Calories & Macros in Beer

Calories in any amount of Beer

Weigh your portion and type it in, in grams or ounces; it starts at 1 can (12 oz) (356 g). Every value scales from the USDA figures per 100 g, so 250 g has two and a half times the calories of 100 g.

Beer nutrition facts per 100 g

% Daily Value is how much 100 g contributes to the FDA Daily Values for adults and children 4 years and older, the figures on US nutrition labels; a dash means there is no Daily Value for that nutrient. "Not reported" means USDA has no measurement for this food, not that it contains none.

• Net carbs are total carbohydrate minus fiber: 3.6 g − 0 g = 3.6 g per 100 g. Low-carb plans usually count these.
• Protein per 100 kcal compares how much protein each food gives for the same calories: Beer gives 1.1 g.
• Energy density is calories per gram. At 0.43 kcal/g, Beer is very low on the CDC's scale (very low below 0.6, low to 1.5, medium to 4, high above 4); lower-density foods give a larger portion for the same calories.

Logging Beer: what to know

This is regular beer of all types, so one entry stands in for lagers, ales and everything between. Energy is 43 kcal per 100 g, and the 3.9 g of alcohol in every 100 g is part of that figure. A can is 356 g, and craft or strong beers can differ a good deal from this average, so check the label.
