You can enjoy a festive drink this season without committing diet sabotage, but take care – if you’re not precise when you pour your drink, it may pack far more calories than you’d planned. Many people consider one cocktail to be a glassful, regardless of how many ounces that glass contains. Dieticians and government sources, on the other hand, use standard sizes to estimate calorie counts – so one woman’s single drink may be equivalent of two or three standard size ones. This means filling your glass to the brim can add hundreds of calories. In weight-loss terms: you’d have to trek for an hour on the treadmill to kiss those extra ounces of Margarita goodbye. So decide how many calories you’re willing to spend on a cocktail and how much that means you can have. Then, if a friend pours your drink, ask her to stop at that target amount like half a glass.
For example:
Irish cream – Should be: 1 ½ oz; Your pour: 3 oz; Diet damage: 150 extra calories
Red wine – Should be: 5 oz; Your pour: 10 oz; Diet damage: 125 extra calories
Frozen Margarita – Should be: 8 oz; Your pour: 12 oz; Diet damage: 94 extra calories
Cosmopolitan – Should be: 2 ½ oz; Your pour: 7 oz; Diet damage: 270 extra calories
