Does coffee have any cals?!


Question: Coffee has gone beyond basic black. Whether you make it yourself or sip it at your favorite coffee bar, you can choose from plain, flavored, whipped, topped, iced and even frozen versions. A plain cup of brewed coffee contains zero fat and only a couple of calories. But it's how you "dress up" your coffee with "extras" that can make a difference in its fat, sugar and calorie count.

What goes into the brew that you buy at your local coffee bar also matters. For example, here's how your choice of milk affects the calories, fat and carbohydrate content of a 16-ounce cup of latte at one popular coffee franchise.

Not sure about black, but if you use cream and sugar it absolutely does.

coffee is supposed to be a non calorie drink. however you add calories when u add milk and sugar

coffee does have oil in it but not much. Weight watchers counts it as a zero.

Plain old black coffee is calorie free. Adding a sweet n' low or Equal still makes it 0 calories. All the macho cappa frappas are hot milkshakes with equivalent calories.

I don't believe that it does, as long as it is black.

Not unless you add things to it. Creamer, Sugar, Flavoring. Any and all would change that.
