calorie free energy drink

Was ill all day yesterday and unintentionally started a fast. I had a screaming headache this morning and thought some caffeine would fix it. I bought a Bang energy drink. 0 calories Only thing other than vitamins and minerals is 40mg sodium Does this break a fast? No ketones in my pee. 36 hour fast, had the Bang about 4 hours ago.

Answer

Technically it does break a fast, but should have pretty much no effect on weight loss. The FDA allows amino acids to be labeled as zero calories, but your body utilizes them the same as protein. I would be surprised if there was any more than a gram of EAAs in it
