michalob ultra lo carb beer?

[sk*]

I don't get it, alcohol has carbs which aren't from protein, fats, or carbs but alcohol itself??? That's news to me, but just more reason not to drink.

[DoseOfTruth]

carbohydrates = 4 calories per gram

protein = 4 calories per gram

fat = 9 calories per gram

alcohol = 7 calories per gram.

if you look on any beer the protein, fat and carbs won't add up to the actual calories because the FDA does not require the alcohol grams be listed on the nutritional label.

beers higher in alcohol are obviously higher in calories.

mich ultra is not a bad choice if dieting and you MUST drink.

Good post doseoftruth

They use the same tactics with protein bars...Glycerin is considered an Alcohol and not included in Calories.

I was looking at a coors lite can and it had 4 grams of carbs and 100 calories--so lo carb beer isnt that big of a difference.
