My favorite way to not drink calories is: delicious iced tea with stevia for sweetener. Carry your own cup (e.g. large reusable cup) & fill with your fav tea. I started brewing tea and drink about a gallon of this a day. I love chai, black tea with any fruit flavor, or herbal fruit flavored tea. Find something you like. To clod brew a gallon of tea, put 8-10 bags of your favorite flavor into a gallon container of water. Brew overnight. I also brew sun tea and refrigerate if I drink more than a gallon. Stevia is awesome because it's 0 calories and not bad for you like the other non-calorie chemical sweeteners (i think some make you actually retain weight). Also: check out unsweetened almond milk (45 cals per cup) - it still tastes sweet to me. My tastes have changed since changing my diet. Now I eat whole foods, and don't drink my calories. Good luck & Cheers! - dangerrr 

Another substitute to avoid drinking calories are 0 calorie drinks such as SoBe's life water (punches & berry flavors are delish!). They are sweetened with stevia as well. There are a few other brands of teas, flavored or unflavored, that are unsweetened or sweetened with stevia. I rarely record these in my food diary because they are 0 calories. Check them out! - dangerrr 

Thanks!! I had totally forgotten about iced tea! I'll look those Sobe drink up.
