Loads of calories for people trying to lose weight.

If you're already fit why the hell not. Drink it and all it's sugary goodness.

I drink Gatorade when I play hockey because it doesn't run right through me like water. Trying to piss in full gear is almost comical. I'm just glad I'm not a goalie.

I don't get why people don't mix gatorade and powerade with water to make it last longer. I mean, sure, it has calories unlike water, but if your only putting an 8th of the total bottle in a bottle with the rest of it regular water, it wouldn't be too bad of a taste.

Gatorade taste like pure sugar to me...

Water and maybe a salt tab is all you need.

gatorade's sodium content is high. eat a normal meal with a 30-40% of daily sodium content in it after a long run, do it as you normally do all day. you don't need a lot of extra salt... eat bananas for potassium, keep salt intake at maybe 10% more than normal.

word. B vitamins are very important especially for physically active people. the worst they can do is turn your piss yellow, unless you take way too much and get a high amount from your diet already.

Its got nothing going for it. The only positive thing I can think of is a very small amount of potassium. Nearly 50 grams of sugar per bottle! Considering that 1 teaspoon is about 5 grams, thats ten teaspoons of sugar for fucks sake. Gatorade is bad. So is vitamin water and fitness water and healthy water and whatever the fuck else is marketed as "healthy". Its all just coke and pepsi co trying to make a few bucks on gullible health nut fuck fags.

to continue talking like i know a lot, the sugar from fruit is also way better for you than the HFCS contained in gatorade. pic related.

Gatorade is a bunch of sugar and crap. The best thing to drink it water. Nuff said.

His point was, water is free. Gaytorade = water + sugar, but its not free.

Gatorade has its place. Does no one in here do any endurance sports. If you are running long distances or riding a bike for a few hours you need the salt and carbs from sugar to keep you going. I agree it should not be imbibed if you are not burning the calories, but I need them for long races.
