Starbucks and Calorie Excesses

A recently released report points out that a regular habit of buying Starbucks or other coffee chain 'special drinks' can really add up your daily calories consumed.

For example, how many calories would you say are in the Starbucks' blackberry green tea Frappuccino?

Three hundred? Guess again. It's 560 calories! One could eat a nice meal of grilled chicken and a heaped plate of tasty vegetables and still not come close to this kind of calorie dose.

Such high-calorie drinks are now very popular in coffee shops across North America. But they add zero nutritional value to our daily diet.
