Daily Fit Tip: Go easy on the energy drinks
Categories: Daily Fit Tip, Nutrition & Supplements
In today's world of long days and all-too-often sleepless nights, many people have started relying on energy drinks like Red Bull and Rockstar to get through the day. Is this a good habit or a bad one? Although energy drinks aren't all bad, they're definitely not that good for you either. There are arguments going both ways for caffeine and for some of the herbal supplements, but the biggest problem is the sugar: a 16oz can of Rockstar has 260 calories! I don't know if the metabolism boost is gonna be enough to burn that off...
Forget the energy drink, for that much guilt I think I'd rather have a snickers bar.

I had the same issue with energy drinks (too many calories and carbs). But, I found one that solves this problem. It's called Monster Lo-Carb, and it comes in a black can with blue labeling. The entire 16oz can only has 20 calories and 6g of carbs, but it packs a serious energy punch. Just don't drink one of these before doing any cardio!
