jdAA88;301688 wrote+1 to the coke zero, as an avid pop drinker I've converted to this cos its zero calories and although it does has aspartame, you'd have to drink around 30 cans a day for the aspartame to rly impact ur health (read some study on bodybuilding.com).
Anyways, if I wake up too late and immediately have to grind I have Kashi go lean bars and vegetable thins at my comp so I can munch on those to avoid starvation, lol.
If I go out to grab lunch I'll grab subway or shawarma, and yes, sometime's the evil mcdonalds lol, but I'm trying to avoid that as much as possible.
Not true. Please don't take bodybuilder.com as a bastion of knowledge. Aspartame does a ton of damage to not on your heart, but other vital organs such as your kidneys.
Yeah, like that.
If you want more focus, try yerba mate tea. The caffeine in it works better than that in coffee or pop or even green tea. Coffee/pop gives you that roller coaster up and down, as well as draining your adrenal glands. Green or black tea will give rolling wave of caffeine, not as high or low as coffee but still up and down. Yerba mate gives you a boost but maintains at a steady level and then slowly goes down.
Also, try eating more fish. It's good brain food. Vitamin D can help as well.
