Recent studies looking at the effects of consuming sugary drinks with meals are finding that doing so may be “priming” the body to store more fat, especially with meals high in protein. There are a couple mechanisms responsible for this impact. For one, not all of the additional calories from the beverage are expended for energy. In addition, these extra calories in the beverage did not make participants feel more satisfied. Also, fat oxidation is reduced and less energy is required to metabolize the meals. Finally, the combination of sugary drinks with high-protein meals was found to increase cravings for salty and savory foods in the hours following the meal, which can lead to even more calories being consumed. Thus, if you want to have a sugary drink, try having it between meals as a snack rather than at mealtime to attempt to alleviate some of the fat storing effects.
