    Factor the beer into your macros... try not to drink everyday but still remember you need to live!!! You can see get results even if you drink but it will hinder the time process of reaching your goals

    I have a beer, glass of wine, or a cocktail most days, and often another. I've lost 65 pounds. Log them, and with such a low calorie goal, make sure you're getting your nutrients.

    I also burn nearly 500 calories a day on average through exercise, though. If I were less active, I'd be more concerned about the calories.

    OP - check out my diary - I have a separate category for beer and I prelog it at the beginning of the day so I know how many solid calories I need.

    Drink your beer through one of those hats with straws while walking on the treadmill!

    Alternatively, just have a beer and count it into your daily calories. :)

    best idea ever

    Pre-log your beer. Pre-logging is SUCH a godsend. I'll think I have no calories left, and then suddenly.... a whole beverage/snack is worked in that I forgot about!!! It's like a present for future you :)

    Well put.

    If I have a craving (for me it is generally WINE and CHOCOLATE) when I get up in the morning (or through the day sometimes), I put that glass of wine and/or chocolate right into my tracker as an after-dinner snack - at 8am. lol. This way, All day long, if the craving goes away, great...but if it doesn't, I've got it covered and I can sit on my couch and watch trash TV and enjoy my treats guilt-free. It is kinda like making a fake withdrawal in your checking account so you can afford those shoes you want when they go on sale...;-)


    Pre-logging helps for me as well. If I have enough by dinner time to allow for the wine/beer/treat, I have it!
