Coffee Calories

Coffee is a beloved beverage worldwide, but many coffee drinkers wonder: how many calories are in your morning brew? The answer depends on how you take your coffee. Plain black coffee is virtually calorie-free, containing roughly 2 calories per cup due to trace amounts of protein and oil. However, add-ins like sugar, cream, flavored syrups, or milk can quickly increase coffee calories.

For example, a tablespoon of heavy cream adds about 52 calories, while a teaspoon of sugar contributes 16. Fancy coffee-shop creations like lattes, frappuccinos, or macchiatos can range from 100 to over 500 calories depending on the size and ingredients. These drinks often contain syrups, whipped cream, and additional sugar, making them calorie-heavy indulgences.

If you’re trying to monitor your calorie intake, consider switching to lower-calorie alternatives such as almond milk or sugar-free syrups, or simply enjoy your coffee black.
