Help! Ideas for Costa coffee

I have a skinny cappuccino(or tea) and half their skinny berry muffin, or if i fancy something more i will skip breakfast or have it as my lunch depending on whats happening that day.

I always get a cup of tea, with skimmed milk. If you're set on coffee, either a flat white or Americano (both with skimmed milk) come out best in terms of calories - you can get an iced Americano if you want an iced coffee. As for food, yeah, it's all fairly high cal stuff, even when they call it a 'skinny' muffin! I rarely eat in coffee shops these days, but the biscuits (biscotti, ginger biscuits etc) are usually what I have. It's a nice nibble, rather than a meal, and you don't feel like you're depriving yourself too much! Their website gives the nutritional values of everything, so it's probably best to skip breakfast, count up what the things you have are, and enjoy!

I usually go for a skinny latte (or iced skinny latte if it's a hot day). The protein content will make it more satisfying. There are sugar free syrups if you like sweet coffee. If you want something to nibble without too many calories they sometimes have bags of flavoured popcorn.

I usually go for a medium skinny sugar free caramel latte (although I do feel very pretentious when ordering it!

I don't usually eat from there, although I did use to have one of the giant bourbon biscuits most times I had coffee (2-3 times a week). Then when I started using mfp I found that they were 400+ calories. They're yummy, but not yummy enough for all of those cals!

I usually just get an americano with a bit of full fat milk (can't stand skim milk in americanos), and sometimes I get a skinny cappuccino with a shot of vanilla. Occasionally I treat myself to a skinny coffee cooler. The iced cappuccinos are pretty low calories if they're skinny.

If I get lunch there I get a chicken wrap or an egg sandwich. I don't usually get a snack there, although my kids like the wafers so I eat a couple of those. The biscotti has about 170 calories I think.

I LOVE costa, finding a way to fit the obsession around my calories has been one of the trickier parts of losing weight haha. I usually go for a skinny latte (small is about 70 calories I think but all the info is on their website) and sometimes I add sugarfree caramel syrup- basically no calories and tastes amazing! Food wise I usually just order one of the pastries or something and split it with someone (half a chocolate twist is about 170 cals I think)

so if you have a skinny (made with skimmed milk) latte and share a pastry you're looking at under 300 calories

The small peach lemonade is 88 cals and a small regular latte with sugar free caramel syrup comes in at 145 cals and can be iced on warm days and the protein helps.
