Anecdata, but I remember writing software for a startup and getting thirsty. We had a fridge that had all sugar-free sodas because one of the founders was diabetic. I remember drinking a soda and still feeling really thirsty. Drank another and still didn't solve it. It finally dawned on me that my brain just really wanted the sugar for the easy calories, and the sugar-free soda obviously wasn't fixing this at all. Thinking hard definitely burns calories faster than not.
