I need tips on calories?

[Anonymous]

Before you ask the legal age to drink were I am is 18 my age! OK so lately I have been healthy eating, and I got invited to one of my close friends party's. Only I'm scared that once I start drinking I will go back to my rubbish eating habits. I have to go though cause she is a close friend. Do you think one day will mess up plans I have been exercising regularly too. I was thinking since there are a lot of calories in drink and I don't want to over my limit I should skip my dinner? Then I wouldn't feel guilty about taking in too many? Any advice sorry this is long.

Don't skip dinner, you'll end up hammered and acting foolish. Eat a healthy meal and get some exercise that day. Take some vitamin b before drinking. You can make up a day of indulgence over the course of several days ... you don't have to binge and skimp to make a healthy, rounded routine. That way doesn't work very well. If you're going to indulge one night (be it drink or dessert or holiday food), make up for it by adding 15 minutes of exercise for a few days and eating lots of fruits and veggies. For instance, skip meat one night or eat fish instead. Or don't eat bread a few nights and have an extra serving of veggies instead. Etc. Diet is all about moderation and balance.

Just because you go over your calories one day doesn't mean that you'll gain 20 pounds, or even 5. If you're drinking like that every single day, that's a different story. You should be fine.

Don't skip meals though. Drinking on an empty stomach will make you get drunk easier.

don't skip food, that will mean you get drunk faster, as well as slowing your metabolism down. if you're that worried, can you just not drink? if you do want to drink but are worried about the calories, avoid sugar heavy drinks (WKD, for example) and don't mix with full fat soft drinks (vodka and regular coke, for example). one day shouldn't make a huge difference, but if you're worried just do an extra 30 minutes exercise the day after.

Don't skip your dinner, skip drinking. Or only have one.

Um well if you are worried about drinking the simple answer seems to be not to drink?
