4,152 Calories and 1,038 grams of sugar.

I have been doing a little experiment over the last several weeks with myself. I have been logging the cans/bottles of Mountain Dew and Coke that I have been drinking - primarily to gain an understanding about the amount of soda I consume regularly.

In the last seven (7) days, I have consumed: 240 fluid ounces of Mt. Dew and 32 fluid ounces of Coke.

That equals: 4,152 Calories and 1,038 grams of Sugar.

That is a pretty large consumption of Calories that ultimately equals zero nutritional value. So the question should be asked, Why do you drink all that soda? It is a question that I actually get asked in different ways at times. The most common way is more of a statement, "I can't believe you drink that much soda and run all those miles!" I never know if people are thinking I run so that I can drink the soda or if they assume I would be the-picture-of-all-healthiness because I workout?
