Many people are hesitant about the calorie content in coffee. Though not all coffee has a high calorie. Coffee, without any additional, essentially a zero-calorie beverage. According to the USDA nutrient data base, each 8 oz of coffee brewed from the powder containing only 2 cal. A number of calories come from protein and monounsaturated oils contained in small amounts in coffee.
When we talk about the high calories in coffee, basically we are talking about additional material that is inserted into it, eg milk, cream, sugar or syrup. A cup of coffee with sugar and cream amounted to 120 calories. While the coffee you get from famous coffee outlets, greater certainly calories. For example, the caramel macchiato or frappuccino. Did you know that a cup of frappuccino can reach 680 calories? That means more than a third of calorie intake, for one day.
If you prefer to buy coffee in stores, order a black coffee (5 calories), then add a little skim milk. For the type of espresso coffee, ask for skim milk in a latte or cappuccino you ordered. Try reducing the flavored latte, made with a sweet syrup and of course high in calories. You are the one who should regulate the amount of calories.
If we try to reduce the number of calories of coffee for a weight loss, it's time to save the use of sugar. The best option is to drink coffee Americano (espresso + water). Believe it or not drink espresso contains less caffeine than brewed coffee. By minimizing the extra material that is inserted into the coffee, it means we have lowered the number of calories, to succeed in your diet program.
