Wine

I enjoy a glass of wine with dinner. I've been denying myself that to reach my weight loss goals. Is that something I should save for my cheat day or can I splurge on a glass of red wine whenever?

    Well do the calories fit in your day? I personally sometimes but not always can fit in a glass or two of wine.

    I had a glass of wine, sometimes two, pretty much every day while losing. I'm in maintenance now and usually have two glasses several times a week. At ~125 calories per 5 oz pour, it shouldn't be too hard to fit into your calories, as long as your deficit isn't too aggressive.

    Yes, usually it fits. I'll re figure something's and make it fit ;) problem is, wine makes me eat more. But I'll work that out, get that under control.

    Fit it in, I do that and I'm on "only" 1200 a day - I wouldn't get far by cutting out wine completely ;-)

    I try to limit to 1 glass because like you said, wine makes me eat more! More than 1 glass and i'll be raiding the fridge.

    I just started buying the little one serving wine bottles instead of a whole bottle. This way, I am not tempted to have another glass -- two glasses always leads me to extra late night snacks. :(
