Who Knew??


Check out this recent Men's Health article, Drink this, not that! They've "identified the most bloating beverages in America and replaced them with sensible and satisfying stand-ins". For example:Coffee
Drink this
Double Espresso Macchiato

15 calories
0 fat

Not that!
Large Caffe Latte
190 calories
7 grams of fat

Apparently, "in the hierarchy of espresso drinks, lattes sit squarely at the bottom. That's because they're more milk than java, and are susceptible to huge pumps of sugary syrup from eager-to-please baristas. A Macchiato gives the same caffeine kick for a tiny fraction of the caloric cost by swapping out the excess steamed milk for a thick crown of frothed milk. It's a simple but meaningful switch for caffeine junkies looking for a healthier fix."
