Are liquid calories the same as solid food calories?

Sort of: Calories are calories as far as serving as fuel for the body, but liquid calories are generally less filling and less satisfying than whole food calories.

None: A calorie is a calorie--you may absorb the liquid ones faster, but they all turn into fat.
