Can you have sparkling water while intermittent fasting?
Short answer
Plain sparkling water does not break a fast if it has no calories or sweeteners.
Step by step
1
Look up the calories and ingredients for sparkling water.
2
Choose a rule before the fast starts so you are not deciding while hungry.

Use the same rule for at least a few fasts before judging whether it works.

If sparkling water makes you hungrier, switch back to water, plain tea, or black coffee for a cleaner test.
