The holidays are upon us which means we get to eat, drink and be merry with our friends and loved ones. However, this is also the time that we tend to over indulge in some of our favourite things, alcohol being one of them. With all the family dinners and parties throughout Christmas season, it's hard to completely avoid consuming alcoholic beverages. I know how good they can taste, so here are some tips on calories and alcohol that you can use at your next party. Here's a post, if you need a reminder on caloric intake.
Red Wine (250ml) - ~170 calories
White Wine (250ml) - ~185 calories
Beer (bottle) - from 100-400 calories
1 oz Shot of hard liquor - ~60 calories
Highball - ~130 calories
Try to watch your portion control when you're drinking, the calories can add up very quickly with a liquid diet. Also, the drink with the lowest calories would be a shot with water or soda (not tonic water, as it has similar calories to pop), so something like a vodka water with a lime wedge.
Be disciplined about what and how much you choose to drink and you won't find yourself making "weight loss" your New Year's resolution. This is why January is a trainer's busiest time.
