    I've never changed what I get.

    If I'm just looking for my morning coffee and for whatever reason I didn't make my own, I'll hit up Dunkin or the gas station and just get a black coffee with sugar. Sometimes I mix in that crappy powdered "cappuccino" from the machine for kicks, lol, but I don't do it often anymore since I realized that the mix is all full of trans fat.

    If I go to Starbucks, it's a treat. I'll get a tall (grande if it's iced) non-fat something (depends on the season...right now, it's salted caramel mocha). I do that maybe once a week, give or take.

    The only coffee drink I used to love and now avoid is the frozen mocha whatever-they-call-it from McDonald's. It's fricking tasty as hell, but at ~450 calories for a small it's not even worth it as a treat.

    When I'm serious about my weight loss (I fall off the wagon A LOT), I order a tall skinny cinnamon dolce. When I'm not, especially around Christmas time I get either salted caramel or peppermint mocha...I still order with non-fat milk, but I don't change anything else.

    Tall caramel macchiato. Sometimes no fat, sometimes not. I go to Starbucks rarely so, when I go, I get what I want.

    Cold drinks I get a light caramel frappacino(tall) it's only 100 calories.
    For warm drinks I get a non fat caffe mocha but I tell them to hold the whip. (Tall) it's about 170 calories.

    Venti Blonde Roast...used to get the Mocha, but it's to the tune of 400 calories. No thanks Jeff.

    some places have sugar free mocha option, you could ask and see if you like it

    1. I dont go very often, maybe once a month.
    2. I order the smallest size (confusingly, this is a "tall")
    3. I order it skinny.
    4. I ask for suagr free syrup.
    5. Or else a tea.
    6. Fresco thing in the summer!

    So it's a tall skinny s-f caramel machiato please!

    the smallest size (if you're ordering hot drink) is actually a short

    When I was moderate-carbing, I'd get a mocha skinny latte. 80 calories and amazingly good, it's like grown-up chocolate milk.

    Right now what I love is iced decaf with a little heavy cream and sugar-free vanilla. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm. With 1 oz. cream I'm guessing it's 100 calories.

    Since it was the holidays, peppermint mocha. Other than that I like the caramel macchiato or caramel frappuccino during the summer.

    This is why I was taking a break from Starbucks up until they brought the holiday drinks back.

    I usually get the mocha frapppuccino light, or some sort of nonfat drink with no whip. :) I love my Starbucks, so it's a treat I refuse to deprive myself of.

    Grande Black Coffee (sometimes decaf if it is later in the day).

    I very occasionally get a tall vanilla latte, but if I am planning on drinking 200 calories, I usually prefer it be a mix of gin and tonic.

    I've been concerned with calories for as long as I've been drinking coffee, so I never gorged on the calorie-loaded drinks. When I was in high school, I had a lot of light frappuccinos (Java Chip was my favorite), but as I got more into coffee, I gave those up and switched to skinny lattes and macchiatos (and I loved them all).

    I've recently given up artificial sweeteners because my boyfriend and I are trying to eat more clean, whole foods. In the last few months, I've had Starbucks only as a treat. I drink them hot or iced, depending on the season, and always with soy milk due to a milk allergy. I usually opt for a tall caramel or hazelnut macchiato because they're slightly lower in calories than most others. I feel like it's too much money to get not get a delicious flavor, but now that I'm trying to cut down on sugar for health reasons, I might try some without syrup.

    I have an espresso maker at home, so most days, I just have a shot or two of espresso with unsweetened (vanilla) almond milk, either hot or cold.

    So I've been seeing lots of posts on here like wahhhh my coffee was 700 calories and I had no idea, did you really have no Idea, whole milk? caramel, chocolate, extra sugar, cream, etc.

    Anyways, I feel like coffee drinks get such a bad rep like everyone is like you can NEVER have anything but a black coffee from a coffee chain or you'll die, or you need to get the smallest size and consider it a treat. I disagree, I know some people are against artificial sweetners, but I don't care, I love starbucks, and I always get the same thing: skinny vanilla (or skinny caramel) latte with soy, yes soy adds more calories than the regular skinny latte but i prefer the taste, it tastes rich and thick instead of watery. Anyways, a venti (so 24 ounces) with the soy milk is really just the same as drinking soy milk and coffee because the sugar free vanilla or caramel has no calories. So...it ends up being about 100 calories for a grande (iced) and 160 for a venti, and when I get a venti it's usually as a snack, so it's very filling because all the liquid and the soy milk is just regular soy milk (sometimes vanilla flavored but usually unsweetened) And so yeah, if i have it with breakfast I usually just have fruit or 100 calories of greek yogurt, so I don't see the big deal with them.


    TL;DR: What did you used to get, and what do you get now?? (I used to get the white chocolate peppermint latte)

    I used to get a variety of very high calorie things. Now I get a variety of very high calorie things much less often.
