How many calories are in a chocolate milkshake?

A thick chocolate shake is 119 calories per 100g, so the 300g cup USDA measures is 357 calories and a regular cup is 270. A vanilla milkshake runs slightly lighter at 112 calories per 100g.

How much sugar is in a chocolate milkshake?

20.9g per 100g, which puts about 63g in a 300g shake. That is the entire day's added sugar allowance for most adults in one cup, and chain shakes are usually larger than the one measured here.

Chocolate milkshake vs chocolate milk?

Not close. A shake is 119 calories per 100g against chocolate milk's 83, and 20.9g of sugar per 100g against 9.5g. The ice cream in a shake is what moves both numbers. Fat runs the other way, 2.7g per 100g here against chocolate milk's 3.4g, which is the only figure that favours the shake.

Is a milkshake worse than ice cream?

By weight, no: ice cream is 207 calories per 100g against a shake's 119, because a shake is mostly milk. By serving it flips, since nobody eats 300g of ice cream in one go and a 300g shake disappears in five minutes.

Is a chocolate milkshake keto-friendly?

No, and not close. Net carbs are 20.9g per 100g, so a 300g shake is about 63g, which is several days' allowance on strict keto. There is no portion of this that works; the drink is sugar and milk sugar by construction.

Does a milkshake have any nutrition worth counting?

Some, and it is real. 3.1g of protein and 132mg of calcium per 100g means a 300g shake carries 9g of protein and about 400mg of calcium, plus 1mcg of vitamin D. That is a genuine contribution attached to 357 calories, which is the trade.

Is a milkshake a good post workout drink?

The ratio is poor. 3.1g of protein against 20.9g of sugar per 100g means the 300g shake delivers 9g of protein for 357 calories. Chocolate milk gets talked about for recovery because it carries 3.2g of protein per 100g at only 83 calories per 100g, which is a different drink.

How does a chain milkshake compare to these numbers?

Scale by weight rather than trusting the cup size on the menu. This is 119 calories per 100g, so a 16 oz shake lands near 540 calories and a 24 oz one near 800. Whipped cream and syrup on top are extra on all of them.
