Our light beer calorie guide is indispensible reading for beer fans with one eye on the future (and the other eye on the scales).
Why should you care about the calories in the beer you consume?
You might imagine that simply by choosing a light beer over a regular alternative, you're doing enough to ensure your good health. Of course, anything is a help! But (good tasting brews aside), there are "good" and "less good" choices to make when it comes to light beer calorie content.
A regular habit of drinking one beer per night could have a significant impact on your long-term weight. The difference between the most calorific and the least calorific of light beers (currently 79 cals per 330ml bottle) works out to more than 28,000 calories per year at one 330ml bottle of beer per day.
To gain one pound in weight, assuming no change
in exercise,
you need to consume 3,500 extra calories.
So by drinking a lighter choice in the above example, you'd save 8lbs of weight gain over the course of a year.
That's why it makes sense to care about those light beer calorie amounts!
We'll continue to update this page as we discover more breweries who are upfront enough to publish the calorie content in their beers.
At the UNOB, we believe that consumers of beer deserve as much respect as snack buyers or concerned parents. These days, there's no excuse for a lack of information. We'll be doing all we can to find a full list of light beer calorie values for you.
We'll hyperlink to live reviews on our site where applicable and ask our Beer Delegates to check out each of the brews as soon as possible.
