Diet Sabatoger!


You have been doing so good! Now its after 4 and you are in a slump, have to get that stupid report out or, waiting for the conf. call that you know will keep you there past dinner time.

Starbucks. Awesome solution.

BE WISE! These drinks and some of their counterparts like another impostor the java multigrain muffin have more calories then some meals! Multigrain? Healthy, yes, but not when you pair it with flour and tons of butter! C'mon guys! Choosing this impostor could cost you 450cals and 20g of fat. They have light alternatives, fruit, yogurt and lower calorie drinks. Save these guys for your treat that happens once in a while, but don't make it an everyday date. ;-) Be wise and smart, visit their website at http://www.starbucks.com/ and look at the nutrition.

Oh and the lovely refreshing picture, well this little devil has 420 calories and 16 grams of fat! Ouch, that hurt!

Interesting isn't it? How something sooooo good, could be sooooo bad.

Well, lets not totally bad mouth our favorite coffee joint. They do have light options and sugar free options as well. Still, these can still have tons of little calories, fat and sodium. Best solution is to be informed and know what you are ingesting.

Starbucks recently stopped using transfats in all their food and drink products. Whenever I go in, I get a lo-cal drink and sometimes a little snack since I know that the fat is not quite as bad for you. :)
