What's one easy way to cut 100's of calories out of your daily calorie count?
Simply watch what you drink!
Liquid calories can be a sneaky little diet/weight loss sabotager! You can easily drink over 200 calories per day. You've got your morning cup of joe (with cream & sugar if you're like me!), sweet tea, a glass of wine to relax, and maybe a soda to splurge...
Most beverage calorie count is based on 8oz - These little cans are 8oz!
We rarely drink only 8oz...
Sweet Tea: 70 Calories per 8oz
Mug Rootbeer: 100 Calories per 8oz
Arbor Mist Blackberry Merlot: 160 Calories per 8oz
Coffee Creamer: 35 Calories per 1 tbsp
Now let's add this up to a "daily average" -
You wake up and have your morning coffee (which can easily add up to 150 calories once you add cream and sugar) so that's 130 Calories (optimistically). Now, let's say you have some sweet tea with your lunch (as Texan's often do) so that's an extra 140 Calories (since we know we aren't just drinking 8oz!) Later, you have a glass of wine either with dinner, or after, to wind down so that's 160 Calories.
Total liquid calorie count - 430 Calories

My secret to cutting the calories without even noticing -
Flavored carbonated water! (Tastes like Cherry 7up to me!)
Zero - No Calories - No Sugar - No Carbs - No Sodium - Zero
Did you know???
That drinking an 8oz glass of ice cold water actually causes you to burn calories? The work your body does to adjust the temperature of the water after you drink it burns calories! If you have your recommended 8 glasses of ice cold water a day - you can burn about 70 Calories per day doing nothing but drinking the water!
That makes water like a negative Calorie drink!
