If you are fitting it into your calories then it won't make you gain weight. |

hmm well if youre worried about chemicals...the light frappuccino base is made with sucralose as well. i work @ starbucks, & i can tell you that if youre trying to avoid anything artificial, dont eat any of the reduced fat pastries or syrups or light base stuff. but im pretty sure those sugar free syrups have GOTTA be a chemical nightmare. my FAVORITE indulgence is a toffee nut frappuccino lite...a tall is only 100 cals :) the caramel SAUCE is LOADED with calories, and trust me, if youre getting caramel on top, its definitely not just an extra 10 cals...we're trained to put more than standard on |

| I wouldn't get it with caramel sauce or whipped cream. It would be a tall, caramel, light frappuccino made with the sugar free syrup. | ||

| honestly, i think it's a great thing that you can indulge a little. don't feel guilty! yes, 110 calories for a beverage may not be the best thing.. but considering you can suck down 600+ calories in one drink from the same coffee shop, i think you're making a wise decision. a few chemicals every now and then won't hurt, and just because you have a small splurge 2-3 days in a row doesn't mean you'll gain weight. enjoy your life! | ||

| I think that is fine. I think that IS moderation. To me the opposite of 'anything in moderation is good' is 'losing control and eating way more than planned to'. | ||

they are artificially sweetened, but for a muffin, i guess its not too bad, coming in @ 300 calories, & 4 grams of fat. but i think that most of the pastries we sell are totally unfit for a nutritious well-balanced breakfast :( but occasionally as a treat, they're really yummy :) |

| you look so unhappy in your pictures, you need a coffee drink with real sugar to perk that face up. | ||
whipped cream...steer clear. period. on top of a frap, its got more than 200 calories in itself, guaranteed...its so syrupy and we never put 100 calories worth on. ever. haha
