Am I the only one to have gained a few pounds after 1 year in Ontario? How many calories are there in beer - I mean it's liquid isn't it?

After a year of jumbo portions, TH dougnuts, KFC's, Dairy Queen and bread with everything i'm surprised I'm not twice the size I was last year. None the less i'm now on a diet.

How have you guys got on in controlling your weight with all this hi carb junk food around. When I moved here from France my Canadian friends did warn me about junk food - but i'm surprized to see so few very overweight people in Canada.

Perhaps people must be exercising better self control than me. The guys in work just went to the usual Friday lunch, and I didn't go. I just couldn't think of a place to go which didn't serve beer and fries!

I'm not entirely sure how many calories there are in a bottle. A quick recce in my garage revealed no calorie info. I do, however, know that Blue makes me fart like a bastard.

I don't think I needed to know that.

And they smell.

Aint Google wonderful.

Beer Alcohol and Calories

200 bloody brands and Blue aint one of them.

But I would guess about 45 - 50 calories per 100 ml.

Edit: An even better list. http://www.realbeer.com/edu/health/calories.php states Labatt Blue contains 153 calories.

So do bastards fart more than legitimate people.

fart bastards do.

Is that a typo or did you really mean fart.

faht, surely?

or phaht?

All of which just goes to prove that beer is way better for you than food. Have you seen how many calories there are in Krispy Kreme's?

or phart.

Sign me up for one of these.
Calories in Krispy Kreme chocolate iced cream filled donut: 350

with one of these to wash it down.
Calories in Krispy Kreme frozen latee blend: 740

Hmmm so 16 bottles of Blue represents my entire recommended daily calorie intake, and 2 bottles of Blue contain about the same number of calories as a Big Mac. When one combines the Big Mac and the bottles of Blue the results are self evident.

...and as for the Krispy Cremes!

Seriously, how do you folks coming over here from Europe find the food? How do you manage your weight?

It is not obligatory, even for immigrants, to live on a diet of Big Mac, KK and Blue. Supermarkets here sell stuff like vegetables, fruit and fish.
