Recently I saw commercial for Michelob Ultra, advertised as a "low carb" beer. Last night I checked it out in the store: 95 calories... 0.0g fat ... 2.6 carbs ... 0.6 protiens. Now help me out here, because that is not adding up for me.

2.6 carbs and 0.6 protiens add up to 12.8 calories. No fat, so no fat calories. How in the world are they accounting for the remaining 82.2 calories???

I like a beer once or twice a month -- nothing major, but I don't want to be sucking down a boatload of hidden carbs. Anyone got some thoughts or data on this?

I can't speak to the counts...but I did have one last weekend. As a former beer drinker, I thought it tasted like water with essence of beer. But all in all, not bad. I'd drink it again.

Here's another thread about this...you might find your answer in these pages...

I believe alcohol accounts for the extra calories.

What Donald said. I tried it... watery beer. Im pretty sure in the summer it would be a nice refresher on a hot day.
