working out increases metabolizm for the rest of the day, a fit body uses more calores than a couch potato -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 27, 14:03
Run faster. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 27, 13:53
yeah but it's different kinds of calories. besides drink coke zero -- nm - Remlik Sep 27, 13:53 23
- can of coke zero: 0 calories. can of Barqs rootbeer: 160 calories. Bottle of pepsi: 110 calories. - Beryllium Sep 27, 13:54 7
  - Servings per Bottle --- 2.5; Calories 250 -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 27, 13:57
  - uh, more like 250 calories. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 13:55 5
    - oh, right, math. "Per 250mL" :) ... the ratio changes per product label. Bah! It should be standardized! -- nm - Beryllium Sep 27, 13:57 2
      - that's what the "serving size" is for. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 13:58 1
        
        but the cans measure at 355mL. See my point? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 27, 13:59
    - but because it's canadian it's made with better stuff -- nm - Remlik Sep 27, 13:57
    - (Canadian calories) -- nm - con_carne Sep 27, 13:56
- All diet drinks taste like poison to me. -- nm - David Sep 27, 13:54 14
  - ah...fair enough. how about a sports drink? power or gatorade? -- nm - Remlik Sep 27, 13:56 13
    - I can drink orange gatorade, but I vastly prefer coke, mountain dew, milk and water to all other beverages. -- nm - David Sep 27, 13:57 8
      - then you should be drinking milk after a workout, you need to replenish vitamins and other crap you lost during the workout. -- nm - Remlik Sep 27, 13:58 7
        
        that's a bad choice. -- nm - TFox Sep 27, 13:59 6
        
        Well done. -- nm - con_carne Sep 27, 14:00
        
        it's better than a soda. Going from his list of what he'd drink isn't that best choice? -- nm - Remlik Sep 27, 14:00 4
        
        Someone kills you with a trident at the end of this discussion. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 27, 14:00
        
        water, and a light snack. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 14:00

        ah! -- nm - Remlik Sep 27, 14:07
    - If I'm going to drink calories, I'm having a soda not a crappy lemon-line Gatorade. - ty97 Sep 27, 13:57 3
      - they make other flavors! After a workout I generally have a protein drink of some sort. -- nm - Remlik Sep 27, 13:58 2
        
        this is supposed to be better than eating sugar after a workout. but I do'nt remember why. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 13:58
        
        Are you my roommate? That's his daily routine: Gym, followed by protein shake. -- nm - ty97 Sep 27, 13:58

- The bottle says 200 calories. The treadmill said 345. -- nm - David Sep 27, 13:50 20
  - [deleted] 18
    - 20 oz -- nm - TFox Sep 27, 13:53 1
      - exactly, he said bottle, not can -- nm - Beryllium Sep 27, 13:56
    - sugary drinks are fattening America. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 13:52 15
      - nope. non exercise is fattening America. -- nm - CQ Sep 27, 14:02 1
        
        the french do not exercise ... ever. but they are skinny. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 14:03
      - *chugs a carton of OJ* -- nm - znufrii Sep 27, 13:56
      - Looking at the menus at restaurants, I think we're unfairly blaming the sugary drinks. - ty97 Sep 27, 13:56 11
        
        oh, it's the sugar in everything. but drinks are the easiest way to overconsume sugar. it's completely unnecessary for your drink to be sweetened. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 13:58 9
        
        Nonsense. - Will Hunting Sep 27, 13:58 8
        
        agree...99% of all drinks need some flavor to it. -- nm - Remlik Sep 27, 13:59 4
        
        that's a mental thing. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 13:59 3
        
        And if ST has an expert on being mental, it's loosi. - ty97 Sep 27, 14:00 1
        
        I learned not to like sugary drinks. - loosilu Sep 27, 14:01
        
        taste thing. -- nm - Remlik Sep 27, 14:00
        
        taste is learned. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 13:59 2
        
        Well, if I had a time machine....I can assure you that I'm not going back in time to learn how to drink unsweetened tea. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 27, 14:00
        
        "Here, taste this." -- nm - One Cup Sep 27, 13:59
        
        it's not the sugary drinks. it's the sugar in *everything* -- nm - znufrii Sep 27, 13:57
  - the treadmill readings don't really mean anytyhing. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 13:51
