    Find ways to cut cals from your other meals, order reduced calorie (if possible?), and/or workout extra hard to make up for it.

    It's all about making the numbers work!

    Protein AND sugar (like 4-5 grams) if memory serves me right.

    Tall skinny caramel latte is my weakness... only 90 odd calories though so I treat myself to it once a week.
    I used to have a grande one, with normal milk... so this tastes the same, but is a better portion size and lower calories.

    Everything in moderation :smile:

    Exactly. The quickest way to fall into bad habits is to restrict so much that you're miserable all the time.

    I understand. I love Starbucks too. I can't limit myself very well so I completely gave it up. I stick to a cup of regular coffee in the mornings. Plus I try to remind myself of the money I am saving.

    I also love Starbucks. I Downloaded an app for my smartphone. It's on Market under Satarbucks Calories. It's free and you can control the calories you eat/dreak!

    The quality of Starbucks coffee isn't all that good. Buy yourself a good coffeemaker and some nice beans and make yourself a to-go cup at home.

    You'll save money and calories.

    If you have to indulge think small! They do a kiddie size of most things so if you REALLY need that full fat frapachino get the smallest size possible. ;)

    White Chocolate Americano. The white chocolate gives the espresso a nice, creamy finish.

    70 calories for a tall, and CHEAP. I mean, it's terrible for you and not nutritious at all, but it's a good trade-off.

    Once a week for me if I crave it on my free day, sometimes I don't....but i I want it save for then. Always get non fat though, just my preference, and I don't skip the whipped....they also have a Strawberry Banna smoothie that is made w/ whey protien and is really good:)

    Compromise or make it work. Green tea isn't going to replace a coffee, the flavor and caffeine levels aren't the same.

    I still get my favorite Black Tea Lemonade often! I work it into my calories. Just because I am watching my calories does not mean I am going to stop enjoying some of the things I love!
