Share: Are You Watching Your Calorie-Intake at Starbucks?

Starbucks announced on Tuesday that it will include calorie information on the menu boards at all U.S. Starbucks stores beginning Tuesday, June 25. 

The calorie count labels would apply to the listed drinks on the menu and food in the pastry case. Chain restaurants in King County had been making nutritional information available as far back as 2009, according to this KING5 story, but depending on where in the county you are, your local Starbucks may or may not have this information on the menu board.

Are you less likely to order some of the drinks or food with the information on the menu? Tell us in the comments below.

According to the Seattle-based company, each beverage will be listed as a standard recipe, but customers are welcome to customize the drinks to their liking. 

Here are some of the products with their calorie information.
