I'm out of my orange Gatorade G2 so I asked my coworker to grab me a large Hi-C from McD's when he went over there. I took a couple sips and went to put it into MyFitnessPal - Did you know a large Hi-C has 360 calories? That's freaking ridiculous! That's like 1/2 of what I normally take in!

Needless to say I dumped it down the drain, and now I'm thirsty. Damn you McDonalds! How do you make even a drink bad for you!

I learned a valuable lesson today though... Everything you put in your mouth has the potential to derail you, no matter how benign it may seem.

That's crazy! I had no idea!

It is totally bizarre at how many calories a simple drink can have! For further reference, McDonalds carries Minute Maid Light lemonade its 5 calories

I have those single-serving crystal light pouches with me at all times. Wylers makes them too - sugar free and just add water and instant drink.

They're also great for a lower calorie margarita for those that are at the stage where they can have a little adult beverage 1 packet of lemon or lemon-lime or whatever flavor, some sprite zero or non-fizzy low cal drink if you prefer and whatever adult oriented addition you like

All McDonald's soft drinks have high fructose corn syrup in them too so I'd stay away.

Spinoff...did you know they actually make a lime margarita crystal light? Yum!

I saw that! I haven't tried it yet but the mojito is wonderful! I'm about to dive into the appletini next

I've see them but haven't braved them... Maybe I'll try the margarita.

MoonSiren - I have a cabinet full of stuff (see pic) that my coworkers affectionately refer to as "La Bodega" but nothing in there appealed to me. I really wanted an ice cold orange Hi-C.
