    Starbucks Macros: The Macro-Counting Client's Order Guide

    A "quick coffee" at Starbucks can quietly cost 500 calories, or it can hand your client 40g of protein for under 450. The order is everything. Here are the macros — and the exact drinks and food to pick.

    Coaches: clients hit Starbucks daily. With MacroFuel, they can ask Max what to order based on the macros they have left for the day.

    Macros are based on standard Grande servings from Starbucks' published menu nutrition. Approximate — seasonal recipes and regional menus can vary. Always check current nutrition info if needed.
