EDITED: Thanks to amibell for mentioning the Whole Wheat La Tortilla Factory shells. I ran out and bought some at lunch and it saved me 180 calories and added 21 grams of fiber!! Thanks to Bobbolink for suggesting my new and improved dessert! Added 7 grams of fiber! I better go drink some water...
My only hesitation is that I don't want everyone to see that I can't give up my morning coffee from Starbucks
I have Starbucks quite regularly. I generally stick with a tall soy mocha / latte or cappacino. All are under 200 calories, which I find fits into my 1500 calorie days just fine. And the protien in the soy milk fills me up.
Your 160 calorie choice seems quite resonable to me, I think Starbucks is only a concern when people order those giant frozen drinks that can come in at 800 calories! Or really large sized flavored (with sugar syrup) drinks can get up in the 400s.
Did you read about their new larger option above venti? The trenta will be a new 31 ounce option. My french press for at home coffee is 32 ounces, so that drink is basically the equivelent to an entire pot of coffee. Jeeeez!
I have a tip for all the peanut butter lovers, buy PB2. It's a powdered form of peanut butter that has been roasted, then pressed to remove all the fats and oils. 2 Tablespoons mixed with 1 Tablespoon water = 2 creamy tablespoons of peanut butter. Only 45 calories, 1.5g total fat. Compared to regular peanut butter that has 200 calories and 16g fat. You can mix this powder into sugar free puddings and make a great dessert too. You can google it here, bellplantation.com
I'm going to post today, because i'm hungry and i hate that. I track on Lose It! but...I just need some accountability.

Reason: revise dinner
I tried that PB2 once. Didn't love it. But it might not be a bad idea for people who can't stay out of it. For whatever reason, it doesn't tempt me. Now put a jar of nutella in my cabinet and stand back!

I guess they are only offering it for iced drinks, but still. Ha.
Yes! It's CRAZY. I can't even imagine how many cals and fat those frappuccinos will have. Insanity.
My husband is a big iced tea drinker (so am I, but I usually only have it at home) and almost always gets a venti unsweetened iced tea during the warm months. He'll usually buy a second one if we're actually sitting in the store, so I can definitely see him being psyched about the trenta. Thank goodness he gets it without the sugar!
Side note: I looove french press coffee.
So I don't hijack too much on only my second day in this thread...

I checked out that PB2 it is very interesting, I am curious to try it! I use the natural kind that you have to stir in the oil. I love it, but I might want to try this because of how low it is!

Sandi...try using the PB2 in a peanut sauce. It makes a fantastic dip for raw veggies. If you still have the jar, I'll post the recipe. Or you can mix some dry PB2 into chocolate pudding, Yum! Or vanilla. Bumblebee...If you order it on line, you have to buy 4 jars. Not a problem for me because I love it, but I also asked my local grocery store to stock it. They did and can't keep it on the shelves.
This is my first day counting calories and I started out well but by evening I was snacking without control and ended up with 2340calories instead of 1754 for extreme fat loss according to the freedieting website. Does anyone use this site to determine calories needed for fat loss? I love how you all write out your calorie intake and I will join you all to be more accountable and try to preplan my meals ahead. I did a step aerobics class for an hour today. I dont want to feel so bad about this today.
