Starbucks Most Wanted...

Signature Hot Chocolate

Calories: 536
Fat: 30g
Saturated Fat: 18g
Carbohydrate: 58g
Sugars: 47g
based on grande with semi-ckimmed milk and cream

The signature hot chocolate will load you up with calories, saturated fat, and sugar which is what you want to avoid to lose weight. Even swapping to a tall with skimmed milk and no cream will still set you back about 300 calories. The high amounts of sugar will ensure that you will still want to eat more soon after and will give you blood sugar levels a big spike. Avoid at all costs if you are trying to shift those extra pounds.

Vanilla Latte

Calories: 251
Fat: 6g
Saturated Fat: 4g
Carbohydrate: 36g
Sugars: 33g
based on grande with semi-ckimmed milk

You might think a latte is a more conservative option if you are trying to lose weight, but think again, at 251 calories it should certainly replace any snack you may be thinking about having between meals. The fat content is not too bad and you can get rid of nearly all saturated fat by swithcing to skimmed milk, but watch out for the sugar. At 33g it is nearly all consisting of simple sugar which will not keep you full for long! read more about sugar in your diet...click here
