Three sweet cups of office chai and a few biscuits through the afternoon can add up to about 380 kcal - as much as a small meal. Ask for less sugar and keep a lighter snack at your desk, and you can cut that nearly in half without giving up your tea break.

Chai is just tea - it barely has any calories.
mostly false
Mostly false. The tea leaves are near zero - about 2 kcal a cup. But office chai is boiled with milk and two spoons of sugar, so one cup lands around 70 kcal. Drink three sweet cups and nibble six small biscuits through a meeting afternoon, and you've quietly had about 380 kcal - close to a small meal. The chai itself isn't the villain; it's the sugar in the cup and the biscuits that ride along.
