Do you enjoy treating yourself to a Starbuck’s but are now worried about just how much they are costing you on the calorie front? Well you may be interested to learn that Weight Watchers points for Starbucks coffee is now available as they have been included in the Weight Watchers Restaurant Points scheme.

The Weight Watchers Restaurant Points is a list of some of America’s more popular restaurants and on which they provide the point values of a selection of meals and drinks. This list is provided in their Dining Out Companion booklet and is small enough to fit into any size purse. This means that no matter where they are people involved with Weight Watchers can keep a track on what foods they are eating.

As Starbuck’s is one of the most popular places for people to stop for a coffee and chat with their friends it was decided that they should be included in this booklet from Weight Watchers as well.
