I loved these pre-band and decided to have one for breakfast yesterday!!!!  bad move!  I just looked it up and for the Large carmel/mocha java chiller I consumed........780 calories!!!  That is insane! I guess that's a treat I won't be having again....or at least until I am at goal! Thought I'd share before anyone else made the same bad move!

Wow, that is alot of calories!  I haven't had one but think they look pretty yummy when I drive by their sign out front of the restraunt. Guess I will pass on by, huh? Chrissy

I have not ever had one of these but do not think I will try one now either.  I saw the fruit smoothie on the menu at Sonic one day.  I thougth it would be ok since it had fruit and low fat yogart.  I got one while I was waiting on my daughters food.  BIG mistake when I got home and looked it up it does not have any fat but has about 2 zillion calories..not hardly but it has got alot of calories.  I have not stopped at Sonic since for one.

Zoinkers! 780 calories!  I'm so happy that I (us & we) have become much more conscious of food choices and calorie intake.  Before surgery, unless I was "dieting"... I wouldn't have thought twice about a carmel/mocha java chiller.   Thanks for the info!

Donna, I also love mocha frapp, so now I ask them to either don't use the syrup or just blend ice, coffee and eiher skim milk or creamer with splenda for me, it is heavenly, I have to admit it is bit dryer than the original recipe but it is still GOOD. Also I don;t drink caffeine anymore, even preband I ordered decaff Ellie

Donna, I did two days in a row of those last week ( java chip ) Big mistake!!!!! Huge!!!! I eat very low-fat and when I drank those ( I had the worst gas ) EVER!!!!!!!! I mean crippleing pain, I never want to feel that way again, they do have lighter options ( now ) I would probibly opt for no ( whip-cream ) I also only get a tall size. For the coffee's I opt for a "Short" it's not on the menue there, but it's the perfect little size for us bandsters. The expression "Everything in moderation" applies here.

 From: 216  Now: 125   From: 38C Now: 32B From: Size 16  Now: Size 6

As   Northern Gals, who only get Sonic 2 times a year, my girl friend and I were SO looking forward to one of these in July as they are advertised on some of our tv channels...maybe if we added a scoop of prot. to it, LOL!!  Or we could save 8 cals a day (banking them up ) so we have them in July!  WW lets you bank for the week incase you have a night out... Yes I am trying to justify enjoying one of these..

OUCH!!!!!  That hurts.  I'm not much into coffee - but I love my Double Chocholately Chip Blended Cream Fraps at Starbucks (no coffee - all sugar).  Someone had the nerve to build a drivethru Strarbucks on my way to work.  I drive by that place EVERY day at it's like a battle against good and evil in my head every dang morning. So - I feel your pain - totally!

Diet = Did I Eat Thoughfully?
