Beers

MGD 64

64 calories
2 g carbohydrates
2.8% alcohol


It’s right on the bottle: Only 64 calories. And it claims the number one spot over Beck’s Premier Light because it’s a little lower in alcohol content. And that’s the politically correct choice, right?




Michelob Ultra

95 calories
3 g carbohydrates
4.2% alcohol



Michelob was one of the first to market a “low-carb” beer. But here’s a secret: Almost all the low-calorie brews are relatively close in carb count. (Sam Adams Light and Yuengling Lager Light are the notable exceptions.) Just look at the label. Which is exactly what you should be doing for anything you eat and drink.


Guinness Draught

126 calories
10 g carbohydrates
4% alcohol


Perhaps the most surprising beer on this list. The great taste of Guinness but with a calorie-count in the range of a light beer.
