Default Food & Exercise -- 7/11/2007

Went to the gym for my usual Wednesday stuff. Afterward I had a
massage in the gym spa -- thanks to the gift card they gave me in
Minneapolist :-) -- and then had a sandwich in the gym cafe. Didn't
do much the rest of the day -- just odds & ends at home.

Food:

* 7:30 (home): oatmeal w/ peanut butter & flax seed
* 10:45 (gym, between lifting & yoga): energy brownie
* 1:45 (gym cafe): tuna fish sandwich on whole wheat bread
* 4:00 (home): 1 peach
* 5:30 (home): a bunch of veggies w/ f/f yogurt onion dip
* 9:00 (home): 2 poached eggs on 1 slice whole wheat toast w/ 3 slices
f/f cheese & grated French hard cheese; 1 glass wine

Exercise:

* 10:00: Lifting: shoulder warmups; snatch pulls; power snatch; power
clean w/ split jerk
* 11:00: 75-minute yoga class -- emphasis on holding poses for longer
time

Default Food & Exercise -- 7/11/2007

Hi Chris,

I'm not a real drinker but I do enjoy the occasional glass of wine, or at
least I'd like to. I really don't know enough about wine to go out and pick
something off the shelf and know if its good or bad. In the past, I'd take
that risk once and a while, you know, but now its a little different. I
don't want to buy something, come home, look up the calories online, and
find out its something I can't have.

I'm wondering what might be good wines to try that aren't too terribly high
in calories. I don't have any particular likes or dislikes, just wanting to
try a few different kinds I guess. Do you have any recommendations for me?

Thanks!

Well, first, types of wine don't differ much in calorie count, so I
wouldn't worry about that when choosing wines to try. Most wines are
between 80 and 100 calories for a 4-oz glass. If the wine tastes very
sweet, it will have a few more calories, due to a higher residual
sugar content, but even then not a lot more. (The only exception to
this is fortified wines like port and madeira, which have about double
the calories -- and more alcohol as well. But these aren't what one
normally means when talking about sampling wines.)

So... forget about caloric differences and just do some sampling of
different types of wines. It's hard to make particular
recommendations. I'd suggest going to a wine shop, if there's one in
your area (rather than a supermarket or whatever) and asking the
proprieter for a good, reasonably-priced wine to try in several of the
main types. If you already know some things you like better than
others, e.g., whites vs. reds, start with these. Like, if you light
whites, you might take home a bottle each of chardonnay, sauvignon
blanc, pinot gris, and riesling, and see what you think of them. If
you find you really prefer one of them, then try some more of the same
type, or ask that wine store proprieter for things that might be
similar. (Generally, a wine store manager loves to have you tell them
what you've tried and liked, as that really helps them make
recommendations for you.)

There are hundreds of decent, inexpensive wines out there -- you just
need to get out there and start sampling :-). (An alternative -- or
additional thing to do -- is to join a wine tasting group of some
sort, if there are any in your area. That way you can sample a bunch
of wines without investing in a bottle. For example, I belong to the
American Wine Society, which has hundreds of local chapters -- you can
check for groups in your area at www.americanwinesociety.org. You do
have to watch the bread and cheese and such that will probably be
served at the meetings, though :-).)
