Ok is it ok to drink something that has 480 calories if i alot it into my daily calorie intake? This is a drink that i like alot and have had maybe once a week maybe once every two weeks.

That's a lot of calories for a drink. Does it have any Protein?

If it's something you account for in your calories once a wk or everyother wk - might not be such a problem if it's something you really enjoy.

I'm not a big fan of drinking my calories (unless a glass of wine here / there) - but I do count them in the daily counter for the day and get an "extra hard" workout in. Maybe going for an extra walk the day of your "drink" might be an option??

it's your decision to ingest whatever you want, is there anyway you could cut out some of the cals though since 480 is alot, like maybe sugar free Syrup (if it's a starbucks drink) or maybe a smaller size since I doubt that the smallest size has that many cals but if it does I'd like to know the rest of the nutritional info cause it can't be too good.if you go for the smaller size then you still get the taste and enjoyment out of it but not quite as much damage.

If it were me I would probably have it once a month because that's a lot of extra calories. It might slow down your weightloss.

The beauty of the band is you can do whatever you want! If you can fit it into your alotted calories and it doesn't slow you down, go for it! Honestly, I've never stopped myself from eating or drinking something I really wanted.

Tarrn said it: It's your choice to ingest whatever you want. 480 calories is 480 calories, whether it's a drink or a slice of cheesecake. (Or an apple fritter from Starbucks, I just discovered.)

That's a lot of calories to be taking in unless whatever it is has lots of nutritional value.

Wow Gillie that must be some type of drink. I would probably say treat yourself to it once a month as a special treat only if you have lost a couple of pounds during that month as I can have 2 meals and a snack for that amount of calories. I agree with a couple of other people that said try to drink half of it to cut the amount of calories. In the end the decision is yours to make just think healthy when you do. Good Luck!
