Enter the calories per beer and the number of beers consumed into the calculator to estimate the weight gain.
Beer Weight Gain Formula
The formula to estimate weight gain from beer consumption is as follows:
WG = (BC * CC) / CP
Variables:
- WG is the estimated weight gain (pounds)
- BC is the calories per beer (kcal)
- CC is the number of beers consumed
- CP is the number of calories to gain a pound (3500 kcal)
To estimate weight gain from beer consumption, multiply the calories per beer by the number of beers consumed, then divide by the number of calories required to gain a pound.
What is Beer Weight Gain?
Beer weight gain refers to the potential increase in body weight that can result from consuming beer. Since beer contains calories, excessive consumption can contribute to an increase in daily caloric intake, potentially leading to weight gain if these calories are not burned off through physical activity.
How to Calculate Beer Weight Gain?
The following steps outline how to estimate the weight gain from beer consumption:
- First, determine the calories per beer (BC).
- Next, determine the number of beers consumed (CC).
- Use the formula WG = (BC * CC) / CP, where CP is 3500 kcal.
- Finally, calculate the estimated weight gain (WG) in pounds.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem:
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
Calories per beer (BC) = 150 kcal
Beers consumed (CC) = 5
