About Negra modelo

Negra Modelo is a dark lager beer originating from Mexico, first brewed in 1925. It is known for its amber hues and rich, malty profile with hints of caramel and chocolate. While Negra Modelo is appreciated for its complex flavors, like other beers, it is calorically dense, primarily composed of carbohydrates, alcohol, and negligible protein. A 12-ounce serving contains approximately 170 calories, 15 grams of carbohydrates, and 5% alcohol by volume, making it a relatively moderate-choice lager in terms of caloric intake when compared to heavier styles like stouts.

Health Benefits

• Moderate alcohol consumption, such as a single serving of Negra Modelo, can positively impact cardiovascular health by increasing HDL ('good') cholesterol.
• Negra Modelo beer contains polyphenols, antioxidants that may help reduce oxidative stress when consumed in moderation.
• The malt used in Negra Modelo provides trace amounts of vitamins like B6 and niacin, important for energy metabolism.

Common Questions About Negra modelo Nutrition

What is the nutritional content of Negra Modelo beer?

Negra Modelo contains approximately 150 calories and 1.4 grams of protein per 12-ounce serving. It also has around 13 grams of carbohydrates and no significant vitamins or minerals. It is primarily a source of energy due to its alcohol and carb content.

Is Negra Modelo compatible with a keto diet?

Negra Modelo is not ideal for a keto diet due to its carb content, which is about 13 grams per 12-ounce serving. Since keto diets typically limit carbs to 20-50 grams per day, consuming Negra Modelo might make it challenging to stay within that range.

Are there any health benefits or concerns with drinking Negra Modelo beer?

Moderate consumption of Negra Modelo, like other beers, may have potential benefits such as relaxation and social enjoyment. However, regular or excessive intake can contribute to weight gain, liver strain, or alcohol-related health concerns. Keep consumption within recommended limits—typically one beer per day for women and two for men.

How much Negra Modelo should I drink in one serving?

A single serving of Negra Modelo is 12 ounces, which contains around 150 calories. For responsible and moderate consumption, it is recommended not to exceed one beer per day for women and up to two beers per day for men, according to health guidelines.

How does Negra Modelo compare to similar beers like Guinness or Amber Lagers?

Negra Modelo has a richer, malt-forward flavor profile compared to lighter amber lagers, but it is less creamy than Guinness. It has a similar calorie count to Guinness Draught (roughly 150 calories per serving) and more carbs than many amber lagers, making it less suitable for low-carb diets.
