Alcohol, including vodka, interferes with our body's fat burning process. Normally, our liver metabolizes (breaks down) fats. When alcohol is present, however, your liver prefers to break it down first. Fat metabolism comes to a screeching halt while your body uses the alcohol for energy.

Vodka is one of the lowest calorie alcoholic beverages overall and has zero carbs, which is why it’s a liquor of choice for dieters, especially those on a low-carb diet like the Paleo or Atkin’s diet. You’ll just need to watch out for sugary mixers, late-night snacks, and drink only in moderation to protect your overall health. Vodka nutrition facts Vodka contains nothing other than ethanol and water. This means that vodka has pretty much no nutritional value. There are no sugar, carbs, fiber, cholesterol, fat, sodium, vitamins, or minerals in vodka. All of the calories come from the alcohol itself. Vodka, 1.5 ounces, distilled, 80 proof Amount Sugar 0g Carbs 0g Fiber 0g Cholesterol 0g Fat 0g Sodium 0g Vitamins 0g Minerals 0g How many calories are in a shot of vodka? Vodka is considered a lower-calorie libation compared to wine or beer. The more concentrated your vodka is (the higher the proof), the more calories it contains. The “proof” is a number that refers to the percent of alcohol in the liquor. You can figure out the percent by dividing the proof in half. For example, 100 proof is 50 percent alcohol, while 80 proof is 40 percent alcohol. The higher the proof, the higher the calorie count (and the bigger effect on your blood alcohol content). For a 1.5-ounce shot of vodka, the number of calories are as follows: 70 proof vodka : 85 calories

Of course, it depends on the brand and the proof. Some brands of rum, for example, contain added spices and sugar that change the flavor and also the nutritional content. Wine and beer in general have more calories and carbohydrates per serving than vodka: Type of beverage Calorie count Carb count Wine (5 ounces) 125 5 Beer (12 ounces) 145 11 Light beer (12 ounces) 110 7 Champagne (4 ounces) 84 1.6 Does flavored vodka have more calories? Flavor-infused vodkas can make for a more delicious experience and may also eliminate the need for high-calorie mixers like cranberry or orange juice. Nowadays, you can find vodka infused with the natural or artificial flavor of just about anything. Lemon, berry, coconut, watermelon, cucumber, vanilla, and cinnamon are popular options. There are also more exotic infusions including: bacon, whipped cream, ginger, mango, and even smoked salmon. The best part is that most of the infused versions don’t contain any extra calories other than plain vodka! Be careful not to confuse flavor-infused vodka with vodka drinks made with flavored sugary syrups that are added after the fermentation and distilling process. These products often contain many more calories than an infused vodka. Always read the labels carefully. If you can’t find nutrition information on the product label, try searching the manufacturer’s website. Low-calorie vodka drinks Vodka by itself has pretty much no taste other than the burning alcohol flavor that a lot of people find unpleasant. So many drinkers choose to mix vodka with sweet juices or sodas to help with the taste. But the high sugar content of many of these mixers can wreak havoc on your diet. A cup of orange juice , for example, contains 112 calories, and regular soda has over 140 calories per can. Most of those calories come from sugar. Instead of sugary liquids, keep your drink low-calorie and low-carb by mixing your vodka with one of the following: lower sugar sodas
