Some guy in one of my classes today said one beer has the same nutritional value as one pork chop. In other words, if you drink five beers, it’s like eating five pork chops, which is why beer makes you fat. Has anyone else ever heard this? Is it an urban legend or is it legitimate?
Not all the Calories in beer come from carbohydrates. I would guess about half of the Calories in beer come from alcohol. Carbohydrates have about 4 Calories per gram, and alcohol has about 7.
