How Many Calories in Beer


Custom Search

There is no denying that most of us like the odd tipple here and there, whether it be out on the town or within the four walls of your house. While this indulgence provides no benefit to your Health and Fitness goals it is easy to just simply dismiss it and say “Don’t Drink!”.


Alcohol Guide

However, on the road of Losing Weight or Building Muscle you are more than likely going to encounter some occasion that will see you having a drink or two...or many more! With this in mind our aim is to inform you on the drinks to chose to prevent Fat gain from a night out.

Although I would recommend refraining from alcohol completely, if you have to indulge in a few drinks from time to time try to stick with very "clean" choices which contain low sugar, carb and calories.

 These choices can actually be quite painless with the introduction of low carb beers and zero sugar soft drinks.
 

How does alcohol make me fat?

One fifth of the alcohol you drink is absorbed directly into the bloodstream after consumption. Once in your bloodstream it move directly into the liver where it is immediately broken down into waste product known as acetate and acetaldehyde. These products send a message to your body to halt the fat burning process.

Also, beverages high in carbs promote fat gain due to the carbs raising your levels of insulin, a hormone the triggers fat storage.

Pure alcohol contains about 7 calories per gram, just shy of the caloric value for fat (9 calories per gram)
