Re: What kind of alchohol should I drink?
Thing is, alcohol contains 7 kCals per gram. So compare that to carbs and protein which contain 4 kCals per gram and fat which is 9 kCals per gram.
And, those are not the only Calories you get from alcoholic beverages. In mixed drinks you can get quite a few calories from carbohydrates (simple sugars) in the mixer, and with beer, ~ 1/3rd of the calories are from carbohydrates.
So, for losing weight, you need to track and maintain an optimal caloric intake. You can certainly enjoy "a drink" on the weekends, but a half-rack or two is going to set you back. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] So, I really can't say what to drink but just don't drink too much of it...
