1 doză (250ml) = 113 kcal
Nutritional Values per 100g
Standard Serving
1 doză (250ml) contains 113 calories.
Best time: Occasionally, before intense physical or mental effort - avoid in the evening
Benefits
- ✓Caffeine (usually 80mg per can) increases alertness, focus, and short-term performance in sport or mental effort
- ✓Fast carbohydrates from sugar provide immediate energy, occasionally useful during prolonged endurance effort
- ✓Often contains B vitamins and taurine, although their real contribution to performance is modest
- ✓Zero/sugar-free versions keep the stimulating caffeine effect with zero sugar and almost zero calories
Considerations
- !A 250ml can contains ~27g sugar and ~113 empty calories - frequently a hidden source of added sugar in the diet
- !The caffeine-and-sugar combination can cause palpitations, anxiety, insomnia, and an energy "crash" after the initial effect
- !Should not be combined with alcohol and is not recommended for children, teens, pregnant women, or people sensitive to caffeine - consume in moderation
FitAzi Tip
FitAzi recommends energy drinks only occasionally and in moderation, because of the caffeine-and-sugar combination. If you only want the stimulating effect, a black coffee gives you the caffeine with zero sugar and almost zero calories. If you still choose an energy drink, go for the sugar-free version and count the calories if you drink the classic one.
