Alcohol Calories Calculator
The calories in what you drink, drawn against a day’s food so the number means something. No verdict attached.
That averages 214 calories a day, which is % of a 2,000-calorie day.
What you drink, and how often
Two controls. The reading above moves as you touch them.
What a year of it matches
The same energy, counted in things that have a published figure on the back of the packet.
| The thing | Each | Your year comes to |
|---|---|---|
| Big Mac | 563 kcal each | 139 |
| Slice of pizza | 285 kcal each | 274 |
| Doughnut | 250 kcal each | 312 |
| Chocolate bar | 229 kcal each | 341 |
| An hour of running | 600 kcal burned | 130 |
| A day of food | 2,000 kcal a day | 39 |
If none of it were burned off
Straight arithmetic at 3,500 calories to the pound, which is what that figure is for.
| Over | Comes to |
|---|---|
| 6 months | 11.1 lbs |
| 1 year | 22.3 lbs |
| 5 years | 111.4 lbs |
Actual weight gain depends on your overall diet, metabolism, and activity level. These figures show the caloric potential if excess calories were stored as fat.
Read the other way round, the same arithmetic is what stopping is worth: 6,500 calories a month, or 22.3 lbs of stored calories over a year, without changing a single thing about what you eat.
Halving is worth half of it, which is the more common outcome and the easier one to hold. Alternating one for one is the mechanism most people find first, and the savings calculator runs the same sum in money.
