" Q: Let&amp;#039;s say I want to have a beer and a few nachos after work\u2026does that replace dinner?  A: Bar food isn&amp;#039;t on any healthy diet plan, so I can&amp;#039;t give this one my blessing. A plate of nachos starts in the neighborhood of 1,500 calories and climbs from there. See if you can get by with a beer (about 100 calories for a bottle of light brew) and one bite, and count it as a snack. Afterward, have a more sensible, balanced meal at home. If it&amp;#039;s too tough to say, &amp;quot;No, thanks,&amp;quot; count it as a dinner and then make a mental U-turn right back to healthier eating habits. P.S. If you&amp;#039;re really craving those nachos, try our healthier, 200-calorie-per-serving option. More Nutrition Advice from Sam:  Are Artificial Sweeteners Safe? How Do I Curb My Sugar Cravings?
