Answer 1

The trans fats are what I look at most and since it has 0 I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just don't have too much of it in one day though.

Answer 2

A few other things to look at -
Fiber - the higher the fiber, the more it counteracts the fat grams. This is a major rule of thumb that the weight watchers program follows. Also, even though it says "0 trans fat", look at "saturated fat" - if it has saturated fat, it has trans fat. There is a level of trans fat allowed before it is listed as anything besides "0". That can be Palm Oil, Coconut Oil, etc.
Also, drink lots of water!

Answer 3

5 grams of fat isn't bad... what's the protein? If there's very little protein (like none at all), then this is not the best fat -- it's the kind of fat that will not be productively broken down, but will go right to your hips!

Answer 4

One glass won't hurt you, but it is just one part of your diet. If you are on a particular fitness regimen or diet, you need to take into account whatever other limitations you might have. For example, it is not exactly the type of drink that someone on a low-carb diet would date. If you are counting fat grams, you just need to watch what else you eat.

Answer 5

It would depend on the size you are talking about, like is that for 2oz or for 6oz, it would depend. But it does not sound that bad, I mean 5grams of fat is not too much.

Answer 6

If its a milkshake then it definetely doesn't sound too unhealthy at all!
Usually milkshakes are much more fattening and have so many more calories!!
