Okay, So I've swapped beer and burger at the pub for light beer and veggie burger. But I wonder, which Light beer should I choose? I found this info on http://www.beer100.com/beercalories.htm so I though't I'd share. But taste matters. So here's the top ten that I found, what's your thoughts on taste vs calories vs carbs... which beer would you order?
1. Budweiser Select 55 - 55 calories and 1.9 carbs, but only 2.9% Alchohol by volume (ABV) so you'd definitely have more than one
2. Pabst Extra Light Low Alcohol - 67 calories, but still only 2.9% ABV
3. Anheuser Busch Light and Natural Light - 95 calories, 4.2% ABV, and 3.2 carbs.
4. Michelob Ultra - 95 calories, 4.1%ABV, 2.6g carbs
5. Miller Lite - has 96 calories 4.2%ABV and 3.2g carbs
6. Milwaukee's Best Light - has 98 calories, 4.2% ABV and 3.5g of carbs
7. Yuengling Light - 98 calories, with 3.8% ABV (that's a good buzz) but a hefty 6.6 grams of carbs!
8. Budweiser Select (regular) -- 99 calories, 4.3% ABV and 3.1g carbs (and, note this is NOT BudLight, which has 110 calories and 6.6 g carbs)
9. Keystone Light -- 103 calories, 4.13% ABV and 5.0g carbs (I've had this beer and I'm not a fan)
10. Icehouse Light -- 103 calories, 4.13% ABV and 5.5g
10+1. Okay, so it isn't top ten... But I have to add Corona Light -- 105 calories, 4.5% ABV and 5.0g of carbs
****this is based on 12 oz serving size
The Yuengling Light would be my choice for taste, but I think I'll have to switch up to something with fewer carbs. What beer would ya'll order? (For those dieters who still drink, that is)
P.S. - I would avoid Weinhard's Amber Light at 135 calories, 11.5g carbs and also Sam Adams Light with its 124 calories and 9.7g of carbs.

Liquor is the way to go.0

thanks for sharing! i have switched to vodka & diet cokes (70 cals each) when i can & usually have miller lite if i don't have the option for liquor.0
-
Yeah, liquor-wise I usually order vodka & cranberry (or light cranberry juice if they have it) which I estimate is around 125 calories anyway, though I suppose very little carbs. But, sometimes, you just want a beer. :drinker:0

Vodka and diet coke is the way to go if you can handle the vodka. Used to be a Mich Ultra girl until starting MFP, but can drink much less now with less calories doing the vodka and diet coke combo.0

MGD 64 only 64 calories0
-
I would go with Guiness Draught - Bottle 126 Calories.0
-
The MGD 64 is much better tasting than the Bud 55... apparently it is in those 9 calories.
Personally, I am a Bud Light girl OR Vodka/lemonade.
When I go out, I am having several and take it as a cheat day. Usually 1-2 per month

According to their website, MGD 64 (@ 2.8% ABV) contains 64 cals, 2.4 carbs and 2.8% ABV per 12 oz. Not a bad choice.0
