Are you what is being classified as a “lifestyle user” of beverages. You may be called a “lifestyle user” if you are not very athletic but you instead select sports nutritional products as part of a healthier lifestyle.  Perhaps you look for a beverage as  a quick meal replacement or simply a healthy snack.  The best beverage for you may be water first since you are not very active and then consider your sport type beverages on days you work out.
