Avoid Empty Calories

Sodas, fruit juices, sports drinks, and specialty coffees and teas can be loaded with “empty calories.” Nutritionally speaking, this means that these drinks provide no real nourishment, however, calorie and carb-wise can be equal to 3+ slices of bread (1 slice of bread= 15g carbs and roughly 60-70 calories) and most of these beverages offer up about 40g carbs and crazy amounts of sugar. Personally, I’d rather eat my calories!
