Hungry Girl: Frighteningly Fattening Foods Exposed!

By: Lisa "Hungry Girl" Lillien

On-the-go snacks can be dangerous. That quick "pick me up" at Starbucks or Costco can add close to 1,000 calories and dozens of unwanted fat grams to your diet. Hungry Girl is here to help you find ways to curb your cravings with some satisfying swaps.

Starbucks Coffee Catastrophe

Skip it! Sure the Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino Blended Crème with Whip sounds awesome, but 740 calories and 28 grams of fat for 24 ounces of liquid? What kind of crazy person thinks that's a good idea? One who enjoys pants with an elastic waistband, that's who!

Sip it! Still want a frozen coffee treat? Opt for the Grande Espresso Frappuccino Light. It tastes great and only has 140 calories. But remember to skip the whipped cream, because it adds over 100 calories to your frappe!

Costco Cravings

Beat it! Just because everything in the store is oversized, that doesn't mean your snack has to be, too. Avoid the Kirkland Muffins at all costs ‑- especially the maple ones! That overgrown hunk of fatty cake has 920 calories and 41 grams of fat!

Eat it! Don't wanna wait till you get home to eat? Grab a Kirkland Frozen Yogurt (180 to 200 calories and no fat) or a Berry Smoothie (200 calories, no fat). Both are good choices ‑- and delicious!

Cold Stone Calamity

Beat it! Stopping at Cold Stone Creamery for an ice cream snack? Skip the candy-encrusted waffle cones and waffle bowls. They each contain 390 calories, 20 grams of fat and 55 grams of carbs ‑- and that's without the ice cream! The worst frozen offender is the Cake Batter ice cream. Their "Gotta Have It" size has 980 calories and 54 grams of fat! And don't even think about putting the two things together. That would set you back 1,370 calories ‑- without mix-ins!
