Hi

I have just tried the Sainsburys and Tesco's web site and neither give any dietry information for Stella larger. I have looked for other largers and came up with this.

Sainsbury's Biere Des Moulins De Flandres Lager 24 x 25cl

Nutrition
per 100 ml per serving
Energy (kJ) 143.80kj 359.50kj
Energy (kcal) 34.40kcal 86.00kcal
Available Carbohydrate 3.00g 7.50g
Alcohol 3.20g 8.00g


Sainsbury's Cerveza Spanish Lager, Spanish 10 x 25cl

Nutrition
PER 100ML STANDARD SERVING ???????
Energy (kJ) 174.30kj 43.72kj
Energy (kcal) 41.70kcal 10.46kcal
Available Carbohydrate 3.60g 0.90g
of which - Sugars 3.60g 0.90g
Alcohol 3.90g 0.98g

This second one is confusing, perhaps the numbers are the wrong way round?

Whilst not a beer or larger drinker I think that the amount of carbs seem to depend upon the amount of sugar added and it is possible that the taste in the states is very different to in the UK. Have a look at the cans of Stella and see if they contain the relevent information, otherwise that looks around 10-15 a pint, if I've done my sums correctly.

Anne, I must thank you for your speedy reply! You're spot on with this Moulins de Flandres... this is Sainbury's version of Stella (both Belgian) and they taste very similar. However, Im sorry for being thick, but i dont understand what these 2 figures are... is it 3 or 7.5 g for 100ml? Why are they showing 2 figures?

the first is for 100 ml and the second is for 250 ml



all books say steer clear of beer unless it is light beer

It ain't as fun as beer...or as tasty as mixed drinks or cocktails- but I ALWAYS have a drink at the pub...

Good ol' Vodka & Diet Coke.

Never stalled me yet. And after a few, you still feel tipsy!

That's good news, Kellie!
I'd have thought voddy would have carbs as it's made from potatoes, but i just checked it on FitDay and it said -0-!!!

You are right, Vodka and pure spirits do not have any carbs.

However, they do have lots of alcohol and that is calories. Alcohol not only dehydrates you, but is also a natural poison to the body and so it is expelled first, along with lots of water. That is why its is important to drink water when you have been out drinking to prevent you getting a hangover.

Aren't I a killjoy? Alcohol in moderation is fine, but it does slow some people down.

Hope this list of carb counts I knocked up some time back may help:

Hi,
I've been low-carbing for 7 weeks now.
Had my first alcoholic drink since starting this WOE last night at a surprise b-day party. I was sh**faced after just one glass of white wine...!!!
Very Bizarre...(and cheap !)
