It’s a very common question, especially when you are trying to balance social events with your health goals. The short answer is: Yes, it does.
🍺 The Nutritional Breakdown
Whether it is alcoholic or non-alcoholic, beer contains energy that will shift your body out of its fasted state.
Regular Beer: Contains approximately 43 calories per 100 ml.
Non-Alcoholic Beer: Contains approximately 37 calories per 100 ml.
Beyond just the calories, beer is primarily made from refined carbohydrates. Consuming these carbs triggers an insulin response, which immediately ends your fast and pauses the fat-burning process.
🕒 When Can I Have It?
Don't worry—you don't have to give up your favorite drink entirely! Drinking beer during your eating window will not negatively impact your fasting state, provided you enjoy it in moderation. Balance is key to a sustainable lifestyle.
💧 Stay Hydrated
While enjoying a beverage is fine, water is always your best friend for metabolic health. Be sure to use our Hydration Tracker in the app to ensure you are meeting your daily water intake goals.
