class=\"wp-element-caption\">The nutrition facts in all it&rsquo;s real-life glory.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For a more detailed look at what you&rsquo;re getting nutritionally out of a Red Bull, have a look at the article I&rsquo;ve written on <a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/red-bull-nutrition-facts\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4163\">Red Bull&rsquo;s Nutrition Facts<\/a>, for an in-depth and informative analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Many_Calories_Are_In_a_Red_Bull\"><\/span>How Many Calories Are In a Red Bull?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It depends on the size of the Red Bull Can, but a standard 8.4 fl.oz can of Red Bull will run you 110 calories, which is fairly high given it&rsquo;s relatively small size.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While 110 calories isn&rsquo;t quite as high as some of the other sugary energy drinks out there (Monster Energy comes to mind), it is worth noting that a can of Red Bull is nearly half the size of a regular 16 fl.oz Monster, which has 210 calories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As such, from a per fl.oz perspective, a can of Red Bull has just as many calories as Monster, the only difference being that you&rsquo;ll often Red Bull in much smaller cans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, having a high amount of calories in your energy drink isn&rsquo;t necessarily a bad thing, you do need a fair amount of calories to get through your day (<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/common-health-questions\/food-and-diet\/what-should-my-daily-intake-of-calories-be\/\" target=\"_blank\">around<\/a> 2000 calories for women and 2500 calories for men), so a can of Red Bull can definitely work as a quick pick-me-up if you have no other options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, while one can of Red Bull may give you a boost, having far too many will result in those calories piling, which can lead to some <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK235013\/\" target=\"_blank\">notable<\/a> health issues if you&rsquo;re not too careful about your calorie intake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A can of Red Bull is also not a great replacement for an actual meal, as although the calories may be present, there&rsquo;s a big gap between the two when it comes to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/healthy-diet\" target=\"_blank\">healthy<\/a> nutritional content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To conclude, be sure to moderate your caloric intake if you have a Red Bull, and do remember to have actual meals instead of living off an energy drinks, as the hunger and energy crash when you come off them can be pretty bad without food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Ingredients_Are_Used_In_Red_Bull\"><\/span>What

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>At 80mg of caffeine per 8.4 fl.oz can, Red Bull is definitely lighter on the caffeine than your usual 16 fl.oz regulars, and is definitely the more preferable option if you happen to be caffeine sensitive.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Caffeine is a pretty major component in Red Bull, being one of the ingredients that give you the supposed &lsquo;energy boost&rsquo; that you need, as studies have shown that consuming caffeine has a whole host temporary benefits, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Improved <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.humankinetics.com\/view\/journals\/ijsnem\/5\/s1\/article-pS84.xml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">athletic<\/a> performance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improved <a

function<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to caffeinated beverages such as energy drinks, it&rsquo;s not really about how much caffeine is present in the can, but more how much caffeine you can handle before the boosts turns into a mild-headache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you&rsquo;re new and starting out, you probably don&rsquo;t want to be having 300mg of caffeine per serving in your energy drink, which is the caffeine content you&rsquo;ll find in both<a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/reign-energy-drink-nutrition-facts-deep-dive\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4998\"> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/bang-energy-vs-reign-energy\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1758\">Bang and Reign Energy.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As such, an 8.4 fl.oz can of Red Bull is definitely a good starter point if your new to energy drinks and trying out if all that caffeine business is really for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you do manage to acquire a taste for caffeinated beverages, you should probably still stick with the 400mg of caffeine daily limit set by the FDA, as having too much caffeine in your system can cause notable side <a href=\"https:\/\/medlineplus.gov\/caffeine.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">effects<\/a>, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Insomnia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shakiness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Restlessness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stomachache<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nausea<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Headaches<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All-in-all, caffeine is definitely beneficial in small doses, but be aware not to developed a dependency on the stuff, so be sure to enjoy your Red Bull in moderation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2

carbs present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the occasional sugary indulgence won&rsquo;t really affect your health all that much, having too much of the stuff on the regular can have a negative affect on your health, the most serious of which <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/diabetes\/features\/how-sugar-affects-your-body\"

on occasions, isn&rsquo;t really something you should be having daily if you plan to stay on the healthy side of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"

as an acidifier, flavoring, or chelating agent.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;ve ever bitten into a lemon or orange, you probably know the effects of citric acid quite well, and has a variety of commercial uses, such as maintaining the pH value of a drink (such as Red Bull) or acting as a preservative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, having too much citric acid in your diet may cause <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/diet\/what-is-citric-acid#2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">issues<\/a>, as it might cause tooth issues (due to the acid wearing down the tooth enamel) or upset stomachs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, there shouldn&rsquo;t be too much citric acid in a can of Red Bull, but do be aware that it does contain it<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3

isn&rsquo;t derived from a, let&rsquo;s say, specific part of the bull).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&rsquo;s a 1000mg of taurine in every 8.4 fl.oz can of Red Bull, and among its potential benefits<a

of taurine in energy drinks specifically, and most of them which do mention taurine (such as <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"

energy drinks and alcoholic beverages together, as the effects of alcohol and caffeine counteract each other, making you feel more sober than you actually are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As such, it&rsquo;s highly recommended that you do <strong>not<\/strong> accept any alcohol that has an energy drink mixed in it, be it Red Bull or otherwise, as the potential consequences can be disastrous.

is that they may increase dopamine production in the brain. One drawback is that the more often you take an energy drink, the less pleasure you get from the accompanying dopamine reaction, which might lead to addiction. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Energy drinks include many ingredients, including caffeine, sugar, and\/or artificial sweeteners, which may make them highly addictive for certain consumers.

while great on occasion, having too much Red Bull may cause some issues, so be sure not too fly too close to the sun, or you&rsquo;ll risk losing your wings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Articles\"><\/span>Other Articles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/can-you-drink-red-bull-every-day\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4715\">Can You Drink Red Bull Every Day?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/red-bull-nutrition-facts\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4163\">Red Bull Nutrition Facts<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/does-red-bull-actually-work\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3763\">Does Red Bull Actually Work?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With a logo adorning some of the fastest cars on the planet and a household name synonymous with extreme sports, if you&rsquo;ve ever heard of energy drinks, you&rsquo;ve definitely known &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5336,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"disable-in-feed":false,"article-schema-type":"","disable-critical-css":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,40],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5320"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5320"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5320\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":539319,"href":"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5320\/revisions\/539319"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5336"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5320"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beastlyenergy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
