A Starbucks "tall" (which is the smallest one--ironic, huh? ) would be a better option. I THINK the carb count for a tall breve with SF vanilla would be about 8 carbs, as it only includes about a cup of half and half due to steaming, plus the space the espresso takes up. I don't think it's that bad of an option, especially if you're the type who can't bring themselves to have breakfast. How it would affect you weight loss is another story; I'm not the best person to give advice on that, as my insulin resistance is very low (I can eat 100 g a day and not gain weight...I could probably go higher, but it makes me feel crappy).

But, Lawyer, I think if you're really craving something "fruity" you might want to add that 5 gram increment into your diet. Strawberries and cream, yum! You might find, like I did during OWL, that I didn't lose any less weight at slightly higher carb counts than induction.
