Ah, time for weekend again! I reminded you of the water intake. Now here’s a reminder of the calorie intake.
Remember a man needs approximately 2500 and a woman 2000 calories a day (31-50 yrs).
So that means I can drink 20 vodka’s today (and need about 6 liters/1,6 gallons of water) !
Beer | Per Unit |
“Light” Beer | 108 calories, 6 g carbs |
Draft Beer | 144 calories, 13.2 g carbs |
Lager | 168 calories, 13.2 g carbs |
Ale | 216 calories, 13.2 g carbs |
Wine | Per Unit |
Dessert Wine | 200 calories, 8 g carbs |
Pinot Grigio | 100 calories, 2 g carbs |
Chardonnay | 100 calories, 2 g carbs |
Cabernet Sauvignon | 100 calories, 4 g carbs |
Merlot Red Wine | 100 calories, 4 g carbs |
Hard Liquor | Per Unit |
Gin | 98 calories, 0 g carbs |
Whiskey | 105 calories, 0 g carbs |
White Rum | 100 calories, 0 g carbs |
Vodka | 96 calories, 0 g carbs |
Cognac | 104 calories, 3 g carbs |
Tequila | 104 calories, 8 g carbs |
Please note:
- -units are Beer: 12oz/35cl, Wine: 0,5oz/15cl, Liquor: 1,2oz/3,5cl
- -cals and carbs differ between the brands. this is just an general summary
- -mixing with sirops and postmix drinks (cola, tonic, etc) makes the cals fly up, of course
- -drinking alcohol also reduces the amount of fat your body burns for energy
- -cals in alcohol are as good as ’empty’. Hardly any nutritional value there
- -I had breakfast, lunch and dinner. So 20 vodka’s was a bad calculation
- -nobody can or should ever drink that much anyway
Just having fun while giving you an informative reminder ; ). Have a great evening! Don’t forget your water!
