  • When I was early out I drank (still do) the premier protein drinks they sell at most Walmart's and SAMS. They are ready made with 30 grams of protein per shake 11oz I think. I love the taste of them!

    prbaby28, As was suggested, check the different brands of coconut Water to find one with way less sugar. 28 grams of carbs is way too much! Some brands have less than 1 gram of sugar and 5 calories

I try to drink a certain amount of water by a certain time. I have two 25 oz bottles I try to drink one on the way to work. the second one by break at 8, third one by lunch at 11. fourth one before I leave at 130...100 oz gone and another to drink at home. it keeps me from being up all night.

@@Alex Brecher thank you for the help :) I did find a healthier coconut water I also switched my protein to see if that would help but I definitely will try making my protein shakes with coconut water. As for my fluids it's just hard for me to find something that my stomach tolerates as well as I can only take tiny sips at a time but I'm following your advice and I downloaded an app to keep track of my fluids. I can't tolerate plain water so I added some lemon to it sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
