A pound of fat is roughly 3,500 calories. Unless your beers were quart-sized, there's no way 4 beers was 3,500 calories. So it must be water weight. Or you just hadn't eliminated waste yet that day, or any other reason that the body naturally fluctuates by a few/several pounds on a daily basis.0

Don't stress. I breathe in more calories than that in an eat out! I just remember to get up and move a bit more. Replace all my foods in the next 12 hours with celery, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, Jicama.endlessfall16 wrote: »4 beers should be much less than 500 calories which shouldn't gain you much weight.

That's why I mentioned it was all within my calorie limit and macros. It was THAT bad of a day that there was no time to do all my small meals (which works for me better than 2/3 big ones). Again, thanks for your info! It really put my mind at ease after being consistent in the practice of CICO.
And for those above-- it was Busch Light. It's what my friend who fixed my furnace in a blizzard had.
Dang. I would bill him for the labor, then.

I wouldn't sweat it. I have one or two most nights and I'm losing consistently so far.0

Highly depends on the type of beer you drink. I had two beers last night, which added about 500 calories to my day.
I've had single beers for 500 calories (and they were worth every single one!) I've got a bottle of Dogfish Higher Math in my cellar that's > 500 kcal for a 12 oz pour.
That's one of the best I've ever had. Unfortunately the bar I was at only had it in 5oz pours.0 -
My weakness is Amstel by the pint (not lady like) over 200 calories a glass - allowance 1200 a day, eek that's 6 pints and no food... bad times! :-)0

Very cool @auddii. I'm waiting for a proper occasion to crack it. Dogfish Head makes such great and creative stuff.0 -

You are right. I was going by bud light, coors light which are around 110 . Sapporo Premium even lists nothing
Do those count as beer? I assumed that was a typo and you meant to write 3,500 since that's how many calories it takes to add a pound. I forgot not everyone drinks microbrews.
Most people count those as beer. Craft beers make up a bit more than 10% of the market.0 -
