Sports drinks
You’d think sports drinks are designed for athletes and thus are low in calories and sugar. While the first part is true, the second one is quite the opposite.
Meant for elite athletes and runners, sports drinks include surprisingly high amounts of sugar to provide sportsmen with energy in the form of glucose. Unless you train like an elite athlete and manage to burn the calories form the extra sugar, it will all be stored as fat.
Captain’s tip: To avoid the 32 grams of added sugar and 160 calories from sports drinks, just stick to water.
