How many Calories in your Fave Drink?

 

 

A 16-oz. breakfast smoothie (470 cals) might as well be a double cheese-burger (450 cals)

Smoothies can be a great way to get fruits and veggies into your diet-but they can also be brimming with added sugar. Make sure yours has whole fruit and no mixers.

A frozen mocha with whipped cream (560 cals) might as well be a five-layer beef burrito (540 cals)

Milk is calcium-rich, so that's good. But the calories in some coffee-bar drinks? Sheesh! Keep yours lower-cal by asking for skim and skipping the whipped cream.

A large sweet iced tea (291 cals) might as well be a small order of fries (271 cals)

Calorie giveaway? Anything that has sweet in its name. Plus, the extra sugar makes insulin levels spike, says Blake, so "you'll be hungrier sooner than if you just ate the fries."

A soda (152 cals) might as well be a bag of nacho cheese chips (150 cals)

 For those of you who can't get through the day without your afternoon caffeine (we've all been there), reach for a skim iced coffee (30 calories) or green tea (a calorie freebie).

A mojito (225 cals) might as well be two brownies (224 cals)

 Nutritionist truth: A mojito is basically dessert. You just have to plan your meal accordingly-or pick champagne instead; it's only 78 calories per glass.

A 6.5-oz. glass of wine (165 cals) might as well be three mini powdered doughnuts (157 cals)

 "Nowadays, wineglasses are as big as water goblets," says Blake. Bottom line: Drinks are delish, but they're not "free." Guzzle carefully, and remember, solid food fills you up more!
