Hi, I was wondering if having squash in water when in a fast would break the fast. Also, would having a monster ultra, so sugar-free, would be ok to use as a preworkout for before exercise when in a fast? It’s still quite new, so I don’t want to be having anything unwittingly that would break the fast. Thank you in advance.
