I stick with Michelo Ultra (though I too prefer a good craft beer), since it is both low calorie and low carb (and my diet success depends on keeping carbs under 70 grams). I pre-plan for it and usually likewise plan for a light high protein snack (e.g., few small cubes of cheddar cheese) to go with it to make sure I don't…
