To coffee or not?

I rarely drink coffee, however , I make a daily trip to Starbucks! Krissy good day= Trenta Green Tea w/4 pumps classic! Krissy rough Morning or cold out = Grande 5 pump Chai Latte extra hot no water! 

Many studies have been done on the benefits of green tea! Wanna read more?

Is that why I drink it? Honestly no, I just love the taste and need a little daily caffeine. Each pump of "classic" = sugar is 20 calories and 5 carbs. Therefore 4 pumps is 80 cal/20 carbs. This is about half of the normal. 

As for the Chai, it has more caffeine than coffee. 240 cal, 4.5 fat, 45 carb, 8 protein but it always makes my day!

Should you do it? Coffee that is. Depends! What are your goals? How strict is your diet? Can you do a daily Chai or Carmel Machiatto or Caramel Frap? Nooo! Let's put it in treadmill terms...do you really want to run an EXTRA 45 minutes on the treadmill to burn of that drink every day?

Black coffee? Sure but normal intake should not be more than 8 oz. a day. That is a "Tall" in SB lingo. If your frufru coffee drink is your once weekly splurge/cheat ... Make it a light!!!
