Beers don’t have to be a caloric experience

If your waistline and the calendar are not in sync, and you need to shave some calories while you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, keep in mind that there are a number of beers containing less than 100 calories (based on a 12-ounce serving):

Miller Genuine Draft 64: 64 calories and 2.6 grams of carbohydrates

Michelob Ultra: 95 calories and 2.6 grams of carbohydrates

Anheuser Busch Natural Light: 95 calories and 3.2 grams of carbohydrates

Miller Lite: 96 calories and 3.2 grams of carbohydrates

Milwaukee’s Best Light: 98 calories and 3.5 grams of carbohydrates

Budweiser Select: 99 calories and 3.1 grams of carbohydrates

Amstel Light: 99 calories and 5.33 grams of carbohydrates

Heineken Light: 99 calories and 6.8 grams of carbohydrates

Beck’s Premium Light: 64 calories and 3.9 grams of carbohydrates

The last three on the list are all acceptable, and suprisingly the Beck’s is my favorite despite the low calorie count.

Thanks for the link to the great article. This guy is losing significant weight on a beer only diet. Not as great as it might sound based on my own experience. I was once stuck in Mexico with no clean water available and had to drink nothing but beer for a couple of days. Beer is not as thirst quenching as you may think. Although, if I had had access to a variety of quality craft beers. Hmm . . .
