It’s tricky: on the one hand, many people attach particular importance to a good figure, especially in summer, on the other hand, this time of year is tempting with delicious calorie traps.
It is well known that too much ice cream can get on your hips.

However, things are a bit different with a few hidden calorie traps that you can treat yourself to in certain situations in summer without thinking too much about them.
And that’s a good thing: you shouldn’t forget to enjoy yourself. If you’re still wondering where the extra kilos came from and why your favorite shorts are a little tight: the following calorie traps will definitely include one or the other culprit.
1. Sugary refreshment
Iced Soft drinks promise quick cooling, but are unfortunately also a bad calorie trap. Whether cola, lemonade or multivitamin juice – you can’t get away from less than 100 calories per glass with any variety.
It becomes less if, for example, you mix juices with mineral water to make a spritzer. Of course, one thing is clear: the “thinner” the juice spritzer is mixed, i.e. the larger the proportion of water, the better off you are in terms of calories.

So-called “near-water” drinks are even lower in calories, but not entirely free of calories either. These are mineral waters that are flavored with fruit or herbs and contain only around 30 calories per glass.
It becomes completely calorie-free Infused Water: For this, fruits, herbs or vegetables such as cucumber are placed in a carafe with water. Taste without calories – perfect for summer!
2. “Light” lunch
When the temperatures are hot, people happily do without the warm meal during the lunch break. Salad is often used as a lighter alternative. However, that can backfire.
Because the actually so figure-friendly, healthy dish can quickly become a calorie bomb, depending on how it is prepared.
Ready-made dressings in particular are often high in fat and sugar. With tasty extra toppings such as croutons, cheese and nuts, the salad can be as high in calories as a hearty warm meal at the end of the day.
3. Coffee becomes iced coffee
At no other time of the year is as much iced coffee drunk as in summer. Understandably, because who likes to drink hot coffee even when the temperature is hot?
But big surprise: iced coffee naturally contains ice – and the creamy vanilla ice cream is not exactly a figure-flatterer with almost 200 kcal. If you add whipped cream and a decorative waffle, you’ll even get a total of up to 650 calories from the sweet refreshment.
Better: Cool the iced coffee with ice cubes, stir in a touch of vanilla sugar (only if you want) and pour in cold milk or almond drink. The lighter, refreshing iced coffee is ready.
4. Drinks beim Sundowner
Celebrating the end of the day with a drink in the evening sun is certainly one of the “must-do’s” in summer.
But you shouldn’t be fooled by the liquid consistency: for a bit of summer feeling with a cocktail like Piña Colada, you unfortunately pay 400 calories per glass.
And a regular beer (129 kcal per bottle) or sparkling wine (160 kcal per glass) also add up to a lot of calories in the long run – quite apart from the health disadvantages that alcohol brings with it.
But that doesn’t have to keep you from a relaxed sundowner. For those who want to watch their figure while doing so, wine spritzer (only 69 kcal per glass) could be an alternative.
5. Smashing while grilling
Barbecue evenings are just as much a part of summer as baking cookies is in winter. Sausages in particular like to end up on the grill – logically, as quickly as they are fried.
But even 100 grams of bratwurst have about 330 calories. In addition, there are the many saturated fatty acids that are found in industrially produced meat and do the rest to conjure up love handles.
Chicken or fish, on the other hand, contain around 50 percent fewer calories.
However, you can get even better off if you try out vegetable alternatives: Mushroom skewers, zucchini or aubergine slices (seasoned with salt, pepper and oregano) can be tasty barbecue alternatives to meat.
