Make a Coffee Station at You Desk

Do Liquid Calories Fill You Up as Much as Solid Calories?

In a time crunch, some of us may head to Jamba Juice for a smoothie lunch substitute. While you are certainly getting plenty of calories in your smoothie, is it filling you up like a solid lunch would? A recent study says not so much.
