Scientists have proven that coffee actually helps to lose weight if served in its pure form, without impurities and various additives. However, if you prefer to drink a beverage with cream, sugar, milk, or ice cream, you will not be able to put your figure in order. So, how many calories are in coffee and how to properly drink it to always stay slim, cheerful, and beautiful?
How Many Calories In Coffee?
What determines the caloric content of coffee? The answer is very simple: additives and the degree of roasting. More about calories:
- Pure coffee without additives (“Americano” or “espresso”) has almost no calories. If we talk about 100 ml of product, they have no more than two calories.
- Cappuccino consists of espresso, milk, and milk foam, so this coffee with milk, which is very high in calories, should not be drunk for weight loss. Without additives, it contains up to 90 kcal, but with milk and cream, their number increases to 220.
- Black coffee /Latte consists of coffee and foam milk. Caloric content is from 90 to 220 calories. The number of calories in black coffee and latte depends on the number of supplements.
- Instant coffee contains up to 18 kcal.
- Glace Coffee is the tastiest! Ice cream is added to this cold coffee according to the recipe, so the caloric content of the drink will be at least 130 kcal.
- Frappuccino is a combination of sweet syrup, milk, chocolate, and espresso, so there is a real boost of calories - up to 400 kcal.
Caloric Content Of Additives
Many coffee lovers ask: is sugar-free coffee high or low in calories? The answer is sure to please: low because the coffee itself contains almost no calories. However, when choosing supplements for your favorite drink, be careful because they significantly increase the number of calories:
- Just one teaspoon of sugar will increase the number of calories by 25.
- Packaging of cream, depending on the fat content, will increase the caloric content by 30-65 kcal.
- A spoon of chocolate syrup will boost calories to 17.
- Adding a portion of ice cream to your coffee, be ready to have about 115 kcal in a cup.
Speaking about calories, you shouldn’t think how many of them are in a cup of your coffee. Because, as it was said before, the pure drink has almost no calories.
