Bloody Mary Calories & Carb Grams

One Bloody Mary contains about 86 calories and 4.5 carb grams.

One jigger of Vodka contains about 100 calories for 80 Proof. Increase caloric content by about 20 calories for 100 Proof Vodka.

Tabasco (1 calorie per teaspoon) and Worcestershire (13 calories per Tablespoon) sauces contain minimal calories.

Tomato juice is very low in calories but can be high in sodium content. Opt for reduced sodium varieties when available. Per ounce, tomato juice contains 5 calories.

A Low Calorie Recipe Featuring Worcestershire Sauce

This kicky sauce can take many proteins up a notch on the Totem Pole of Great Flavors. In this low calorie diet friendly recipe we'll feature chicken breast. Three ounces without skin and visible fat contain a skinny 120 calories.

Ingredients for this Diet Chicken Recipe

1 cup of chopped chicken breast with skin and visible fat removed
1 Tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
2 cups of broccoli florets (make sure they are tender and use fresh if possible over frozen)
1/2 cup of chopped raw onions of any variety - fresh or frozen
Worcestershire Sauce
Sea Salt & Cracked Black Pepper
1/2 cup of water

Cook onions in olive oil until they are clear. Add the chopped chicken breast and cook until juices run clear. Add 1/2 cup of water and the broccoli. Cover with a lid and allow the broccoli to become fork tender. This shouldn't take more than five minutes.

Liquid should dissipate amid cooking time; if not - drain off excess taking care not to get burned by the steam. Return to heat and add the Worcestershire Sauce - the amount depending upon personal taste. We like to add about 1/4 cup to our pan. Also add salt and pepper if needed.

Serve over hot rice with a side of crusty bread.
