Sugar free drinks and cutting

[tunagainz]

I looked on the back nutritional information for a sugar free energy drink that I was having and it was about 10 calories for a serving. The question that I'm asking is will it effect my cutting if I drink one of these a day but stay within a caloric deficit? Or will the fact that it's still carbonated hinder my progress. Also do you reckon it is a good pre workout?

Count it in your macros, the carbonation may make you bloated but won't make you fat. I like diet sodas mixed with my pre-workout stuff (beta alanine, citriuline malate) and just drink some coffee or take some caffeine pills.

Your fine.
The biggest problem with diet soda is going to be your teeth.

I don't think I could get through IF with a 20/4 hour eating window without a coke zero at lunch time. Dem Hunger pains.......

Like Ben said, just count it in your daily intake and you'll be fine. There are some folks against artificial sweetners, etc, however like you I gotta have something that tastes good while on a cut. Good luck!

IIFYM its good man, srs. I drink diet drinks like its going out of style, srs. Like i drink too much.. Probably 2 cans of diet dew or code red a day, diet polar pop few x a week, sf energy drinks (when on stims), etc. Don't worry about it, it makes me feel fuller quicker when i eat because the carbonation, but thats really it m8
