# Comparative Caffeine Infographics This 'I Love Coffee' Blogger Counts Starbucks Calories By Davina Sinnatamby | Published 2014-03-20 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-love-coffee-blogger References: [elitedaily](http://elitedaily.com/life/think-your-latte-is-skinny-compare-starbucks-drinks-calories-to-junk-foods-infographic/) & [en.ilovecoffee.jp](http://en.ilovecoffee.jp/) 'I Love Coffee' blogger Ryoko reminds us that drinking [Starbucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-frappuccino-caramel-no-added-sugar) coffee isn't always more healthy than eating [McDonald's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orange-chocolate-frappe). Ryoko created an infographic that compares the calories in our favorite Starbucks drinks to the calories in the junk food we try to avoid. The statistics reveal some disturbing facts about the drinks we thought were the healthier option. Drinking one [cafe latte](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-multiserve) is as bad as eating pizza and a peppermint white chocolate mocha has the same amount of calories as almost four cans of coke. The infographic is basically like playing a game of would you rather, and the question is would you rather indulge in greasy snacks or liquid desserts? The answer: who cares, they're both bad for you. I wish this infographic was more of a wake up call, but unfortunately, Starbucks is just too delicious to avoid. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Comparative Caffeine Consumption:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating healthier alternatives to popular caffeinated drinks. - **Calorie Awareness:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing low-calorie options for popular beverages and food items. - **Transparency in Food Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Building platforms or apps that provide nutritional information and comparisons for various food and beverage brands. ### Who This Affects Most - **Beverage Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Exploring the creation of innovative and healthier beverages that cater to conscious consumers. - **Fast Food Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introducing healthier menu options in fast food chains to address the calorie-conscious consumer demand. - **Healthtech Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing technology solutions that provide real-time nutritional data and comparisons to promote healthier choices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Candy Bar Coffee Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iced-coffee-mocha-latte.md) - [Low-Sugar Cafe Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-frappuccino-caramel-no-added-sugar.md) - [Cola-Infused Frappuccinos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cola-frappuccino.md) - [Creamy Coffee Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skinnyccino-coffee-beverages.md) - [Astrological Cafe Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-star-signs.md) - [Canned Espresso Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flat-white-canned.md) - [Caffeine Tracker Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caffeine-intake.md) - [Ready-to-Drink Protein Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-protein-drink-with-coffee.md) - [Coffee-Free Chocolate Cafe Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-milk-chocolate.md)
