Can someone explain this to me?
whiskey isn't sweet because all the sugars have been fermented
>>37524724
So it does have carbs but those aren't included in the nutritional information?
7 calories per gram of alcohol
>>37524734
No, dude. Alcohol has calories, it's not a carb, fat, or protein.
>>37524735
How do you even measure this, don't you have to burn up the whiskey to find out how many calories it has?
>>37524735
>>37524751
Oh fuck. Like how fire isn't a solid gas or liquid.
Is 7 cal/gram the rule of thumb for all alcohol? But then again it will be different for wine that is 14% and whiskey that is 43%...
>>37524761
you only count the grams of alcohol in them, theyre not 100% alcohol
I thought alcohol was actually a separate macronutrient than carb/fat/brotein. But then again, I could be retarded.
>>37524709
They do have carbs and shit but the amount they have is very low and the FDA allows them to put 0%
>>37524771
>But then again, I could be retarded.
Well you're/we're on /fit/ so that's a safe bet.
But as >>37524751 said, well, what you said.
>>37524771
Nah, you're right
>>37524769
How do I find that?
For example, if I pour 100ml of whiskey that is 50 proof, I just say 50x7?
>>37524802
Exacto
>>37524811
Aylmao.
But what about the remaining 50? Just ignore it, or?
>>37524824
its water basically, no calories
>>37524802
>>37524811
actually the % is by volume, not weight, but its a good estimate
>>37524824
it's mostly water and spices
>gram
>liquid
shit, i'm confused
>>37524841
Same breh.
But 1 gram and 1 ml are about the same in weight. 1ml = 1.03g
>>37524841
we were simplyfing, 10ml of alcohol is 8grams, so a 50% alcohol whiskey has 50 ml = 40 grams, which equals 280 calories
>>37524853
>>37524862
>>37524853
"one standard drink or "unit" of alcohol is defined as 10 mL or 8 g of pure alcohol."
so if like
i go drink a ton of fireball
will it ruin my cut
>>37524883
alcohol has more calories per weight than protein and carbs, slightly less than fat
>>37524889
protein and carbs = 4 calories per gram
alcohol = 7 calories per gram
fat = 9 calories per gram
>>37524883
kek why'd i lose to this
>>37524883
a problem with alcoholics is that by drinking not too much, they get all their daily calories without any nutrients, so they don't get hungry or eat food but don't starve to death. makes them fat instead
>>37524900
>pure ethanol
>not a real drink
Whoever made that chart is never gonna make it.
>>37524911
most alcoholics are on the skinny to severely skinny side actually
>>37524924
No they're not.
>>37524924
not to my experience, I work at a hospital and we get em quite overweight, drinking 4 bottles of wine a day keeps em at at least 3000kcal
>>37524802
Are you retarded? You divide the proof by 2 to get the percent. 50 proof is 25%. 25% of 100mL is 25ml. 25x7 is 175 calories.
As for the whiskey in the picture, it's in grams, not mL. Pure aclohol is lighter than water, about 8g per 10mL. Since that whiskey is 86 proof, 43% is aclohol, leaving 57% of water (which has no calories). In 100g, you have 43g that are caloric (the 0.1g of sugar is negligible). 43g/8g is 5.375, and that times 10mL is 53.75ml. That times 7 calories is 376.25 calories.
And that is how many calories are in your 100g of whiskey.
Of course, that's only if the distilling process was perfect, which it rarely is. Even with a set %, some of that will always have chemical impurities, like formaldehyde. And alcohol evaporates incredibly fast, which will play a part in stages in the process like transfers and bottling. What you have in a bottle of 43% might be closer to 35-38%. 376.25 calories per 100g would only be found in the perfectly distilled, perfectly bottled batch of whiskey.

I thought proof meant percent pls no bully
>>37524941
that's because they are drinking wine
alkies who default to beer tend to be fat. liquor, nah. when i drank like 24/7 for 2 years i was pretty skinny. no muscle tho. i didn't drink a sip of beer. mostly god-awful bottom shelf rum and maybe some wine every once and a while.
>>37524900
What an excellent graphic!
I pretty much switched to only vodka + diet soda these days... which sucks because I love beer. The lower calorie beers tend to be shitty macrobrew lagers and they're still often like 10-20 calories higher than just an equivalent serving of hard alcohol.
Also sucks because I used to brew beer with my dad and I feel kind of shitty just making these huge batches of beer and then leaving him to drink all of it... he kinda drinks enough as it is.
Alcohol isn't a fat, protein, or carb, and the caloric energy it has can not be stored by the human body. Your body will use up the calories in the alcohol before breaking down and utilizing the calories of the food in your stomach, or tapping into your body's fat deposits to keep the motor running.
This is also why it's super easy to gain weight while drinking. That entire pizza you ate at chad's party, where you failed to smash Emily, is gonna get digested and stored right in your gut/ass.
>>37524709
alcohol is a macronutrient, 7kcal/gram or something, they just haven't listed it
>>37524709
alcohol contains energy. it's not a carbohydrate or a fat or a protein. it's an alcohol
Saw some friends of the family for the first time in five weeks today. Two of them said I was looking fit (separate of each other.) They didn't make a big deal of it just kind of in passing... the fact they didn't make a big deal of it makes it seem even more real.
What's your Saturday success /fit/?
