Starbucks is easily one of the most famous places people consume their coffee, but having said that, there is no doubt there are outrageously high in calorie Starbucks drinks that have people packing on the pounds.
Due to this, people end up consuming a significant amount of calories, and frankly a lot of it from sugar.
This does not mean you should close your eyes whenever you drive by a Starbucks.
Nor does it mean you should avoid it forever because that is not sustainable.
However, avoiding these outrageously high in calorie Starbucks drinks can help you achieve your fat loss goals a lot easier.
I hope you enjoy this article below!
P.S. I am writing this article at Starbucks.
1. Salted Caramel Mocha (Venti)
If you are really looking to increase your calorie intake and get as far away as you can come from a calorie deficit, then consuming the Venti salted caramel mocha with 2% milk and whip can do that for you.
By consuming 1 of these you will be consuming 570 calories, which happens to have 73 grams of sugar in it!!
This in no can help you achieve your fat loss goals.
But, does this mean you cannot have it at all?
When dieting it is important to find filling foods because you will get hungry during a fat loss phase.
Therefore, maybe the odd time you can have half the amount, but even then you would have to be careful because drinks like this are not very filling.
And with them not being very filling, it is easy to go into a caloric surplus!
Macronutrients and Calories Summary:
- Calories: 570
- Fat: 19 grams
- Carbs: 84 grams
- Protein: 17 grams
- Sugar: 73 grams
2. White Hot Chocolate (Venti)
If you are on the hunt for the highest calorie Starbucks drink, then you will not have to look any further because it is the Venti White Hot Chocolate with whole milk and whipped cream.
This is the highest calorie drink item you can get at 640 calories!
How much sugar does it contain?
78 grams!
Some people don’t even consume that much sugar in a whole day!
Of course, with these calories and sugar being so high, consuming this is a sure-fire way to take yourself out of a calorie deficit and over-consume for the day.
Macronutrients and Calories Summary:
- Calories: 640
- Fat: 28 grams
- Carbs: 78 grams
- Protein: 19 grams
- Sugar: 78 grams
3. Hot Chocolate
Hot chocolate in the winter times is a norm for some but it can definitely creep in calories very easily.
Though hot chocolate seems innocent and all, but when you look at the calories, you end up looking at the screen with your eyes wide open.
A Venti hot chocolate with whole milk and whipped added into it gets you whopping 550 calories!
When dieting and in a fat loss phase, to spend 550 calories on hot chocolate is absurd!
Why is it absurd?
You will not feel full at all because of the lack of protein and fiber in hot chocolate.
For this reason, when you are looking to burn away body fat, staying away from this particular order would be ideal.
Macronutrients and Calories Summary:
- Calories: 550
- Fat: 24 grams
- Carbs: 66 grams
- Protein: 17 grams
- Sugar: 57 grams
4. Double Chocolaty Chip Frappuccino
I have personally never had this but by the way, this sounds it definitely seems like it would taste amazing.
However, the calories definitely would add up.
If you ended up getting the Venti Iced Double Chocolaty Chip Creme Frappuccino with whole milk and whip added, you would be consuming a whopping 540 calories.
Given these points, this is in no way ideal to consume when looking to lose weight!
Macronutrients and Calories Summary:
- Calories: 540
- Fat: 23 grams
- Carbs: 76 grams
- Protein: 9 grams
- Sugar: 69 grams
5. Eggnog Latte
Eggnog, in general, becomes very popular around the holiday season.
The holiday season is where people tend to let loose as well.
If you are okay with putting on a little bit of body fat around that time then you can go ahead and let loose.
However, if you want to stay on top of your fat loss, then be careful of the eggnog latte.
Why do I say be careful of the eggnog latte?
Well, the calories are higher than some whole meals at 630 calories!
This is no doubt one of the highest calorie items you can consume from the bucks.
Now, imagine if you had a 300 calories breakfast and you went to Starbucks a couple of hours later to meet with someone.
Let’s say you choose to get the Venti Eggnog Latte with Whole and you finished it all.
By the time you eat your next meal, you are already at almost 1000 calories consumed.
Now let’s say your calorie deficit budget is 1500 calories. I can only imagine how much of a struggle the rest of the day would be knowing you can really only eat one more meal that is filling and satisfying.
For this reason, it is important to simplify your drink choices when you are in a diet phase.
Macronutrients and Calories Summary:
- Calories: 630
- Fat: 28 grams
- Carbs: 74 grams
- Protein: 24 grams
- Sugar: 68 grams

7. Iced White Chocolate Mocha
Second, on the list of high-calorie Starbucks is the Iced White Chocolate Mocha.
With it coming in at 630 calories, you can see how this can do some serious damage to your diet.
And sugar wise, it’s not very friendly either with 79 grams of sugar.
Ultimately, if you are looking to ruin your diet, then consuming this many calories and sugar will do that for you!

- Calories: 630
- Fat: 27 grams
- Carbs: 84 grams
- Protein: 15 grams

8. Caffe Vanilla Frappuccino
If you were wondering what drink contains the most amount of sugar in it, well this is it.
A Venti Cafe Vanilla Frappuccino with whole milk and whipped cream has a Starbucks high 91 grams of sugar!!
With the lethal dosage that can kill 50% of the population being 400 grams in one sitting, to be getting close to a 100 grams, that sure can have some negative side effects.
Moreover, check out this video by Dr. Layne Norton where he dives more into detail about sugar.

9. Java Chip Frappuccino
The Java Chip Frappuccino cracks the 600+ calorie mark which makes it in the top 3 of the high in calorie Starbucks drinks!
However, this cracks the top 2 for the most amount of sugar in a Starbucks drink per gram at 88 grams!
Having the Venti Java Chip Frappuccino with whole milk and whip gets you to the 600 calorie mark.
For this reason, avoid this Frappuccino when looking to achieve your fitness goals!
Macronutrients and Calories Summary:
- Calories: 600
- Fat: 22 grams
- Carbs: 96 grams
- Protein: 8 grams
- Sugar: 88 grams
Last Words
All in all, when dieting consuming these high-calorie Starbucks drinks is probably not the most optimal thing you can do.
The majority of these drinks are high in calories and sugar, but they are also low in protein and fiber.
Protein and fiber are vital when you are in a fat loss phase due to you feeling hungry often when cutting calories.
This is why I wrote about the ways you can actually reduce hunger when dieting and you can check it out by clicking here.
All things considered, avoiding these outrageously high in calorie Starbucks drinks is key if you want to lose weight easier.
