Crystal Light
I stay away from juice pre-contest, but what about Crystal Light? It's only got like 20 g sodium and nothing else.

Read the ingredient list. Crystal light does contain some calories.
http://www.kraftfoods.com/CRYSTALLIG...uct=4300095025 However, I doubt the amount will be of matter. Just showing you the label, that it does contain a few other things. |

Okay, there isn't any sodium, but does 5 Cals really make a huge difference? I thought we stayed away from juice pre contest to avoid the empty carbs.

Oh and yes, crystal light is fine to drink during prep. It is a God send IMO. I drink a gallon everyday, either grape, fruit punch, or cherry
![]() Buy the generic store brand though, its a ton cheaper and the exact same stuff.

Yeah, lastnight I accidently had a whole bunch of the powder get inhaled and I freaked out! IT BURNS! Then I sounded like I had been smoking for 30 years. I'm good today though.
I found that the Kroger brand of Crystal Light (Raspberry flavor) has zero everything, plus it's like $3 cheaper than Crystal Light!
