Re: Question about Starbucks

[Guest guest]

If you go to www.starbucks.com you can find out all the information on the different drinks that they have. I wouldn't really count it as part of my liquid intake but then that is just me. I do count the protein.

I count it as both protein intake and fluid. I also take into

account the overall caloric value for my daily intake.

A grande, decaf, non-fat, no foam latte =

Calories 160

Fat Calories 0

Total Fat (g) 0

Saturated Fat (g) 0

Cholesterol (mg) 10

Sodium (mg) 220

Vitamin C 0%

Calcium 45%

You can find out the nutritional information of all starbucks

products at www.starbucks.com.

Hope this helps,

Please Please take it from me...if you havent aquired a taste for it

DONT!! Its on the list now(probably cuz of me) of things that you

must avoid. Even nonfat milk has loads of calories,sugar and carbs. I

second the advice to go to starbucks website, there you can get all

the nutrient information. Its a bad bad bad nasty habit. I started

out with good intentions...sugar free nonfat lattes....I quickly went

to the full flavored peppermint mochas. I now struggle with it

daily!! Since the first of January I have slipped twice....I cannot

even do moderation right now.

Lilka I would count it as liquid intake, not sure how much protein. I'm sure it's not a lot, but you add up all the protein for the day to make sure you're getting enough. So I'm sure you could use it as both. Just remember you need to also keep track of all your calories, when you start eating more it makes a difference when you add in drinks with lots of calories, and if you start this to soon later it can slow your weight lose down. Also our kidneys need good old plan water to keep us from getting kidney stones, I had many and had to have the procedure to have them taken out the year before WLS, so when I talked to the kidney doctor about WLS he said because we take a lot of calcium, that we definitely should not drink caffeine. These will definitely cause stones if you are not drinking water and really if you don't keep your liquid in take up. Believe me stones are a real hurting thing to have. Take care.
