Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 5 ingredients to avoid

Bucked Up Lightly Carbonated Protein Lemon-Lime scores 30/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Bucked Up Lightly Carbonated Protein Lemon-Lime lists 10 ingredients, starting with Water, Whey Protein Isolate, Citric Acid, Natural Flavors and Sucralose. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 30/100 Bucked Up Lightly Carbonated Protein Lemon-Lime scores worse than most energy drinks we have scored. A higher-scoring option in energy drinks is VitaLife Sparkling Energy at 100/100.
