After finally realizing I did not have a dependency on diet coke and have sense almost completely stopped drinking it (nothing more than an ounce or two while I'm at work. I work at a restaurant so it being readily available draws me in) I'm looking for alternatives to drink. Water has been pretty huge for me as it should. I drink a G2 during workouts sometimes. I've had green tea before, but I kind of drank it more cause I knew it was good for me not because I enjoyed it. But now I've taken a liking to the taste. My question is, are the benefits of regular green tea greater than the disadvantages of consuming the calories? Or does regular and diet both have the same advantages?

I'm trying to lose fat, have been for a while. I know the calories in regular green tea aren't so overwhelming, but I figured I would ask to see if they were or were not necessary. Thanks for the help.
