11 g per 100 ml, with no fat or protein. Each 250 ml can also contains 80 mg of caffeine plus added B vitamins, which is where the energy-drink name comes from rather than the calories themselves.

Things worth knowing
- The US label lists 110 kcal, 29 g of carbohydrate and 26 g of sugar for an 8.4 fl oz (250 ml) can, close to the UK figures.
- 80 mg of caffeine per 250 ml is roughly what you get in a regular cup of brewed coffee.
- The B vitamins (niacin, pantothenic acid, B6 and B12) are added in amounts at or above the daily reference; they do not provide energy themselves.
- Red Bull Sugarfree uses sweeteners and has about 10 kcal per US can, with the same 80 mg of caffeine.
