Michelob Ultra Calories: A Low-Calorie Beer?
The name “michelob” means “little helper.” The first beer brewed with the aid of yeast was Michelob in 1844. Today it is one of the most popular beers worldwide. It contains only 4 calories per 12 ounce serving (about 1/2 gram). That’s less than half a teaspoon! You might think that such a low calorie beer would be too weak, but it actually tastes great.
In fact, some people even like drinking them because they are so mild. They don’t have much alcohol content and no caffeine either. The reason why people drink them is because they are very convenient to make at home.
Some people use them instead of soda pop or fruit juice drinks when traveling long distances.
One of the main reasons why people drink them is because they are not calorie rich. One pint of Michelob Ultra contains only 2 calories! That’s just like a glass of water!
If you want to lose weight, then you should definitely try these low-calorie beers.
But what if I already eat healthy foods? Shouldn’t I still choose a low-calorie beer?
Yes, but it won’t taste good.
Do you eat healthy foods? Then why not drink a beer that contains the same amount of calories as a slice of apple pie?
(about 150 calories). That’s why many people prefer to drink low-calorie beers.
However, some people don’t really like the taste and feel that they have a chemical after-taste. But the thing is, you can get used to almost anything in a couple of weeks. In fact, you might even get addicted to them.
So are low-calorie beers worth it?
It all comes down to personal preference. If you’re trying to watch your calorie intake, then low-calorie beers might be something for you. Then again, they might not.
What about you? What do you think about low-calorie beers? Do you like them or do you hate them?
