  1. Beer (Lager)

This beer has 43 kcal per 100 g. A 500 ml bottle packs ~215 kcal — easy to underestimate across an evening. The combined meta-analysis of 599,912 drinkers (Wood et al., Lancet 2018) found life expectancy drops above ~100 g alcohol per week.

About this food

How should I track Beer (Lager)?

Liquid calories from Beer (Lager) are easy to overlook because drinks do not trigger the same fullness signals as solid food. A meta-analysis (Wehling & Lusher, Am J Clin Nutr 2021) confirmed that people underreport beverage intake more than solid food. Most people pour 30–50% more than the label serving size without realizing it. Use a kitchen scale to weigh your glass or bottle once — you will know your exact pour going forward. This one calibration step can save you from hundreds of untracked calories per week.
