    I do that with pizza and chocolate...or cookies! Man my neighbour makes the most delicious cookies. I will seriously eat an entire bowl full with milk. I kid you not.

    Beer though, I don't really like alcohol ;)

    I'm at 1500 cals but usually consume less. Especially Fri and Sat because those are beer nights.

    that's not clever

    The 1500 minimum for men is so you can have enough calories to hit your nutritional requirements

    Why are you set to minimum? Why are you eating less?

    Heh! No choice. I sell craft beer for a living. :) I am only recently becoming more calorie conscious about my intake though.

    My job is writing tasting notes, it's a hard life ;)

    I want a job tasting beer! Lol. Especially the lovely high calorie stouts and porters! My calories are set at 1200 so to meet my macros and have a couple of beers I know I will be over my calories. I just have to make sure I exercise and only do it once every week or two. Totally worth it.

    Good news, porters are usually on the lower end of the (craft beer) calorie spectrum. High gravity stouts...not so much. But you drink less than the session beers, for sure. Typically higher abv = higher calories. Like anything, make it worth it. I love beer, but I won't waste a sip on a beer I don't like A LOT.

    I don't like beer but I do make room for wine, and Schnapps in my hot cocoa. :)

    Yes, I have the occasional beer but I do find it fills me up quite a bit faster than it used to.

    This is a very good question. Not only to be set so low, but to intentionally aim lower. You need to make sure you body is getting enough nutrients and eating cleaner (however you choose to define it) does not guarantee this. Are you getting enough protein, carbs, fats, and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) to get/keep your body healthy while losing weight? Weight loss can be very stressful on the body and this is an important time to pay closer attention to these things.

    I'm a wine drinker (please don't hate me) and once a week I'll have 2-3 glasses. My problem is that the next day I crave carbs and unhealthy foods and usually cave in. So I'm up a couple of pounds, then lose them in a day or teo, then am back on my downward trend. It's frustrating, but SO worth it.

    I agree! I would rather have no beer than crappy or "light" beer Blech!!

    I have zero alcohol tolerance anymore. If I could stop altogether I would, and during those periods I have I feel great, but beer tastes too good and it makes other people tolerable. So there's that. So yes, I fit it in.

    I hardly drink anymore. When I plan on drinking, make sure to bank some of my daily allotment and exercise.
