FINE LEAN BEER
If you're starting a new diet, you may be considering cutting back on alcohol. But beer can still be a part of your dietary routine. Light beers, in particular, are brewed to naturally cut out most calories and carbs — while some of the best low-calorie beers are still packed with unique flavors, despite the absence of calories and carbs.

Age, gender, physical activity level, and body size – these all have an impact on the amount of calories our bodies need to keep going.
Active people, like those who exercise regularly, would require more calories than someone who is mostly desk-bound.
