    I log everything that goes through my mouth into my stomach. Wine has calories so if I drink wine I log wine.

    How many calories are in wine?

    Red ~ 125 per 5 oz pour, white can be more depending on the wine.

    It depends on the type, but a decent average (for red at least) is 120 calories for a standard 5 ounce pour.

    % of Alcohol X Ounces X 1.6 = Calorie Content I found this equation once. I can't remember where so I can't verify accuracy. I don't drink a lot of wine, but it has been accurate everytime I have used it and compared it to labels.

    Awesome thank you!

    I will add that if you aren't accustomed to measuring your wine, you may want to do that. What we're served in bars or restaurants is often more than 5 ounces. If you pour what looks "right" at home, you may be getting 8-9 ounces in the glass.

    I just bring this up because when I started logging, I had *no idea* what 5 ounces actually looked like. I was getting closer to 180-200 calories in my glass with what I thought was a "standard" pour.

    When I was counting my calories I had my friendly local bar serve me my wine in a mini carafe with the oz/ml markings on the side. I also got a mini carafe of ice to make my wine last longer.

    Now I'm not counting I enjoy the over pour I get as a local. :)

    Cheers, h.

    If I don't log my wine, I get those nasty MFP messages saying I'm not eating enough. So, I reluctantly log my wine just so I don't go into starvation mode.

    Starvation mode isn't a thing, but if you are regularly eating below the minimum recommended level by MFP (1200 for women and 1500 for men) then closing the gap with wine isn't a great nutritional choice for your calories.

    I think I'm getting the vibe here.
    Wine is Special and many consider wine the 'superior calories'.
    Yep, I concur.
    :p

    It's a Strange World We Live In, Innit?
    We all have alias usernames and some of us post profile pics of flowerpots.
    I always say, when I feel philosophical, "it's an ill wind that blows a family court lawyer no good".
    Or something like that.
