Beer is high in calories, so 1 can should not exceed the standard every day.

"It's too hot! Have a beer to cool off! Every hot summer, many people drink beer to quench their thirst, but nutritionists warn that beer is high in calories. Based on the calculation of ordinary beer in 330ml small cans, adult women should not exceed 1 can every day, and boys should not exceed 2 cans to avoid fat accumulation. The number of scales has also increased rapidly with the sales performance of beer manufacturers.

Beer is high in calories, said nutritionist Huang Peiru. Women are limited to 1 can per day, while men do not exceed 2 cans. (Photography/Huang Zhiwen) The calorie of a can of beer exceeds 100 calories, and the taste of fruit is as high as 200 calories.

Huang Peiru, a nutritionist in the Nutrition Room of Miaoli Daqian Hospital, said that beer belongs to oily food in nutritional classification, and the calorie per gram of pure alcohol is 7 calories. If calculated according to the heat formula of "capacity (ml)x alcohol concentration (%) x7 calories", the heat of a can of 330ml beer with 4.5% alcohol concentration in the workshop is 103.95 calories; If the beer has the same capacity, the alcohol concentration is 5%, and the calorie is 1 15.5 kcal, which is almost close to 140 kcal of half a bowl of white rice.

What is even more frightening is that in recent years, in order to attract the favor of women, beer manufacturers have continuously introduced fruit beer with low alcohol concentration but sweet taste. The unique flavor of these fruit beers comes from different proportions of fruit juice and fructose. Although the fructose content is not clearly marked on some bottles, nutritionists estimate that a single can of 330ml of fruit beer, such as pineapple, mango and grape, with a juice concentration of 5% is about 130 calories. Some fruit beer with a juice concentration of 9% may contain as many as 200 calories per can.

How many calories do you drink when beer is high?

Beer is cold and cold, but it hides the risk of obesity. How much to drink every day is the problem of excessive calories?

Huang Peiru, a nutritionist, said that the dietary guidelines suggested that normal men should not consume more than 2 alcohol equivalents per day, and girls should not consume more than 1. The so-called "alcohol equivalent" is the weight of pure alcohol obtained after "liquid volume x alcohol concentration", and each alcohol equivalent is 15g. Based on this calculation, the alcohol weight of a can of 330ml beer with an alcohol concentration of 4.5% is 14.85g, which is close to 1 alcohol equivalent, that is to say, adult women should not drink more than 65,438+every day.

Cold beer+appetizer accelerates fat accumulation

In addition to the high calorie of beer, nutritionist Huang Peiru specially reminded that people like to drink with barbecue and fried snacks, but these side dishes are generally high in calories. In the case of less food and wine, but lack of high-fiber fruits and vegetables, the stomach will accelerate the absorption of food fat and sugar, and it is easier to accumulate calories and fat.

If a woman drinks a can of 330ml ordinary beer with a plate of dried fish and peanuts, the total calorie intake is about 500 calories. Maybe she hasn't filled her stomach yet, the calorie is already one-third of 1500 calories a day, and she needs to jog at a speed of 8 kilometers per hour 1 hour to consume it. In order to avoid obesity and the three high diseases that may follow, people should drink beer to cool off the heat.
