If you’re the sort who can make the investment of time
and effort to get into great shape, your willpower will probably
help you resist most of the belly-softening foods and drinks
that come your way, most of the time.
But sometimes you just have to share a few tall, cold ones
with your buddies, or dig a spoon into a tasty chocolate or
creamy one with your lady friend.
Keeping those special occasions in mind, here is a listing
of nutritional information for some of the beers and desserts
that you might encounter. If you can’t find them on
the shelves, feel free to choose a healthy substitution.
BEERS
We can’t offer the nutritional breakdown on every single
one of the gazillion big-brewery domestics, microbrews, and
imports that you can find throughout this fine country and
the world. But we can offer nutritional data on some of the
brands that you’re likely to encounter.

work.
