Hey all, Is it particularly unhealthy to snack on powdered drink mix? The kind that’s just garbage chemicals and artificial flavors. I drink TONS of water every day because I take a lot of medication so I have always drank a lot of water. I pee like 10x a day and it’s very clear so I know I’m getting plenty. That being divulged, we have this powdered drink mix and I like touching the pouch opening to my tongue and sucking on the powder a little bit at a time. It’s tasty and no calories to speak of. I know it’s junk but it keeps me from snacking on junk food. I just wonder if it’s particularly unhealthy to do.

    It’s tasty and no calories to speak of

    It means for the serving size, they can round down to zero, but if you eat more then one serving there are actually calories.

    Zero calorie ticktacks are a good example of this in the wild. almost pure sugar, but zero calories per serving.
