How Many Calories Are In Your Morning Coffee?
and Is your morning caffeine fix making you fat?
Your daily coffee stop is probably not helping your diet. A lot of us stop by our local Starbucks on the way to work for a cup of coffee. While coffee itself barely has any calories, everything we add to it can pack on the unnecessary calories.
If the morning lines at every Dunkin’ Donuts are telling us anything, a lot of people are masking the coffee taste with flavors and syrups, replacing coffee with calories as their daily caffeine intake. Did you know that a frappuccino can have up to 680 calories!? That’s over a third of your daily calorie intake; I won’t be ordering any mint chocolatey chip frappuccinos any time soon!
The ever-popular pumpkin spice latte, available seasonally, has 410 calories in it. If you are craving this fall treat, at least hold the whipped cream, and lower the calorie count to 340. If Dunkin Donuts is your morning stop, a small coffee with cream and sugar will only set you back 120 calories, but that’s still 120 calories for a drink that won’t even fill you up.
