What low calorie drinks can you suggest for me to have handy throughout the day?

I am so sick of drinking water. Juices are too high in calories for me - I'd rather eat an apple and feel full than 1/2 c of apple juice.

I've been drinking diet gingerale in moderation and flavoured waters. But there has to be more out there that I'm not aware of..?

Well milk has calories but seems to be more filling then fruit juices.
Have you tried tea with no sugar?
Have you tried Crystal lite, 5 calories for 8oz? ( wal-mart has there on brand of this stuff for a lesser price)
I personal drink alcohol when I drink calorie hig drinks vs. soda. My moto is I want to feel it or chew it. So I stay away from soda because I hate diet and will want regular soda. When I drink I stick with shots and malt beverages and lite beer.

...i like San Pelligrino (or Perrier)or club soda--if you do the lemon/lime garnish it looks very chi-chi...I also will do 1/2 juice 1/2 club soda--sweet but not over the top. In really hot weather, I'll put frozen fruit in my club soda in place of ice cubes--grapes, strawberries, berries...quie tasty!! Or sometimes I'll make a smoothie w/ frozen strawberry, banana, yogurt, and some n/f milk.

for now, I really like the taste of water, so that's what I have most often--the above treats are just once in a while...

I definitely go for the Crystal Light- it's really good and only 5 calories. Sounds good to me! I also drink orange juice maybe once a day and 1% milk (sometimes chocolate). As long as you're not getting a LOT of calories from your drinks, I think you're doing OK.
