Episode 124: Energy Drinks

from Bite Me Nutrition · host Jonathan Steedman, APD

In this episode, I’m talking about energy drinks and whether they’re actually safe or just a flashy caffeine hit in a can. I break down the two big things that matter most: sugar and caffeine. I chat about why those are worth paying attention to, especially when it comes to your sleep and the knock-on effect that has on your hunger, cravings, and overall food choices.I also compare energy drinks to coffee, because they’re often lumped into the same category.
