CALORIES IN MIXED DRINKS




Binge drinking and getting drunk has no place in a Fitness Lifestyle....It really doesn't

Alcohol packs seven calories per gram, falling short of nine calories found in a gram of fat and nearly twice that in a gram of protein or carbohydrate. Add fat filled or sugary mixers, and the calories can reach 500 PER DRINK.

Below are several mixed drinks and beers high in calories just to start things off...I will continue the liqueur's tomorrow:

WHITE RUSSIAN: 863 CALORIES Contains cream, coffee liqueur & vodka (a Burger King Whopper is 670cal and a McDonald's Big Mac is 540cal...... 1 drink 863 calories

CHOCOLATINI: 440 CALORIES

LONG ISLAND ICED TEA: 380 CALORIES Contains vodka, gin, rum, triplesec, sour mix and coke....it's a doozy

MARGARITA: 331 CALORIES Contains Tequila

JACK AND COKE: 251 CALORIES

RUM AND DIET COKE: 110 CALORIES

VODKA AND DIET CRANBERRY: 140 a regular vodka & cranberry is 200 - 250 CALORIES

MARTINI: 171 CALORIES Contains Gin & Vermouth...These are very potent so be careful drinking this

BEERS TO STAY AWAY FROM

FAT TIRE: 160 CALORIES 15 GRAMS OF CARBS

BLUE MOON: 171 CALORIES 13.7 GRAMS OF CARBS

MICHELOB HONEY LAGER: 175 CALORIES 17.9 GRAMS OF CARBS

SAM ADAM CREAM STOUT: 195 CALORIES 23.94 GRAMS OF CARBS

SIERRA NEVADA BIGFOOT: 330 CALORIES 32.1 GRAMS OF CARBS

Hi Lisa,
I really can't get pass the smell of beer. An occassion white zinfandel is about all I can handle and then it's nap time.
