Regular lager beer — ~150 kcal per 12 oz.

Light beers are ~100 kcal/12oz. IPAs and craft beers often 200–250. Track liquid calories carefully — easy to forget.

Best for

  • tracking liquids that people forget and then “do not know why” calories rose

Watch out

  • milk, juice, alcohol, and “healthy” smoothies hiding more energy than the solid meal
  • zero-cal labels vs real barista drinks

How to log it

Log the full drink size, not sips. 12 oz can/bottle (~355g) is the practical unit in the app.

Where it fits the day

Fits when you want the liquid calories visible. If it is water, still useful as a habit check — but do not stress zero-cal entries.
