Scarsdale Personal Trainer Discovers The Starbucks Protein Shake

A Scarsdale Personal Trainer Makes a Waist Shrinking Discovery on line at Starbucks!

That’s me coming outta the Starbucks on Central Ave all happy with a protein shake in hand after a hard workout of pushups, jump squats, lunge presses, and burpees all for 45 seconds each (then repeated 8 times) finishing with 5 sprints up and down a steep hill – sheesh LOL…

I never knew this (I was going to just get a plain cup of Joe and then head home to make my own protein shake but…

the line was long that I had some time to really stare at the menu.

Besides from the fact that the amount of calories in some coffee choices were INSANE (like ruin your chances of weight loss insane) I did notice a few good choices this Scarsdale Personal Trainer would recommend including their protein shake/smoothie selections.

Look for the section called – Vivanno Smoothies

They have 3 flavors: strawberry, chocolate and Orange Mango.

Total calories: 270 Total Fiber: 6 grams Total Protein: 15 grams Total Fat: 2 grams and Zero Saturated Fat or Trans Fat.

My only concern is that it’s a little high in the carbs like around 50 grams but I have 2 things to say…

1. If you use this shake POST workout then you need a little carbs so don’t be scared – carbs are especially GOOD after a workout to help with muscle recovery and metabolism!

2. Here’s a great tip. Ask them to add an extra scoop of protein powder and use only 1/2 banana. This will increase the protein and decrease the carb count.

Give it a try and tell this Scarsdale Personal Trainer (who gets looked at funny when he takes pictures like the one above but does it just for YOU) what ya think

Eating Better At Burger King

By the way, just to be clear – eating fast food is NOT what I recommend doing.

However, in the rare event that you do drive thru a fast food joint, these videos make it possible to save calories, limit fat and carbohydrate intake and make the higher protein, lower calorie choice.

With that said, check out this video as I made a BETTER choice…

After the small chili (220 calories), the side salad (25 calories) with no dressing, the mandarin orange cup (90 calories) and a bottle of water, I only ate 335 calories of food. That is really awesome.

1 medium french fries is 410 calories so I ate all that food and still came in 75 calories less than fries plus I had food that’s good for you.

Other Good Choices (add a mandarin orange cup or side salad if you’re hungry)

* The Ultimate Chicken Grilled Sandwich – 370 calories and only 7 grams of fat.

* The Grilled Chicken Go Wrap – 260 calories and only 10 grams of fat.

* The Small or Medium Chili is still my favorite!

DOÂ NOT GET….

The Chicken Club Sandwich – it’s 630 calories and 31 grams of fat…yikes!
