Wasted Calories

Hey Cougs,
I want to take some time to ask you about what you did this weekend? Did you workout this weekend? How many of you had a mix drink? Or even a beer? While you were drinking that were you thinking about how many calories you were drinking? If not it is something you should start thinking about. Here is a little exercise you and practice while calculating only the drinks and exercise you did this week/weekend/ or even day.

Calculate the calories you burned:

And now calculate your wasted (on drinking) calories:

Now subtract, I was very surprised to see that all the working out I did this week was easily undid by only a few drinks. Next time you take a drink think about not only the negative effects on your health but also think about your waist line.

Or look at a list of calories for different types of beer:
