I have been doing really good on my diet and exercise program for over a week. I have cut out all soda and havent drank anything but water at all. Tonight I am going out with some friends and plan on drinking. I am going to be sure to workout today so I can burn some calories before I go but what are some low cal drinks I can drink? I normally drink Vodka. My favorite is a double vodka cranberry and pineapple . I would love some help please.

hard liquor with diet soda it usually pretty good (usually close to 70 cal) or if they have it have them use sugar free cranberry juice0

Try the skinny girl margarita. The one at Applebee's is only 100 calories and really good.0

Sprite has a lot of sugar in it, you want to stay away from sugar...
So stay w/ the Zero sodas and Diet sodas0 -
white wine spritzers are nice with soda water0

yep, vodka is probably the best of the bunch. as someone mentioned, lime, and soda works well. or just get an expensive vodka like Grey Goose, and put it on ice.0

How many calories is a shot of vodka in general. I normally drink Stoli. I do like taking shots but need something to sip on so i dont get in too much trouble lol.0 -

Soda water.0 -
the super light beers have less calories because they also have significantly less alcohol in them. If that's OK with you and you like beer, then go for it.
Really, I think on a "per unit of alcohol" scale, a normal light beer (bud light, miller, etc) has pretty close to the same calorie count as a shot of vodka. (a 1.5oz shot of vodka is 1/8 the size of a 12 oz beer, but it also has ~8 times more alcohol per unit volume assumin it is 80proof....~5% for beer, ~40% for vodka)
Basically, if you drink hard alcohol avoid mixing it with anything that has calories or you are likely better off drinking beer.
Edit: noticed you said you do not like beer, but what others are saying still applies..don't be mixin' your booz with anything other than very low to 0 calorie mixers like water, soda water, or a diet cola (which some people would tell you to avoid for entirely different reasons haha)0 -

i drink this but with plain water. i usually make singles in a tall glass with lots of ice so it's cold. using a higher end vodka helps too.0 -
Vodka usually has about 65 calories to a shot. Your best bet is vodka and diet so you only get calories from the vodka. The "soda" people are referring to is just soda water, so it doesn't add any calories. You can also do vodka with soda water and a splash of cranberry with a lime, so you get some of those same flavors but without all those calories and sugar!0

Thanks for the info!0 -
I have honestly never had soda water. How does it taste? Sounds kind of yucky lol. When I ask for it just say soda water?0

There's a search button. Use it.
Weights and Cardio should ideally be on two seperate days. Otherwise, weights first. Then cardio.
Going over on protein won't hurt your weight loss if you're under on your overall cals.
If you don't like drinking water, drink it anyways, your body needs it to function.
If you shop at GNC you're getting ripped off.
If you're taking Shakeology, you're getting ripped off.
i see you got tired of answering the same questions over and over. LOL0
