Red Bull (Sugar Free)

So, My first ever red bull @ work, gotta say it's amazing.

If I drink the sugar free version, is that considered cheating on my weight loss plan?

(Eating healthy now, protien, doing a FBW 4 times a week)

Let me know, cause I really like the stuff
 
All energy drinks = garbage IMO

They are a bad fad and
"need to be stopped" (voice of OJ)
 
okay that's great you have an opinion,


will they hurt my weight loss plan?

The short answer: No.

However, this would depend on the circumference of your entire diet and how this "RedBULL" blends within the contents of your diet.


1. What is the caloric content of your diet like?

2. Your macronutrients? Any micronutrients?

3. What are the exercises of your 4X per week FBW?

4. What are your personal goals?


Best wishes,


Chillen

Chillen, I'm a big fan of your posts here. :newangel:

Alright well, Trying to lose some fat and gain some muscle.

Calorie maintenance level is 2350,

Im about 2-3 inches of belly fat and about a 1 inch of fat around the rest of my body. Basically looking to get rid of it and look toned, but not super-muscular.

Full body workout at the Gym at my university (brand new facility) goes something like this (and in this order):

1. 4x Sets of 8 Reps - 320lb Leg Press
2. 4x sets of 8 Reps - 100lb Calf Machine
3. 3x Sets of 10 Reps - Simulated Bench Press (Laying on bench with dumbbells, 20lb in each hand)
4. 3x Sets of 10 Reps - 125lb Rowing Sitting Machine
5. 3x sets of 10 Reps - Machine where i sit, seatbelt up, and push both of my arms down (140lbs)
6. 3x sets of 10 reps - Chest Machine (sitting and pushing out in front of me) 50lbs
7. Run on Elliptical for 20 Minutes on "fat burner" setting, usually about 350 calories. avg 1100 cal per hour


This takes (I guess) about an hour to do. So I don't have any ab excersises, mostly because i dont want to pump my abs up with all this fat on it.. i dont want to look like i have an even bigger tummy



For meals, usually the same sort of thing every day (i'm drinking water a lot throughout the day)

1. 7am - Breakfast, Kashi Protein/Fiber Cereal with skim milk
2. 9am - While at work usually have a red bull or a coffee or something
3. 12:30p - Lunch usually a subway footlong 6 grams of fat or less one
4. 4:30pm - usually come home and have a quick snack, like a kiwi or something
5. 5:30 - Hit up the gym (usually an hour or so)
6. 7pm - Come home, big chicken breast with corn or brocoll, sometimes rice/ragu.
7. maybe around 10 or 11 have a glass of milk
8. bed around 12pm


My daily calroic intake is probably about 1800-2000, somewheres around there.


Also chillen, quick question... if I do a FBW and I feel like doing one the next day, is that ok or should I go on day / off day... I usually have enough energy to want to go to the gym every day after work for sure, atm for summer the gym is closed on sundays, but i also go saturday too, a little bit after lunch time.


I am really looking for an overall evalutation of what I am doing, so far (about 2and a half weeks, I know i lost some of the fat in my thighs and a little bit on my face, so I know it is working (but not sure if I could be doing things better)



PS. today for lunch I cheated and bought a burrito with grilled chicken, rice, beans, and tomatoes.
PPS: O BTW 185lbs, 21 years old, 5'10"
