Most of us like to have a beer every now and then. But for those of us who are on a low calorie diet, we need to know the calories in beer if we are going to factor them into our diet. How many calories in a beer varies from brand to brand, and the calories in beer are also heavily influenced by the alcohol content of the beer. Beers that are “light” in alcohol tend to have lower calories as well. The table below shows the calories in regular strength beer:

Calories in Light Beer

This list shows the light beer calories for a generic range of light beers. Light beer has about 50% less calories than normal beer, mainly because of the reduced quantity of alcohol in the beverage. Don’t let the name “light beer” fool you though: There are still plenty of calories in light beer. Unlike some light or diet sodas, which contain virtually no calories, light beer still contains enough calories to be concerned with, particularly if you are trying to lose a few pounds.

Bud Light Calories

‘Bud Light” is one of the most popular domestic beers in the USA. With 4.2% alcohol content, Bud Light still contains plenty of calories however, and if you are on a diet of any sort it is good to know the calories in Bud Light. Below we have listed the calories in Bud Light of two sizes, a 100ml measurement, and also a 12fl oz can (a common size for a Bud).

Remember that beer calories do add up, so if you have one beer, the calories it adds to your diet may not be significant, but if you go through a 6 pack for example, you will have consumed a much higher amount of calories. Alcohol is something that should always be consumed in moderation, not just from the perspective of avoiding excessive calories, but also from a general health point of view as well.
