 Caffe Latte (two shots of espresso with steamed milk) is a bargain when it comes to calories (160), saturated fat saturated fat, any solid fat that is an ester of glycerol and a saturated fatty acid. The molecules of a saturated fat have only single bonds between carbon atoms; if double bonds are present in the fatty acid portion of the molecule, the fat is said to be  (0 grams), and calcium (some 450 milligrams).

n.
Cocoa butter combined with milk and a sweetener, often flavored with vanilla.

Noun 1. white chocolate
 Mocha (espresso, steamed whole milk, white chocolate syrup syrup /syr·up/ (sir´up) a concentrated solution of a sugar, such as sucrose, in water or other aqueous liquid, sometimes with a medicinal agent added; usually used as a flavored vehicle for drugs. , and whipped cream) may look like a beverage, but its 510 calories and 17 grams of saturated fat are more like a half pound of meat loaf.

Instead, order a nonfat, no-whip White Chocolate Mocha (340 calories and 4 grams of sat fat). Better yet, swap the white chocolate syrup for mocha syrup and you've got a nonfat, no-whip Caffe Mocha, with no sat fat and just 220 calories. A tall (12 oz.) brings the calories (170) into Honorable Mention range.

* Macchiato Macchiato is an Italian word, meaning "stained". It is frequently used to refer to two separate coffee drinks.
  • Caffè macchiato (also known as Espresso macchiato), literally "espresso marked (with milk)":
. There's so little milk in this espresso-plus-foamed-milk drink that a doppio Doppio in espresso is a double shot, extracted using a double filter basket in the portafilter. This results in 60ml of drink, double the amount of a single shot espresso. More commonly called a standard double, it is a standard in judging the espresso quality in barista  (2 oz.) delivers just 20 calories and no saturated fat, even with whole milk. But a grande (16 oz.) Caramel Macchiato--espresso with steamed whole milk, vanilla, and caramel--is a different animal, at 310 calories and 7 grams of sat fat. The nonfat milk version knocks off 90 calories and nearly all the sat fat.

* Frappuccino Frappuccino is the name and registered trademark of a Starbucks blended ice beverage and a bottled coffee beverage. History
Starbucks says that its frappuccino recipe was invented in 1995 by Greg Rogers, an assistant manager of a Starbucks Store on Santa Monica's Third
. The original Coffee Frappuccino Blended Coffee--which comes from a mix (mostly sugar, coffee, and milk) blended with ice and sans whipped cream--has only 260 calories and 2 grams of saturated fat in a grande. Not too shabby shab·by

It is based on Sun's picoJava architecture and is used in a wide range of devices from small, handheld appliances to desktop network computers. ), which deliver 420 to 550 calories and about 10 grams of sat fat. (The Java Chip packs 15 grams--as much as two pork chops Pork Chop

Frappuccino Blended Cremes--which come from a coffee-tree mix--are in the same ballpark. Order a grande Double Chocolate Chip Chocolate chips are small chunks of chocolate. They are often sold in a round, flat-bottomed teardrop shape (similar to a Hershey's Kiss). They are available in numerous sizes, from large to miniature, but are usually around 1 cm in diameter. , for example, and you've just shelled out close to $4 for 580 calories and two-thirds of a day's sat fat (13 grams).

If you skip the whipped cream, you can dodge 130 calories and nearly all the sat fat in almost any grande Frappuccino (except the Java Chip and Double Chocolate Chip). But you're still stuck with about 300 to 400 calories.

* Tea & Chai. The trouble with Chai (spiced tea) is the company it keeps. The whole milk and honey in a grande (16 oz.) Chai Tea Latte, for example, supply 290 calories and 5 grams of saturated fat. In contrast, milk-free iced teas like Black, Green, or (caffeine-free) Passion Tea have just 80 calories and no sat fat.

Our advice: order any Tea Latte (Chai or otherwise) as a tall (12 oz.) with nonfat or soy milk and you'll have at least an Honorable Mention.

* Hot Chocolate. A grande Hot Chocolate with whole milk and whipped cream has the calories (450) and saturated fat (14 grams) of three hot dogs. It's it's

) in Dunkin's Smoothies (Strawberry Banana, Wildberry, and Mango Passion Fruits). But you also get enough sugar to boost the calories to 360 (for a 16 oz. small). You'd have to eat 7 cups of sliced strawberries or 3 1/2 cups of mango to swallow that many calories.

