This vs That - Glass of wine versus a bottle of wine
But wine is low in carbs!
Hate to break it to you, but every gram of alcohol in your drinks provides 7kcal.
A whole bottle of wine contains around 80g of alcohol.
Which means that if you regularly are drinking a bottle of wine alongside your normal daily food intake, you're adding an extra 500kcal or more to your energy intake.
🍷🍷🍷
Energy wise, drinking 1 bottle (3 glasses) equates to eating
🍫100g chocolate
🍟 100g packet potato chips/crisps
🧀120g cheddar cheese
🍞7 slices of bread
🍌6 bananas
🥚7 eggs
🥦2kg broccoli
🥕1.5kg carrots
That doesn't mean you have to totally cut alcohol out (unless you want to).
It's all about being more mindful and aware of how much and how often you're drinking to make smarter choices more consistently.
Small changes make a big difference.
