About 350, I think.

If you can handle white wine, you get almost zero carbs in a decent one. Most lagers, regardless of brand will give you around one gram of carbs per ounce of beer, 2/3-3/4 of that in a light beer.

A hint; The higher the alcohol content, the more calories.

[poanoi]

san miguel light is being advertised for low calories,

but i did a check many years ago and it isnt that much less than any other,

and red wine wasnt far behind beer either.

So cut down beer or live with your gut

[kennedy]

I believe a 330 ml can of Leo is 150 calories.

IMO the OP wants to know which beer has the least amount of calories so this particular beer could (cumulatively-spoken)be drunk the most.

Is the real mission the loose the weight or to drink less...

[Beechboy]

The stronger the beer the higher the calories, as somebody said.

I drink Tiger @ 5% in Thailand, but Foster's @ 4% in England. I notice the difference in my weight situation.

Also alcohol is much more easily combustable by the human body than anything else. So alcohol is burned off first, leaving any food you have at the same time or thereabouts unburned to be turned into fat.

I always find increased exersise more beneficial to me than calorie counting when I want to lose those extra pounds, but we're all different.

When it comes to beer counting calories is a little pointless. Low carb beers are essentially a marketing ploy as the body will metabolise the alcohol content as sugar and the only true "low carb beer" is a low alcohol beer.

Basically, like Dancealot said, the key is drinking less - I try to limit my drinking to a few beers a couple of days a week and it isn't always easy but it makes a huge difference. As long as you drink less, eat smart, and keep active the weight will come off.

If you drink a lot of cider in the afternoon then you will find the thought of beer in the evening most off-putting, surely this is the way to go...works for me anyway.

You cant loose weight without either cutting your intake of calories (beer whatever) or increasing your burn of calories (exercise).

People think there are magic shortcuts, there are not it takes a few sacrifices and time.

If it took a long time to put it on it will take a long time to get rid of it.

Another idea is to have a glass of beer or two watered down with plenty of ice.

DIY Light beer cause your not drinking as much. Thats what i do, still sociable but not as pissed

Spot on. If you kid yourself that you can lose weight just by upping your exercise, it doesn't work, particularly when you're older. The key to losing weight is to eat and drink less, and reducing your alcohol intake is a huge contribution to that. You need a bit of regular exercise to keep your heart, lungs and other organs functioning properly.

Another way is to mix it with soda water. Hangover is a lot lighter, but you keep pissing

it kinda depends on how much you drink and how much you exercise. But to burn of a night of drinking you need more then a few hours of exercise. Controlling intake is much easier.

I have another concept i'm eager to try out:

having so much muscles so they will burn whatever calorie they can get, including beer calories

Although the first part of your post is spot on, the second part is complete nonsense. The amount of time it takes to put on weight has absolutely no bearing on how long it will take to lose it.

better up your weight then by 50 to 100lbs of muscle. Its not that much that is burned extra. The exercise will help of course.

That depends how you look at it, i was talking about someone gaining 20kg in a year or so its not like your going to loose that in 3 months. But if you just gained 5 kg in a year its easy to loose it. Its more like it took you time to gain it its not going to be gone over night. So yes you are right in what your saying i should have been more clear.

I noted this highly interesting sentence from that link

Even by more conservative estimates strength training is still preferable to endurance activities or so-called “cardio” for fat loss for numerous reasons.

That sums it up quite well me thinks

Who says its an if question.. both is better..

It's chemically impossible to metabolize alcohol into sugar. That would be about as likely as turning smoke into wood.

[kurnell]

You could stick to root beer and double thick Oreo Cookies

Not too sure about the wood part. I've smoked some serious shit and still got wood after.

There is nothing fattening in beer. Beer act as a stimulant to eat. Hence why most take-aways are around pubs. http://petebrown.blogspot.com/2012/07/beer-is-not-as-fattening-as-you-think.html

Problem is that it usually is not 1 beer or 2,5% alcohol like in that example. Anyway to each his or her own.

Sorry to be a little bit off topic Robblok. Is there a lot of calories in non fat milk?

[robblok]

Not that much id say only 86 in a glass 250ml or so. 16 grams of peanut butter contains more calories.

[poanoi]

If i could get the kefir thick every time, i would do nuffing but drink kefir,

i like it thick & sour

The problem with non fat milk is that it also contains about 9g of carbs in the form of lactose (a simple sugar). This will cause a rise in insulin levels, and insulin is what shuttles the carbs into fat cells for storage. And since approx. 75% of the world population is lactose intolerant it could also be causing bloating and water retention. The only way to know is to go off all dairy products for 1-2 weeks and see if you become less bloated or smooth looking.