* Hot Chocolate. Most coffee-house drinks get their saturated fat from milk. Not Dunkin' Donuts' Hot Chocolate or its coffee-flavored cousin, the Dunkaccino. Instead of milk, both are made from a mix that's largely sugar and non-dairy creamer Non-dairy creamers typically contain sodium caseinate, a milk protein (casein) derivative that does not contain lactose and is not considered a dairy product. Other common ingredients include corn syrup and vegetable oil solids.  (which contains partially hydrogenated soybean oil Soy´bean oil

 and more sugar). So every medium (14 oz.) Dunkaccino packs 4 grams of saturated fat and 7 grams of trans fat. Likewise, a medium Hot Chocolate has some 3 grams of sat fat and 5 grams of trans. They're the perfect chasers for Dunkin's trans-laden doughnuts.

Smaller Chains

CARIBOU COFFEE

* Mocha. A medium (16 oz.) Mocha hits 480 calories and 11 grams of saturated fat, thanks to the 2% milk, chocolate, and whipped cream. But those numbers look good next to a White Chocolate Mocha's 540 calories and 17 grams of sat fat. It's like having 13 slices of bacon for a snack.

* Cooler & Snowdrift. They're Caribou's answer to Starbucks' Frappuccinos, only larger. A medium (20 oz.) Vanilla Cooler, for example, lathers 510 calories and 15 grams of sat fat onto your frame. Even a small (16 oz.) Cookies and Cream Cookies and Cream (or Cookies 'n Cream) is a popular flavoring in foods, including ice creams, milkshakes, and confectionery.

It is typically a flavor infused into desserts using crushed chocolate cookies sandwiching a cream filling.
 Snowdrift buries you under 590 calories, 13 grams of sat fat, and 3 grams of trans fat.

* Wild. Most are espresso drinks with cocoa, caramel, or chocolate, topped with whipped cream. And most mediums (16 oz.) will give you 400 to 600 calories and half a day's sat fat.

* Smoothie. You'd be better off eating a piece of fruit than one of these fat-free mixtures of fruit puree or juice and sugar. Only one smoothie--a small (16 oz.) Passion Green Tea--doesn't top 200 calories.

Have it Your Way

Here's how to ease the load on your heart and your waistline at any coffee house.

1. Go nonfat. A nonfat or soy cappuccino or latte is almost always a Best Bite or Honorable Mention. Ordering a 16 oz. drink with nonfat milk saves all the sat fat plus 50 to 100 calories (if the chain usually uses whole milk) or 40 to 60 calories (if the chain starts with 2% milk). A 16 oz. drink with soy milk has about 50 more calories than the same drink with nonfat milk.

2. Skip the whip. At Starbucks, for example, whipped cream adds some 120 calories and 7 grams of bad fat that you could do without.

3. Tout Tout

To promote a security in order to attract buyers.

To foster interest in a particular company or security. For example, a broker might tout a security to a client in the hope that the client will purchase the security.

5. Java jitters jitters 'Butterflies' Psychology An episode of nervousness or anxiety that often precedes a public event; jitters is a type of performance anxiety which may affect actors in a stage production–stage fright or soloist musicians; it may respond to anxiolytics . According to Starbucks, you get 130 milligrams of caffeine in every 8 oz. of coffee and 65 mg in every 1 oz. shot of espresso. Other coffee houses are probably in the same ballpark. Pregnant women should minimize caffeine. And too much can make anyone jittery or unable to sleep. On the plus side, some studies suggest that caffeine may lower the risk of Parkinson's disease Parkinson's disease or Parkinsonism, degenerative brain disorder first described by the English surgeon James Parkinson in 1817. When there is no known cause, the disease usually appears after age 40 and is referred to as Parkinson's disease.  and that any coffee--decaf or regular--may curb the risk of diabetes, but more research is needed.

Best Bites ([check][check]) have no more than 100 calories. Honorable Mentions ([check]) have no more than 200 calories. Both have no more than 1 gram of bad (saturated saturated /sat·u·rat·ed/ (sach´ah-rat?ed)

 plus trans) fat. (Almost all the fat in these beverages is saturated. Exception: numbers marked with a T include at least 1 gram of trans fat.) Worst Bites (x) have 6 grams or more of bad fat.

The chart shows serving sizes that are closest to 16 oz., which is a medium (grande) at Starbucks. If a drink is a Best Bite, the chart doesn't show smaller sizes, which would also be Best Bites.

Within each section, beverages are ranked from least to most bad fat, then calories, then sugar. Our chart includes the only two national chains. For information on other chains, see their Web sites.
