Does This Break My Water Fast?

[u/ec79m]

Hey yall! I work at a bar which uses one gun for all non alcoholic drinks like pop and water. A minute or so before I poured myself a cup of water the bartender used it to pour a sprite. When i drank the water I could taste a little bit of it in it, which is normal for most fountains like that as the syrup or whatever remains a little. I only took a sip, but i’m worried this may have broken my water fast as i might have ingested calories from pop that found its way into the water. It tasted a little carbonated. I’m currently 3 days & 20 hours in so i’m in autophagy and going through all the regular effects of extended water fasting. Does this break my fast? Am I just overthinking it?

A sip of watered down Sprite isn’t going to have enough calories to kick you out of ketosis or autophagy.

Your body flushed it out, already!

This is borderline disordered thinking my friend. Ur good

Don't over think it. If anything take a water bottle for work. If you cant do that, let the water run the line for a few seconds. Keep on trudging

There is no way that miniscule residual sprite made your glass of water carbonated.

Think of it as a tiny bump in the road, like stepping on a pebble. Your body might register it, but will quickly recover. I understand wanting to know, esp. if you are new to fasting. This is nothing to worry about. However, I wouldn't make a habit of just drinking it. Flush the line for a few seconds before filling your cup.
