Iced Coffee Same Calories As A Small Meal

The BBC reports that the popular Frappucinno style iced coffee drinks mostly contain at least 200 calories and some in excess of 400. That is apparently a quarter of a woman´s recommended daily intake. Cancer research organisations are trying to get people to reduce calory intake since obesity increases cancer risk.
They used to say that a pint of Guinness was equivalent to a small meal and looking around, a UK pint (20 fluid ounces) of this is about 200-250 calories. However it contains antioxidants, no fat, and has some protein value too. I´m damned sure you don´t get Frappucinnos by the pint, in which case the Guinness wins when it comes to a calorie controlled diet. Cheers!
