Beware Holiday Cheer: Sips Add Up!

sips-for-jeni-blog

By Nutritionist Blogger Jeni Tackett, RD, LD

As we attend parties this holiday, let’s be mindful about what we drink. Little sips can add up fast!

Alcohol contributes calories to our diet AND decreases our judgment … causing us to eat more.

My advice: If you are going to drink alcohol, opt for a lower calorie option such as light beer or wine.

Drink a glass of water after you drink an alcoholic beverage to reduce your overall intake.

And remember – as you look at the calorie counts for typically-sized beverage servings below – that 3500 calories = 1 pound of weight gained. Eggnog alone could do it by New Year’s!

    Man, eggnog is crazy though! 350 calories per serving? Yikes!
