How Many Calories in Your Favorite Coffee Drink

Facing the truth is not all that easy, but if you do face the truth your life will flourish. You can think about that advice over a nice coffee drink.

Have you ever wondered how many calories are in the coffee drinks you buy every morning on your way to work? I am sure you have wondered how many pounds you are packing by drinking coffee at Starbucks. It just so happens that you can find out the answer now.

Are you ready to face the truth?

The Coffee Maker Store has created a Coffee Calorie Calculator that tells you how many calories are in the most popular drinks at America's biggest coffee shop chains.

If you love coffee drinks, but want to avoid a large waist line, The Coffee Make Store calculator just may save your figure or tell you that you need to take a few more trips to the gym!

The Coffee Maker Store says on their site that they came up with these figures knowing that your body will turn 3500 excess calories into 1 pound of fat. Alternatively, by cutting just 500 calories per day, you can lose up to 1 pound of fat/week without any exercise! I don`t know about without any exercise. But, it`s good to know because you might want to change or modify your coffee drink.

They also say that they will be constantly adding new drink combinations, so be sure to check back often. That might be hard since your rather enjoy your coffee drink instead of worry about the waistline.

Click here to go to the Coffee Calorie Calculator and good luck!

How Much Protein Powder

I talked to a friend of mine who was contemplating increasing her protein in her diet, heading for a strictly high protein diet. She`s not a bodybuilder but wants to change the way her body looks.

She asked one of the young employees at the Racquet Club how much protein he takes a day for his sport. He told her 200 grams a day. This shocked my friend for she could not fathom how to get that much protein her body.

Obviously, protein is a requirement for a bodybuilder. 200 grams a day vastly exceeds those of the sedentary individuals. The reason being is that bodybuilders are relentlessly taxing their muscles by diet and training.

Hence, they must be aware of proper nutritional balance for recovery and growth. Protein Powder does that easily. It`s important to use strictly protein powder with no fillers, no carbs and no sugar.

Based upon what my friend told me about the young bodybuilder make sense. The young man must weight 175; I believe he is a light-weight. So, he aims for 1 1/2 to 2 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight per day.

Now some might say per pound of "lean body weight" per day. Since most bodybuilders try to stay on the lean side even during the bulking phase, this adds up. All in all, protein powder is a necessity for any bodybuilder.

Italian Chocolate with Probiotics - Healthy and Tasty

Chocolate Fountain Hire

I am in heaven because a probiotic manufacturer and a farm-to-store chocolate manufacturer have married a chocolate bar with probiotics! It seems rather unbelievable because chocolate is so wicked, and probiotics is so humane. But it's true and here is the healthy news.

Ganeden Biotech and Agostoni Chocolate together announced Chocolate Plus Private Label. The product is the first store brand functional snack program to bring together GanedenBC30 probiotic with an award-winning premium Italian dark chocolate. Now, this is the way to eat chocolate!

Designed to fit into retailer's confectionary and wellness supplement categories, the Chocolate Plus Private Label program offers a mix-and-match approach for product feature and pricing flexibility.

Chocolate lovers start with the popular health benefits of Agostoni's premium Italian dark chocolate--70 percent for a high cocoa content or 60 percent for a softer flavor profile--and can opt to munch on the chocolate with the GanedenBC30 probiotic alone, or savor a chocolate bar that includes GanedenBC30 probiotic plus toasted flax seed, which contributes additional Omega oils.

Beyond choices in flavor and ingredients, the Chocolate Plus Private Label program gives chocolate fanatics the option of two chocolate bar sizes: either a bite-sized 0.5 ounce mini-bar or a 1.1 ounce snack bar format.
