Coach's take: is Tequila healthy?

  • ●Most of the calories in Tequila come from the alcohol itself (about 7 kcal per gram), not from protein, carbs or fat. It has 231 kcal per 100 g.
  • ●Alcohol calories don't fill you up, and your body burns alcohol before fat. On a fat-loss diet, keep drinks occasional and count every one. 1 shot (30 ml ≈ 28 g) adds 65 kcal.
  • ●It's low in protein (0 g in 1 shot (30 ml ≈ 28 g)), so if you're building muscle, pair it with dal, paneer, curd, eggs or chicken.

To burn it off: 1 shot (30 ml ≈ 28 g) (65 kcal) takes about 13 min of brisk walking or 6 min of running for a 70 kg adult.
