    300 calories really? That is like one serving of oatmeal...log it and move on ...

    Yeah but oatmeal is full of fibre, low fat, and protein. This beverage was mostly just high in sugar and bad fat.

    I don't understand all these people who think all food is equivalent because their calorie amount is equivalent.

    Bad fat? What? What fat? It was just soy milk and sugar right?

    Here you go.

    There's nothing empty about that. 35% Iron! for 300 cals! Damn! If I had access to that, I'd work it into my calories!

    Seriously. I bust my but trying to hit my iron without taking supplements (The anemic struggle is real.) Do you have any idea how much cream of wheat I eat? I don't even like cream of wheat (without bacon mixed in...)

    Vit A and Calcium don't look bad either.

    I increased my steak intake and have been able to hit my Iron everyday this week without taking a supplement

    Idk why but I thought you dodnt eat red meat.

    I will have to stalk your diary more.

    I eat all the meats :tongue: I'm probably going to eat some duck some time next week. I just like chicken more and have found it a really good ratio of calories to protein. But beef is really good too and has the iron that I have had trouble maintaining. So lessons learned all the time :tongue:

    I don't even know where all that iron is coming from. Or the protein, for that matter. I am surprised. The point is, though, that I really wasn't intending on consuming that many calories as a snack. I have plans for an unhealthy dinner tomorrow so I was saving up. Now I realize it's done, can't do anything about it. Certainly can argue about it with a lot of strangers on the internet though.
    Wait, so your issue isn't that these were empty calories, but that they weren't the empty calories you were going to eat the next day?

    Because I was dismissive of the soy milk until I saw the stats on that thing--now I'm wondering if I should try to choke it down once in a while.

    I can't think of a more delicious way to drink any type of milk. It's technically an "Earl Grey Tea Latte" with vanilla syrup in it, if your barista isn't familiar. It's typically made half with hot water and half with hot milk. I order one all the time; however, I typically request no water because I'd rather have ALL THE MILKS

    Oh don't get me wrong--it sounds delicious and I'm kicking myself that I've never thought of it before. I just usually prefer regular milk (skim for me is easier on my stomach), but the stats on the soy milk are pretty good.
    Agreed! I've made it with whole milk at home and it's absolutely divine. But I've had it with rice, soy, and almond milk at a local Citybrew near my workplace as well. If they use a "vanilla" soy, it's especially decadent.

    300 calories won't wreck anything. Just move on.

    ...and in.

    ETA:
    I'm just not interested in sarcastic, smart *kitten* that's all :)

    Oh.

    The calories are probably largely from the syrup. Don't let them fool you -- it's never just one pump. I've seen them squirt as much as 6 pumps of syrup into a 12 oz. That's a lot of sugar.

    I find THAT insulting because that is labelling me as some grumpy person when really I'm quite the opposite, generally.

    I'm still catching up on this thread, but I found ^this comment absolutely fascinating based on what I've read so far.

    "bad fat"? Specifically which fat is that so I'll know to avoid it myself?


    (Also, see someone else's earlier comment about "demonizing food".)

    ETA totally unrelated rant:

    There is no such thing as soy "milk". Soy does not have teats. What you had in your drink was sweetened strained mashed up soy water. Unless you're lactose intolerant, I highly recommend the more nutritious and more delicious animal (of your choice)'s milk.

    /rant

    ETAM:
    Because I was dismissive of the soy milk until I saw the stats on that thing--now I'm wondering if I should try to choke it down once in a while.

    Yeah, the nutrition stats have me reconsidering my stance on soy "milk".



    Nah, just kidding. I'm still not going to drink that abomination of "milk".

    :tongue:

    How did you ever arrive at a conclusion of "empty calories" and "bad fat"???

    I honestly don't understand some people...at all...


    ETA: I see that others beat me to it. Guess I should read through the whole thread before posting...

    ...I *should*...

    ...but I'm not going to.

    OP, I just have to know, especially given this thread so far, what would you consider an "unhealthy dinner"???

    I have a few pages to go, but something seems off to me about the nutrition calculations. I can't figure out how they are getting 19 g of protein for 16 oz, not all of which is the soy milk. (The calories are probably right, because of the sugar and mandarin. It sounds worth it though.)

    Ha! There is no beverage on this planet that could kill MFP! Surely you jest!

    @3dogsrunning : this makes me sad, because I still must try one even though I now fear it will be a great disappointment.

    On another note an Irish cue ball is NEVER a beverage that disappoints and always worth the calories.

    Perhaps if you added the previously mentioned whiskey?
