I'm trying to be less of a lardarse and find it fairly easy to eat little/well.

However, I have a little weakness..........

I'm curious to know how many calories there are in a pint (Guiness or bitter)

It calorie-tastic I'm afriad :(

It's famous for having so many calories and other stuff that you can actually live on it. A friends uncle actually did! No food at all!!

It's less than I thought.
If I don't eat anything I'm allowed 10 pints a day :thumbs:

I was actually joking before until I realised that since Sunday I have consumed about 20 pints of water (good), 3 egg salad sandwiches (good), about 20 pints of coffee (kind of bad but I pass out without it), one bacon and egg butty (erm), 3 small portions of chips and gravy (I know, but it's a Yorkshire thing) and some 30 pints of the other, and appear to have lost 2kgs

:cool: but :confused:

I am on the same lines as Jon in the being-less-of-a-lardarse, but this time I'm not on the points thing, but some low-fat soups and sallads mainly for the starters, and already lost 2kgs this week. Yeah I know it's mostly just fluids but anyway. ;)

I think I'm gonna look into the points stuff again after I run out of the soups (chicken and shrimp soup :)).. But tonight I'm gonna have a blast at a subcontractors summer party, eating and drinking whatever I wish, after a hard week of no beer or nothing good to eat. Oh, well actually I had a Kit Kat bar, but it was only one, so that doesn't count, right? :)

The bad thing about weight loss is that it's really hard to keep the kilos away. Them buggers always seem to come back sooner or later.. ;)

Is lager beer better in terms of calories than Guinness? I remember reading that it actually has less calories per volume than non-fat milk. :cool: I know I'll drink beer any day rather than milk. :thumbs:
