Liquid calories

DancesaurusRex

I started writing down everything I consume this week, and WOW, now I know where my belly came from! I know this probably isn't news to anyone on here, but I was amazed at how the beer calories add up. I had three dark seasonal Sammys watching football this weekend, and that alone was almost 900 extra calories!!! Yikes... So, I'm definitely cutting back. Or switching to bourbon.

[QUOTE]Light beer is your friend! That being said I still drink too much of it, especially on weekends. But I usually stick with the light beer or some red wine. Fruity drinks (margaritas, daqaris, etc.) are LOADED. Like some of them can be up toward 1000 for just one depending on the size! I actually came upon this website a few weeks ago..tells you how many calories are in pretty much everything. It's small at first, just click on it and it gets readable: <a href="http://cdn2.mademan.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/get-drunk-not-fat2.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://cdn2.mademan.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/get-drunk-not-fat2.jpg</a>

When I started looking at really what was in what I was eating I was stunned. Then right before Christmas my boss treated everyone in the office to some pizza and beer. He knows I don't really like the taste of beer so he bought me Mike's hard lemonade light. It's like half the calories. It doesn't taste as great but it's better then what I was drinking before. Just a thought, once you get use to them they aren't so terrible.

I try to limit all forms of liquid calories, and was shocked to see how many were in the Sherry cocktails I was drinking (about $450). 

Now I stick to carefully measured rum and diet cokes.
