I buy the Wal-Mart brand flavoring packets and they have no calories. I really like the lemonade and pink lemonade flavor.

I count them towards my water intake.

Yep, that's why it's incredibly important to read the labels everytime you pick something up. A lot of things have 2 or more, servings but a normal person would consider it one serving. I tend to check the label and calculate how much I would eat in one setting and figure the calories that way.

Sometimes they change the recipe and something that used to have 60 calories now has 80 caloires-like the Yoplait fit and light yogurt.

I usually put one packet into a 1 liter bottle of water. Or sometimes I put 1 packet into a 2 liter bottle and stick in the fridge. And it always counts toward my water intake.

Good luck
