Does anyone have any idea on
whether or not you can get fat/put on weight from drinking wine? :think:

If you drink 3500 kcals of wine
in excess of what you burn off, you will gain one pound. This goes for any caloric source.

Here's an excellent link for figuring the calorie (and other) content of foods.

You
can also change the quatity in front of the item you just checked.
I looked up 6 oz of red wine and that's
about 130 calories.
But Mobley - Do you know what's an excellent food for losing weight??? --- FISH! My
favorite is fresh tuna steaks (but at $7.99/lb they're not cheap!)
I also just discovered Lipton's Carb
options Cream of Chicken Cup of Soup. One cup is only 35 cals and you can make it with more than 1 cup of water. Not
that I'm doing the low carb thing, but it's pretty filling for only 35 calories.

Any alcohol you consume will be
used by your body for fuel. If you don't need that fuel, it's stored as fat. With alcohol it's a double edged
stinker 'cos as your liver tries to "use" it, it stops the liver dealing with other substances which causes a fatty
deposit to build up.

Therefore another useful rule of
mine is:
Don't drink and eat! :nono:
PS Capt is right - Calories from alcohol go directly into the
bloodstream and the body starts burning that right away. Whatever you ate has then plenty of time to find a spot of
choice to deposit itself to!

I know where that choice
spot is on me and wish it was a foot up and in front.
