Calories when cooking with beer.
Posted: Thu Sep 15, 2011 7:53 am
I am conscious about calories when I cook and drink. I have lost 70 pounds since April and still have some more to go. I have done all this while still being able to enjoy the foods and beers that I love. I am, however, a newbie when it comes to cooking with beer.
I have a bunch of homebrew I need to use up to get some free bottles for my next batch so I decided I'll cook with some of it. I know how to roughly calculate calories in homebrew, and I know most of the calories in beer come from the alcohol. However, when you cook with beer, the alcohol burns off, so my question is thus:
How can I approximate the amount of calories I am getting from my beer when cooking with it, AFTER the alcohol is burned off?
