Does pickle juice break my fast?

Sometimes I like taking shots of pickle juice when I get sick of snake juice. I like the taste and its also a great source of electrolytes. I’ve been thinking wether or not it has any calories and breaks my fast. I’m getting mixed answers online on wether or not it has any calories. Any one have an answer? Thanks,

Pickles are a lifesaver. On a 72 hr fast, day 2 is the toughest for me. Mentally I’m in the middle of a fast, no end in sight to that feeding day, and if I’m gonnanscrew up that’s the day.

The salt in the pickles kills my hunger, a couple dill pickle spears even if 0-10 calories is nothing and far better than falling apart.

If you need it I say do it to get through. Takes the edge off and doesn’t affect insulin or knock you out if ketosis.
