Refreshments in a Glass ? Attention Calorie Trap! | My Jogstyle

Product Information

Whether eating or drinking ? calorie traps are lurking everywhere. While many kinds of food have already been exposed as diet-enemies, beverages increase our calorie count almost without us noticing it. Soft drinks, beer, wine and cocktails are especially delicious on hot days, but unfortunately threaten our dream weight.

Party drinks and other refreshments with calorie guarantee

Refreshing and fruity ? nothing is better to quench thirst on hot summer days than a big sip of ice-cold soda. But with high sugar content and 50 kcal per 3.5 fl. oz., the cool drinks fail to support the dream weight. Not surprisingly, coke and sprite are leading the calorie table. Depending on the manufacturer, up to 60 kcal per 3.5 fl. oz. can strain the figure. Juices don?t improve the statistics. Grape juice, with 70 to 80 kcal per 3.5 fl. oz., or the popular orange and apple juices, with approximately 50 kcal, are no lightweights either.

The heavy weights among drinkable calorie traps are definitely alcoholic beverages. With about 110 kcal per 9 fl. oz., beer causes more extra pounds than we like. Wine increases the calorie count even faster. 7 fl. oz. of red wine has 150 kcal; white wine provides 160 kcal. Cocktails are the icing which top the calorie cake. Colourful and delicious, often decorated with fruits, these tasty calorie bombs belong at every party. Depending on ingredients and mixture, cocktail fans have to expect up to 150 kcal per 3.5 fl. oz.

The healthy, calorie-conscious path to your dream weight

A greater awareness of calories helps to maintain the slim summer figure and supports a healthy lifestyle. Regarding beverages, that means paying attention to the calorie content. If you like juice, choose instead to drink the low-calorie alternative grapefruit juice or the vegetable-variations carrot and tomato juice, which contain less than 25 kcal per 3.5 fl. oz. But in general, a well-balanced weight management considers both calorie intake and calories burned. Supporting devices like the CaloriScan help you along the weight loss path. With the small, handy calorie counter, everybody can keep track of their individual data and quickly know if their upcoming cocktail night should be postponed.
