Are You Drinking All Your Calories?

When sticking to a low-calorie diet, those calories are precious!  It is common to focus so much on the calories you are eating, that you completely forget the calories you might be drinking.
According to the American Heart Association, your diet should contain no more than 450 calories from sugary drinks per week.  However, American adults consume on average 385 calories per day!  Ouch!
Soda is well-known for adding high amounts of calories to your diet, but have you considered other drinks?  Juices and lemonades are often even higher in sugar than soda is!  8 oz of grape juice contains 152 calories while orange soda contains 127 calories for an 8 oz serving.  Lemonades may also seem like a “healthier” option to soda, but pink lemonade still has 106 calories per 8 oz serving.  Water is definitely the best option for a beverage, but if you must have something flavored, be sure to tread lightly!
What do you drink instead of these high-calorie offenders?
