Host: What about the calories in my favorite drink?

Elizabeth Rahavi: It is important to remember that your favorite drink may also contain calories, and you need to recount for these calories in your daily intake. If you consistently find that you are getting more calories than you need try switching your beverages from a full calorie to a low or no calorie beverage. For instance you can try switching from a full calorie soda to a low or no calorie soda. You can also consider switching from home milk to one percent or skimmed milk. 1
