So Mad At Starbucks!!!!!!!!!!

ok so I had been dieting for several months and have lost about 15lbs total... well I commute to Queens each day from Suffolk and for the past few weeks I have been stopping at Starbucks each day for an iced coffee (sugar free and skim milk) and a piece of 'Marble Loaf Cake'. Over the past few weeks I have gained 3-5lbs... I was really upset because I was doing everything the same except the STARBUCKS CAKE!!! So today I asked for the nutritional info on my new favorite cake ... 600 CALORIES!!!!!!!!!!!

Never again! That is an extra 3,000 calories a week!

I used to work there at college - STAY AWAY from the pastries! The huge iced cinammon roll was 1200 calories (I think)! I nearly fainted when I saw that!

It was so good though!

Oh wow! I had no idea this was so many calories. You wouldn't think something like that would be so many, but oh well.

Re: So Mad At Starbucks!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah... I told them that they should have a WARNING on something like that... danger to the public!

This happened to me last summer. I had mysteriously gained some weight in a month's time. I traced it to my NONFAT vanilla skim latte from starbucks. I looked up the nutritional info on the website and it turned out to be 300 calories or so. SOmedays I would get two!!

Re: So Mad At Starbucks!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry - but anything that tastes good can't be good for you! Has anyone tried Chantico? It's a 6oz cup of liquid hot dark chocolate... the nutritional value?! HAHAHHAAH None!!! It is prolly one of the worst things you can drink - but it's a popular item. FH has been working there for years as the equipment tech for LI and I hear all about the new drinks - and get to try them all for free

Re: So Mad At Starbucks!!!!!!!!!!

Even the lowfat coffee cake has 375 calories.

Re: So Mad At Starbucks!!!!!!!!!!

If you think Starbucks is bad though, you should have a look at Panera Bread. There was one across the street from my old internship in Garden City, so I used to go ALL OF THE TIME. I would just get a salad and thought I was being good. Then someone told me to look at the nutritional info., and most of the salads are over 30 grams of fat! There is even one that is 58 grams of fat!!
