Alcohol: empty calories

Alcohol is 7 kcal per gram with zero nutrition. Enter what you drank and see the total empty calories, plus how many minutes of running or cycling that evening costs.

Why "empty"

Alcohol calories carry no nutrients, do not fill you up and build nothing. The body treats ethanol as a toxin and burns it first, putting fat loss on hold in the meantime. Four Friday beers are, calorically, an extra meal; just without the meal.
