How Many Calories... in a Starbucks Caramel Macchiato?

Filed under: How Many Calories?

Cool weather calls for hot drinks. My latest guilty pleasure is the Starbucks Caramel Macchiato. It's made with espresso, steamed milk, vanilla, foam and caramel sauce. It kind of looks like a fancy little pie, doesn't it?

When it comes to guessing calorie counts, the fact that this drink looks like a miniature pie worries me a little. How many calories are in a Tall Starbucks Caramel Macchiato with 2% milk?

A) 100 calories
B) 180 calories
C) 250 calories
D) 290 calories

How many calories... in Creme Brulee?

Filed under: How Many Calories?

We all need to spurge a little from time to time. We treat ourselves to dessert, and the very slurpgiest (that should be a word) of desserts, for me, is creme brulee. I realize the recipe is simple, but there's something about creme brulee that says "celebration!" I think it's the way you get to crack of the sugar top with your spoon. Plus, making it requires a torch.

This isn't something we're eating everyday. When we splurge, how many calories are in one average serving of creme brulee?

A) 280 calories
B) 350 calories
C) 420 calories
D) 575 calories

How Many Calories... in a caramel apple?

Filed under: How Many Calories?

There are certain foods that I crave only in certain seasons, and caramel apples are definitely one of them. If autumn comes and goes and I haven't eaten at least one caramel apple, I feel a little bit deprived. I think we all have little food traditions like that.

My annual caramel apple-eating tradition will continue, regardless of the answer to this question. But just out of curiosity, I wonder:

How many calories are in an average caramel apple?

A) 80 calories
B) 150 calories
C) 300 calories
D) 500 calories

The latest trend to hit fast food menus is the iced coffees and iced mochas. I love my iced coffee, and given a choice would always buy mine from the local coffee shop. But if I'm traveling, I never know where to find a coffee shop and the drive-through version starts to look pretty good . I noticed that McDonald's even has my favorite flavor, hazelnut, on the menu.

Such a big part of your child's life obviously plays a big part in their health, so here's a few blogs to keep you in the back-to-school health loop this year!

How Many Calories... in a Bloomin' Onion?

Posted: Aug 8th 2007 6:00AM by Brigitte Dale
Filed under: How Many Calories?

One of my first jobs was as a waitress at Outback Steakhouse. The most popular appetizer we sold, by far, was the Bloomin' Onion. Other restaurants have their own versions and they're all basically the same thing: a huge sweet onion that's been cut, breaded and deep fried, served with some kind of dipping sauce.

The entire time I worked at Outback, I never got sick of eating the Bloomin' Onions that the cooks would give us for for free when they accidentally made too many. They're delicious. They're pretty. It didn't bother us that if we didn't eat them when the were hot and freshly cooked they became a slimy, greasy brown wad within an hour.

We knew back then that all of those Bloomin' Onions were unhealthy, but now I wonder just how bad they really were. How many calories are in a whole Bloomin' Onion from Outback Steakhouse?

A) 820 calories
B) 1450 calories
C) 1780 calories
D) 2210 calories

The coffee versus tea debate can divide people just like politics, and it doesn't help that there are constantly new headlines about which one is healthy and which one does more harm than good. No matter which side you're on, you should stay up to date with this week's Fit Links:

The Tea Blog by the teavangelist (cute name) covers all things tea, especially tea making health headlines.

Morning Coffee and Afternoon Tea has an amazingly good recipe suggestion for Jasmine Orange Iced Tea.

Health and Coffee is exactly what the name suggests, news and information regarding my two favorite things, of course, coffee and health!

Fit Links: Choosing the right running shoes

As fabulous as we at That's Fit think this blog is, the truth is there are hundreds of wonderful blogs on healthy living to be seen all over the blogosphere. So in this feature, Fit Links, we'll introduce you to some that have caught our eye.

For serious runners, choosing the right running shoe can make the difference between success, failure, and permanent injury. But the best choice isn't always obvious. What's comfortable in the store may not be comfortable after a twenty mile run, and what looks pretty on your foot might not be comfortable at all.

This week I'm passing along some fitness blogs that offer advice on choosing the right running shoe:

FitFAQ.com, Not Your Average Fitness Blog, and the final blog, Trying Fitness I'm throwing in mostly because I like their tag line. Trying Fitness: Because you've tried everything else.

How Many Calories.. in Biscotti?

Filed under: How Many Calories?

At my local coffee shop, they have a partnership with a local bakery. This means that next to the counter there's always a selection of fresh-baked bagels, monster muffins, scones and biscotti tempting me to add a snack to my coffee order.

If I had to guess, I would think that biscotti would be the least offensive of the home-baked snack options at most coffee shops, since they are small and not covered in frosting or overly sweet. But how many calories are in one average cookie of biscotti?

A) 50 calories
B) 100 calories
C) 140 calories
D) 200 calories

Do you know this feeling? You can feel that you're in a bad mood, and you don't want to be, but you're also not sure how to get out? I hate that feeling. Here's some of my favorite links with quick fixes for a bad mood:

US News: Health has a list of seven instant, classic mood boosters including exercise and meditation.

Good Housekeeping also has a list of mood boosters, with a few surprising ones, like scents. Who knew the scent of Play-Doh could have the power change your outlook on life?

Redbook has also compiled a list of suggestions for fixing a bad mood fast. Their list includes a bit of everything, from physical (specific pilates moves) to ironing your favorite shirt. Hey... whatever works!

Note: If your bad mood isn't just temporary and a quick fix is definitely not enough, talk to your doctor about depression.

How Many Calories... in KFC coleslaw?

Filed under: How Many Calories?

At Kentucky Fried Chicken, if you're watching your calorie intake, everything except the actual Kentucky Fried Chicken can start to look like a relatively good choice. Coleslaw sounds especially healthy since it isn't fried in grease and also is made with fresh cabbage. Plus, on a hot summer day, cool coleslaw can sound like a really refreshing alternative to other sides like mashed potatoes.

The cabbage is healthy, but it's smothered in sauce. How many calories are in one serving of KFC coleslaw? The answer will also give you a rough idea of how many calories are in each serving of coleslaw at that company picnic, too.

A) 150 calories
B) 231 calories
C) 325 calories
D) 412 calories
