Plate Visuals & Healthy Combos: Starbucks

Here is another visual connection for how food can work for different nutritional goals ☕️ and I will preface this with anything that can work within your diet…

Sidebar: the word diet comes from the Greek word “diaita,” which means “way of life”, so more about how we live and not just following a specific food plan to lose weight.

…You can eat anything, but what changes is the amount. This is deep within mindful eating as well. The energy equation matters.

Calorie Deficit ☕️
Tall Strawberry Acai Refresher 80 kcal
Spinach, Feta & Egg White Wrap 290 kcal

Maintenance ☕️
Grande Caffe Latte 190 kcal
Spinach, Feta & Egg White Wrap 290 kcal

Calorie Surplus ☕️
Tall Chocolate Cookie Crumble Creme Frappuccino 330 kcal
Spinach, Feta & Egg White Wrap 290 kcal

For the purposes here, this is merely a suggestion for becoming a little bit more visually mindful when ordering at a coffee shop. Because, truthfully, what might be a meal that would fit a calorie surplus for me might be one that fits a calorie deficit for my husband.
