Do you like getting your caffeine from coffee? Just stick to the coffee. According to the Nutrition Action newsletter, a Starbucks Venti (20 ounce) Caffè Mocha with whole milk and whipped cream is loaded with 450 calories and 13 grams of saturated fat. Instead, order a tall (12 ounce) with nonfat milk and no whipped cream. That brings you down to 170 calories and no saturated fat.
