Ditch the margarita at happy hour (which can pack a whopping 500 calories) and opt for tequila over ice with lime, instead. You’ll save nearly 400 “empty” calories from the sugary margarita mix.
More of a beer drinker? Save up to 100 calories by switching from regular beer to the light version. Over the course of a few drinks, that can be a big savings. Just don’t eat too many complimentary peanuts while sitting at the bar. One ounce — about a handful — of roasted nuts averages 165 calories.
