This sports drink has 26 kcal and 6.3 g sugar per 100 g. Carbohydrate-electrolyte drinks deliver real benefit during sustained exercise above ~60 minutes (Cermak & van Loon, Sports Med 2013) — but for sedentary use, they are essentially sugary water. Match the drink to the activity.
How should I track Sports drink, electrolyte?
Sports drink, electrolyte is a good source of vitamin d. Liquid calories from Sports drink, electrolyte are easy to overlook because drinks do not trigger the same fullness signals as solid food. A meta-analysis (Wehling & Lusher, Am J Clin Nutr 2021) confirmed that people underreport beverage intake more than solid food. Most people pour 30–50% more than the label serving size without realizing it. Use a kitchen scale to weigh your glass or bottle once — you will know your exact pour going forward. This one calibration step can save you from hundreds of untracked calories per week.
