    A 12oz serving of Guiness has 125 calories, 9.8 grams of carbs, and it's alcoholic content is 4.2%. Drink one and you'll be more satisfied than having two light beers.

    Also, the calories in each gram of pure alcohol is 7 calories, more than a gram of carb/protein and less than fat, so keep that in mind.

    As important it is to enjoy yourself, it's also important to realize that alcohol and muscle growth don't really pair well. Moderation is paramount.

    Molson Canadian 67 - 67 calories, no sugar, 1 gram of carbs!! WAY better than Coors light but not as tasty as Bud Lite Lime - BUT you can have two for the caloric price of one BLL = approx. 120 cals!

    I switched to Miller 64 and Bud Select 55. I have to put lemon and lime in them... and then they taste MUCH better.... :drinker:
    (Miller 64 has 2.4 carbs and Bud Select 55 has 1.9.)

    Short answer- No

    Long answer- Try Guinness. Light as a Bud Light, but has at least SOME taste.

    I do not drink beer often, but here lately I have drank Michelob Ultra a few times. I think it has 95 cal.

    The lowest I've seen is Labatt 52. It all tastes pretty ick compared to good beer (which I love!), but I'll drink one occasionally. To me a 52 calorie beer is just as barely-beer-y as any light beer with 100+ calories, so these do the job for me.

    Natural Light, Busch Light, Mich Ultra, Budweiser Select, and Miller Lite, and Yuengling Light (good luck finding Yuengling light, I can't find it anywhere) are all under 100 calories.

    I've taken to adding lime to my beers to give it more taste...I'm usually a New Castle or Magic Hat kinda girl, but those are 143-150 calories a piece! I still splurge on one every now and then.

    http://www.beer100.com/beercalories.htm is a great reference.

    Miller 64. It is okay while I'm trying to shed some pounds but I don't think I can continue drinking these after reaching my goal weight. I plan on going back to my Irish beers and just drinking less. :drinker:

    Guinness 12oz 125calories
    Smithwicks (bottle) 150calories
    Harp (bottle) 153calories

    I'd rather drink one good beer compared to two low cal beers.

    Same here. Rather sacrifice the calories for good flavor!

    If your an IPA fan, Bitter American is yummy and for 150 calories its a close enough replacement for the time being!

    Bud Select 55 IS low calorie, but it tastes like metal flavored water. Hell, when I am planning on marathon drinking, I will admit that it's worth it. However, if I'm sticking to a six pack for the night, I'm okay with more calories for taste.

    Yes, I marathon drink.
