Which means there is a significant amount of heavy cream- usually 6+ Tbsp of cream in a venti to get it light pink! That’s 300 Calories and 6g if net carbs! And while heavy cream is perfectly fine and a nice source of fat this drink has almost no micronutrients at all and is a poor option to use more than 1/4 of my daily carbs on and that amount of calories. Well one of the most infamous keto drinks is the keto pink drink! But many times I see it and it is very light pink. So tracking macros means that I need to incorporate foods that are nutrient dense as well as low glycemic so that they don’t affect my progress. When I was losing weight I had a different set of calories because I needed a deficit. I also want to maintain my weight so I know I need a set amount of calories a day. I do this because I know for my body to be at a certain level of ketosis that I personally feel best at I need a higher fat:protein ratio. And while a food isn’t necessarily keto or not keto in and of itself, some food are more likely to negatively impact for blood ketone levels and glucose levels which will directly impact weight loss and ketosis. Sometimes we want a little something other than BPC or black coffee! I see so many “Keto” Starbucks drinks that are loaded with either calories or sweeteners that aren’t the best option for those looking to maintain ketosis and lose weight. I made a little cheat sheet for my challenge group for going to Starbucks.
