How much weight will you gain from drinking beer?
Drinking beer in moderation (one to two drinks per day for women and two to three drinks per day for men) is not likely to cause significant weight gain. However, drinking beer in excess can lead to weight gain, as beer contains calories, carbohydrates, and alcohol.
A standard can of beer contains about 150 calories, 13 grams of carbohydrates, and 5 grams of alcohol. Drinking one can of beer per day can add up to about 1,050 calories per week. If you are not burning off these calories through exercise or other activities, they will be stored as fat, which can lead to weight gain.
In addition to the calories in beer, alcohol also impairs judgment and self-control, which can lead to overeating and poor food choices. Drinking beer can also dehydrate you, which can make you feel hungrier and more likely to overeat.
If you are concerned about your weight, it is important to moderate your alcohol intake. You can also talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian about healthy ways to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight.
Here are some tips for drinking beer without gaining weight:
- Set limits on your drinking. Drink no more than one to two drinks per day for women and two to three drinks per day for men.
- Choose light beers or low-calorie beers.
- Drink slowly and enjoy each sip.
- Avoid drinking beer on an empty stomach.
- Eat healthy snacks while you are drinking beer.
- Exercise regularly to burn off the calories you consume from beer.
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
