Sugar calculation - do I have this right?

Hi everyone,

This is my first post here.

I normally drink a mocha light frappuccino with almond milk and 2 extra pumps of mocha (sometimes 3, so 6 or 7 in total). I added up the calories a long time ago and know that it comes to around 220 calories, which I can happily fit into my daily allowance.

However, I'm now becoming more health conscious so I thought I would add up the amount of sugar in this 'lighter version' of the drink. A grande ML frappuccino contains 28g of sugar, and with about 10g difference between each size, I can guess that the venti size contains about 38g of sugar. Then adding in my three extra mocha pumps, this comes to 48.5g of sugar. [on the nutrition info for Starbucks, I am looking at the 'total sugars' column].

If there are 4.2g of sugar in a teaspoon, then at 48.5 / 4.2, am I eating 10.5 teaspoons of sugar...FOR BREAKFAST?!

I'm not the best at maths, so I've made an embarrassing error in my calculations, could someone let me know?
