I'm watching the calories when it comes to alcohol.?

Question

Which alcohol (vodka, tequila, whiskey) has the least amount of calories. I like to mix it with diet coke.

Answer 1

all alcohol has the same amount of calories and that is 7 per gram. Protein and carbs have 4 per gram and fat has 9 per gram. When you're watching your calories, alcohol should not be on the list! Each ounce contains 28 grams so do the math and if your shots are bigger than an ounce, yikes!!

Answer 2

Actually, I am in the same boat as you. Surprisingly, vodka (any kind) per 1 oz shot is 60 calories. A shot of dark rum (captain morgan, etc.) is still only 60 calories. Do a quick search on yahoo or google for calories in alcohol and you will see the same thing.

Answer 3

They are all the same proof and thus the same alcohol content thus the same amount of calories Alcohol is alcohol and metabolizes into the same amount of sugar. If you are worrying about calories why are you drinking anyway?

Here's a news flash, WATER has no calories and happens to be good for you!

Answer 4

The lighter the color, the less the calories. Also, the proof of an alcohol is equal to the calories in a given volume.

Answer 5

Diet coke has synthetic sugar so your body responds in a bad way and you keep the weight.

Drink the clear stuff like vodka. The brown stuff is caramelized so it has more sugar, yet liqueur does pack on the weight alone.

Answer 6

Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)

Answer 7

That stuff is too hard! Hard on the liver, kidneys, and not to forget your complexion. I sure hope you alternate with pure water! Coke will rot your teeth, too! & make you fatter & fatter!
