The coffee, espresso, and tea that Europeans sip in their cafés hasn’t changed much
over the years. But stop at a coffee house in the U.S. (there are probably two on the
next block), and that 10-calorie beverage has likely morphed into a 500-calorie
milk shake. Here’s how to keep your coffee break from turning into a Big Mac break.
Like their fast-food cousins, Starbucks and
other coffee sellers put nutrition numbers
on their Web sites, but not their menu
boards. If Starbucks did, here’s what you’d
see.
?
Latte.
A grande (16 oz.) nonfat Caffè
Latte (two shots of espresso with steamed
milk) is a bargain when it comes to calories
(160), saturated fat (0 grams), and
calcium (some 450 milligrams). But
you’ll add:
•
70 calories for flfl avored syrups (unless
you get no-cal, sugar-free Hazelnut or
Vanilla),
•
100 calories for whole milk instead of
nonfat, or
•
50 calories for soy milk.
If you’re not careful, your bargain can
balloon to a whole-milk Vanilla Latte
with 320 calories and 7 grams (a third of
a day’s worth) of sat fat. Oops.
Bonus: get any grande nonfat latte iced
and you’ll save about 50 calories.
?
Cappuccino.
The mix of steamed
and foamed whole milk that’s added to
the espresso supplies a grande with just
150 calories, but who needs 5 grams of
saturated fat in their coffee? Stick with
nonfat milk and you’ve got a 100-calorie
Best Bite with around 250 mg of calcium—
20 percent of a day’s worth.
?
Mocha.
A grande White Chocolate
