Sugary Cocktails
Although elaborate mixed cocktails may appear appetizing, they can contain excessive amounts of calories.
Sugary Cocktails
One 8-ounce serving of a Long Island iced tea, for instance, has roughly 500 calories. A McDonald's double cheeseburger has less calories than that.
Frozen Beach Drinks
Strawberry daiquiris and pia coladas may seem delicious on a bright beach day, but if you're trying to lose weight, you should probably steer clear.
Frozen Beach Drinks
Both daiquiris and pia coladas contain roughly 280 calories per 5 oz drink, as reported by the Cleveland Clinic.
Craft Beer
The average calorie count of a 12-ounce craft beer is 170. The reason for this distinction from mass-produced beers is that artisan brews sometimes include flavor-enhancing additives and additional carbohydrates.
Craft Beer
Craft beers often have a higher alcohol level, and more alcohol implies more calories, so the latter may help you drink less than you would if you were sitting down with a light beer.
