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
About Me
Hey guys! I am a native Washingtonian, wife & mother of two. My story is much like most women who have struggled to regain their body, love-of-self, and emotional confidence while going through life’s challenges. Eating became my biggest comfort in dealing with these challenges, and little by little 100 extra pounds of guilt and shame became my newest reality.
My wake-up call was looking in the mirror and not recognizing the person staring back at me, nor being familiar with the pain & illnesses associated with this new body. I had become a different person, but I knew, deep down inside, that I loved myself more than the stranger I had become. By the grace of God, consistency, and determination, I crawled out of depression and into a life filled with rejuvenation and purpose through healthy eating and daily exercise. Heal the mind and the body will follow! Tap into your emotional center and you'll discover the TRUE Beauty N YOU!

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.
