starbucks teas...

[sartreroquentin]

are such things as a tall "green tea" "green tea latte, non-fat"
bad for a cut? i mean they range from 60 calories to 160calories with 15-20g of sugars...
would it be a bad cheat? if im already on a carb deficit based, high protein/low fat cutting diet of 2300/500max calories daily?(i normally need 3500/4000 to maintain based on my past)

I would recommend making your own tea from tea bags or even try that new ENVIGA green tea ...stuff is great ...5 calories. Snapple green tea is pretty darn good too...low in calories and all our low in carbs.

One more thing.....Starbucks is like the FAST FOOD of drinks. I think most of their drinks are loaded with calories and tons of carbs. I has a mocha frappuchino from there (which are the best) without knowing how many caloiries were in them....and saw and it was like over 400+ i think ...i almost fainted after seeing that. haha

Actually, i looked and a couple of their green teas arent THAT bad but they do have alot of sugars in them. Calories look ok though. Just as long as you dont get cream or the whipped cream on top u should be ok.

yeah i normaly go for non-fat milk or soy milk for the lattes
and always always get the tall size(smallest) and have them put it in the medium and fill to the top with ice...
