standard 12 fl.oz can of Coca-Cola Energy contains around 140 calories, which is still a considerable amount of calories to include in your regular diet.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the 140 calories in Coca-Cola Energy isn&rsquo;t as high compared to a 16 fl.oz can of Monster with 210 calories, it&rsquo;s still something to look out for. You may want to opt for other energy drinks that have fewer calories if you&rsquo;re trying to lose weight or on a strict diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you&rsquo;re someone who hits the gym regularly, I think Coca-Cola Energy would be a great pre-workout drink for <strong>extra calories to burn off<\/strong> during your workout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For reference, the recommended&nbsp;<strong>calorie intake per day should be around 2,000 &ndash; 2,500 calories,&nbsp;<\/strong>according to&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/common-health-questions\/food-and-diet\/what-should-my-daily-intake-of-calories-be\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">experts<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While a can of Coca-Cola Energy won&rsquo;t take up so much of your daily limit, it&rsquo;s still best to practice self-control and not use this drink as a meal replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally speaking, <strong>energy drinks can&rsquo;t provide you with all the nutrients your body needs<\/strong> to keep going, so it&rsquo;s important to eat a properly balanced meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Much_Caffeine_Is_In_A_Coca-Cola_Energy_Drink\"><\/span>How Much Caffeine Is In A Coca-Cola Energy Drink?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Coca-Cola Energy contains 114mg of caffeine in a 12 fl.oz can, which is quite a high amount of caffeine for its size. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/adf.org.au\/drug-facts\/caffeine\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/adf.org.au\/drug-facts\/caffeine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Caffeine<\/a> is a <strong>natural stimulant<\/strong> that helps us stay awake and alert. Consuming caffeine provides us with the energy boost we need during our tiring days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it&rsquo;s clear why caffeine is the key ingredient in energy drinks, I still think the <strong>114mg of caffeine<\/strong> in Coca-Cola Energy is a little more than the ideal amount. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong><em>I only consume around 50mg to 100mg of caffeine, and Coca-Cola Energy&rsquo;s caffeine content of 114mg per serving goes beyond that limit. I try to avoid highly caffeinated beverages as I don&rsquo;t enjoy the side effect of too much caffeine.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/how-long-does-caffeine-last#how-long-symptoms-last\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/how-long-does-caffeine-last#how-long-symptoms-last\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">research<\/a>, caffeine peaks within an hour after consumption and eliminating caffeine in our system takes around four to six hours, which is why caffeine is known to have a <strong>half-life.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s also important to note that the effects will vary depending on your own caffeine metabolism. Coca-Cola Energy&rsquo;s caffeine content may be a little too much for you if you&rsquo;re someone who has a low caffeine tolerance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though, I still don&rsquo;t recommend you reach out for multiple cans of this drink at once, even if you&rsquo;re an avid caffeine drinker.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/consumers\/consumer-updates\/spilling-beans-how-much-caffeine-too-much\">FDA<\/a>, the recommended daily intake of caffeine is <strong>not more than 400mg<\/strong>, so regularly going over this limit can bring about several health&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/medlineplus.gov\/caffeine.html\">risks<\/a>&nbsp;such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Restlessness&nbsp;<\/li><li>Jittery feeling<\/li><li>Insomnia<\/li><li>Headaches<\/li><li>Dizziness<\/li><li>Rapid&nbsp;<\/li><li>Palpitations<\/li><li>Dehydration<\/li><li>Anxiety<\/li><li>Dependency<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s also worth noting that caffeine&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/caffeine-crash\">crashing<\/a>&nbsp;is possible when you include a highly caffeinated energy drink like Coca-Cola Energy in your diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s the result of the lack of sleep or consuming too much caffeine.

It&rsquo;s also best to only drink half of the can first and save the other half later.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This way, you won&rsquo;t put your body in total shock due to the high amount of sugar in this drink. Another tip for monitoring your overall sugar intake is being aware of the label and <strong>added sugars<\/strong> included in your energy drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Ingredients\"><\/span>Other Ingredients <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vitamins_and_Minerals\"><\/span>Vitamins and Minerals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Coca-Cola Energy is advertised as an energy drink that contains B-Vitamins, namely vitamin B6 and B3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vitamin B3, also known as&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/niacin-benefits\">niacin<\/a>, is a great added ingredient to consume as it helps&nbsp;<strong>increases brain power<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>lowers down diabetes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Coca-Cola Energy&rsquo;s vitamin content is an added advantage, you should avoid having too many vitamins as it can lead to side <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/diet\/guide\/effects-of-taking-too-many-vitamins#1\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/diet\/guide\/effects-of-taking-too-many-vitamins#1\" target=\"_blank\">effects<\/a> such as diarrhoea, nausea and even hair loss.

Not to mention, all that sugar also comes with other added ingredients that pose health risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think Coca-Cola Energy isn&rsquo;t the best option for an energy drink, regardless of whether you have any pre-existing conditions. It just has way too much sugar to be consumed regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, there&rsquo;s plenty of other energy drinks out there that are low in sugar, and some are sugar-free even. I think they&rsquo;re much healthier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, if you still insist on drinking this energy drink, my advice is to <strong>have it occasionally and drink only half the can first.<\/strong> It&rsquo;s also best to keep your weekly intake of Coca-Cola Energy to a maximum of only two cans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&rsquo;re probably here because you just heard that one of the world&rsquo;s leading multinational beverage corporations, Coca-Cola, has launched their energy drink called Coca-Cola Energy.
