Calories in Alcohol - Why Alcohol Can Affect Your Weight

Ever wondered how many calories are in your favourite alcoholic drinks? We have matched the calorie content of alcoholic drinks with a fatty food equivalent and uncovered some shocking results.

Surprisingly, many people would not be able to tell you how many calories are in their drinks, and recent NHS research certainly surprised many by highlighting that alcoholic drinks often contain as many calories as an unhealthy meal.

Below are some of the more surprising calorie comparisons.

Beer & cider

The average beer drinker consumes five pints of medium strength lager a week, which mounts up to around 44,200 calories a year - the equivalent of 221 doughnuts.

One pint of strong lager = 330 calories. Same as a four ounce fillet steak.

One pint of average strength lager = 200 calories. Same as one packet of crisps.

One pint of premium lager = 250 calories. Same as a small chocolate bar.
One pint of cider = 200 calories. Same as one fried chicken drumstick.

Wine

If they don't work off the calories from their wine, the average wine drinker will put on half a stone per year.

The average wine drinker now consumes 2,000 extra calories a month - the equivalent of 10 bags of crisps
Large glass of medium strength dry white wine = 190 calories. Same as two and a half digestive biscuits.

Bottle of medium strength dry white wine = 570 calories. Same as chicken with cashew nuts and egg fried rice.

A bottle of average strength red wine = 644 calories. Same as 14 Jaffa cakes or McDonald's cheeseburger and medium fries.

Half a bottle of average strength red wine = 313 calories. Same as a Snickers chocolate bar.

Spirits

One shot (25ml) of vodka or gin = 55 calories. Same as a 25ml serving of single cream

Large Bailey's (100ml) = 320 calories. Same as a Snickers Bar.
Baring in mind that these comparisons only factor in one alcoholic drink, adding up a total at the end of an evening could leave you clocking up as many calories as a multi-pack of chocolate bars or crisps.

Snack attack

Snacking on crisps while you're out drinking to tide you over till you get home is all too tempting, and combining this with a drink puts you well on your way to 500 calories - a fifth of the 2500 recommended daily calorie intake for men, and a quarter of a woman's. After a couple more drinks and maybe a take away on the home, you're way over the recommended calorie intake.

Burn baby, burn

If you're starting to feel like you can never drink again without worrying about the calorie content of your drinks, there is a solution. Preparing your body for the night ahead by exercising will help burn up some of the extra calories you are about to consume - even if it's just a power walk to the pub. Failing that, a good exercise session the next day can really help.

In the bag

Planning ahead a little can help prevent you reaching for the pork scratchings. Try packing a few healthy snacks in your bag beforehand. No doubt you'll find yourself chatting outside the pub at some point, which gives you the perfect opportunity to have a nibble.

It's what's on the inside that counts

Alcohol and calories have been dominating the news stories recently, which highlights that it's high on people's list of concerns when they think about the effects of alcohol.

With this being at the forefront of people's minds when they order a drink, there is a danger that more harmful effects of alcohol, such as damaging organs like the heart and liver may be pushed aside. Stay informed of the effect of alcohol by visiting our health facts area.

Description

The Cocoa Dipped, Double-Decker Crisp Clif Builder's Bar, is the first delicious high protein bar to pay tribute to those who turn their everyday world into a gym. Clif Builder's will fuel your muscles with added protein, especially when your day requires a little extra oomph. When work feels like a workout.

If you want to get more protein in your diet, but you don't want to sacrifice the benefits of all-natural ingredients or great taste, then the Clif Builder's Chocolate Bar is the perfect choice for you. With 20 grams of 100% natural protein from soy and nuts, and with no trans fats or hydrogenated oils, this dipped double-decker bar is delicious and nutritious. When it's chocolate and protein you need, this is the bar you want. Protein: The Immune System Booster Nobody likes to have their training derailed because of a cold, flu, or fatigue. Because protein is essential for producing red blood cells and antibodies that resist infection, Clif Builder's Chocolate Bars can help you get the amount of protein you need to stay in the game. About Clif Bar & Company: Sustaining People and the Environment Clif Bar & Company is committed to creating delicious, organic foods that are healthy for people and the planet. Clif knows that growing a healthy community, taking care of employees, and improving the environment are the only ways to operate a healthy, honest business. As a food company, Clif understands that it has a responsibility to help create a more sustainable food system. Clif aims to reduce its ecological footprint, from the field to the final product. Committed to adopting practices that support sustainable agriculture, Clif is moving toward zero waste, reduction of its climate footprint, and conservation and restoration of the natural resources and ecosystems that we all depend on. Clif's goal is to grow a business that operates in harmony with the laws of nature, and to learn from and share with others along the way. Natural Protein? Naturally! Protein comes from both plants and animals, but not all protein is created equally. The protein found in Clif Builder's Bars is free of antibiotics, hormones and genetic modifications, giving you a valuable investment in your total body health. So while an extra lean top sirloin steak or an organic chicken breast are great sources of protein, it's not always convenient to throw those in your briefcase or gym bag. That's why it's helpful to have a Clif Builder's Chocolate Bar on hand as a portable source of great-tasting natural protein that has ingredients you know and trust. Make Protein Work Harder For You Staying healthy boils down to two simple ingredients: regular exercise and proper nutrition. Being active and eating healthy foods are no-brainers, but all too often people overlook the importance of getting enough protein in their diets. Virtually every part of your body needs protein to stay healthy, and when you work out, you especially need protein because your body is breaking down and repairing tissue. The best time to grab a Clif Builder's Chocolate Bar is within 30 minutes of completing a workout or competition--the protein helps your muscles recover quickly and gets you ready for the next training session. More protein also helps your body repair cuts, wounds, strains, stress fractures, broken bones, and other problems, which shortens the time you'll be on the sideline. Build Your Brain with Clif Builder's Have a big meeting coming up? Need to write a report? Grab a Clif Builder's Chocolate Bar and get the brain boost you need to make it through. The protein in the bar helps keep your brain working properly. Brain cells talk to each other via messengers that are made up of amino acids, the building blocks of protein. Therefore, what you eat affects which neurons will be firing, and that in turn affects whether you'll feel energized or sluggish.
