Calorie shocker - Costa Coffee Fruit Cooler 192 Cals !!

Aww you can run on the spot for a while if you feel like you need to burn something, run up and down the stairs or do some star jumps, or just go for a little walk!

It doesn't have to be anything major to help burn it off!

Look on the positive side, you have learnt something from this and that will help you in the future!

I had a smoothie from Tropical Smoothie Cafe one night - came home and found out the smoothie I had? Well, it was almost 300 calories! Holy Smokes! Now, I make sure I work it into my calories for the day BEFORE I drink it. It was delicious, but that's a lot of calories to toss away on a drink! Fruit or not!

Its terrible, but I've gotten to the point that before I'll go out to lunch or dinner, I'm examining the online menus for nutiritional info. Its important to know what you are getting yourself into. A fruit drink/smoothie tends to be high in calories, unless you make it at home. Typically, the smoothies you get a restaurant are not just whole fruit and ice. They typically contain fruit juice, which all in all, is terrible for you. High sugar content and no fiber. I avoid drinking my fruit if possible and eat the whole fruit. It fills me up more and because of the fiber, its not anywhere near as bad for me. My dietician told me after I was diagnosed as a diabetic, that if I want an 8 oz glass of orange juice, I'd be better off eating 3 oranges. Once I logged in here, I started thinking about it. I'd never actually sit down and eat 3 oranges in a sitting, but would think nothing of pouring 8-12 oz in a glass and drinking it down.

I avoid fruit juice now as a standard. I typically avoided frozen fruit drinks in restaurants for that reason as well.

I had a Sonic smoothie a while back that was over 300 calories. I started drinking it then googled and ended up throwing it into a trash can as I drove by.
