Suns out, drinks out 🥂
Now that the British summer is finally here, it goes without saying that the majority of us will want to head straight to a beer garden or outside for a bbq and a G&T 🍺
Don’t get me wrong, this is completely fine and it’s great to see everyone enjoying the hot weather ☀️
However, if you’ve got a aesthetic goals then the consumption of alcohol can greatly hinder this. So a few things to bear in mind:
🧉Just like anything (except water) alcohol contains calories
🍹If you’re aiming to stick within a certain calorie goal then the alcohol you consume will need to be tracked into your daily calories
🍸Whilst calories are calories, the nutritional value of alcohol is practically zero, so I would advise not using up all your calories in the day with it!
🥃 Drinking all alcohol in excess can greatly effect you the next day and in turn, your training will likely not be as productive
🥂 For the lower calorie alcohol options, stick to clear spirits with a diet mixer (around 70cals for a single shot) or a glass of Prosecco (around 90 cals for a glass)
The main thing to remember here is everything in moderation 😁
