Man Finds Out What’s Healthier: 6 Coors Lights Or 1 Crumbl Cookie—The Answer May Or May Not Surprise You

When you’re trying to get shredded, managing your caloric intake is crucial. Ingesting higher amounts of protein and balancing this with fat/carbohydrates is a tried-and-true method for bodybuilders. Obviously there are exceptions: If you’re engaging in a lot of high-intensity cardio, you’ll need more calories than the average gym rat.

However, just because you’re an Olympian doesn’t mean you should engorge yourself. For instance, Olympic ski jumpers eat around 1,300 calories a day. This is to ensure their bodies weigh less on game day to help maximize air time. Conversely, cross-country skiers are expending a lot of energy and can eat as much as 7,000 calories each day.

But if you aren’t training to be a world-class athlete and are stationary much of the day, these calories can stack up.

That’s why a health enthusiast, creator of a fiber-packed protein bar, wanted to pit two popular but unexpected rivals against each other: a 6-pack of Coors Light and a single Crumbl cookie.

In the video, TikToker @amabar4u seeks out to determine which of the two was healthier for someone to ingest. The answer will probably make beer lovers everywhere smile.

6-Pack Of Coors Light Vs. 1 Crumbl Cookie

“Let’s find out what’s healthier. One Crumbl cookie or a six pack of Coors Lights. Let’s get into it,” he says before transitioning to a screenshot of a Crumbl Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chunk cookie’s macros. And the single cookie accounts for about a third of the average person’s recommended daily caloric intake. Its label reads:

• 710 Calories
• 33 grams of fat
• 22 grams of saturated fat
• 0 grams of trans fat
• 104 mg of cholesterol
• 209 mg of sodium
• 104 grams of carbohydrates
• 5 grams of dietary fiber
• 55 grams of sugar
• 5 grams of protein

“Holy s—,” @amabar4u says.

Following this, he then directs his attention toward the sixer of Coors Light. “All right, let’s compare [it] to a 6-pack of Coors Light. Their website here shows the nutritional facts for one can,” he says while navigating to a webpage, which is displayed in the background of his clip.

“I looked up the exact amount of protein … per can. It’s .9 grams. And zero fat. The full six-pack totals come out to 612 calories, zero grams of fat, six grams of sugar, 30 grams of carbs, and 5.4 grams of protein,” he tells viewers.

It’s evident that the numbers don’t lie. “We can clearly see Coors Light is better for you in every single category. Calories, fat, sugar, carbs, and even protein. And let’s be real, at this point your six Coors Lights deep, on a good one, and fully convinced you can single-handedly wrestle a gorilla,” he jokes.

Where Are The Other Calories Coming From?

“Therefore, after further analysis and research, I declare that a 6-pack of Coors Light is healthier than a Crumbl cookie. What do you all think?” he asks at the end of the video.

But there is a bit of math to get out of the way, and it’s how the macronutrients are calculated. On Coors’ website, a 12-ounce serving of beer amounts to 102 total calories, 5 grams of carbs, and 0.9 grams of protein. A single gram of fat accounts for 9 calories, with protein and carbs containing 4 calories each. This only amounts to just under 24 calories per can, so why are there an additional 78 calories?

Well, not listed on the macronutrients list is alcohol, which actually packs 7 calories for every gram, making it less calorically dense than fat but more than carbs and protein. You can calculate how much alcohol is in a beverage by looking at its alcohol-by-volume percentage. Coors Light is about 4.2% ABV, which translates to around 11.8 grams of pure ethanol (physical alcohol). This gives us just under 84 calories derived from alcohol. Since decimal points are being utilized in determining the nutrients of the beer, its label indicates that a grand total of 102 calories are in a single 12-ounce can of Coors Light.

Even on the higher end of these estimates, a 12-ounce can of Coors Light has 108 calories, making a 6-pack 648 calories max, which is still less than a single Crumbl cookie.

The choice of whichever food is worth it is entirely up to you, however. Would you rather catch a buzz and have a belly full of beer? Or does a sugar rush seem more like your speed?
