Some people have told me that Gatorade is okay for low-carb diets...when i had some yesterday, i looked at the labels and its like 35 grams of carbs, but another label said its scientifically formulated to replenish, refuel muscle stores or whatever...true or not???

The only time you EVER want to use any powdered gatorade would be PWO with your protein. Bulking or cutting you should not be drinking it otherwise.

I think gatorade is best used while playing sports... tennis, basketball, football, etc...

I used gatorade when I have long tennis sessions where I'm playing for like 3 hours straight... keeps your energy levels higher...

I used poweraid mix with my creatine.

Also watch the sugars. Yesterday after a mtn bike ride this little red-bull-truck thing pulled up and they gave us each a can. I drank it, reluctantly (mostly 'cause it tastes like crap) ... but it had 27g sugar in it.

I seriously considered puking it up just to not let the sugar in my system, lol ...

You will get more informed opinions, but let me just say hell no.
