How Many Calories in Coffee

I want you to think about the last coffee you enjoyed. Delicious? Soothing? Requires a 30-minute run to burn it off? WHAT! That’s right, your daily ritual of two cups before lunch could amount to a whopping 630 calories! When it comes to calories in coffee, the brew you choose takes a lot to burn.

A study by 12WBT has revealed the amount of calories hidden in eight popular coffees – and how long you would have to run for to burn it off.

The monster of all coffees is the White Chocolate Mocha, which contains *330 calories in a regular cup – with full-cream milk – and would take over 30 minutes of running to burn it off. So don’t bother with the Choco Mocha!

An Iced Coffee with full-cream milk has the second highest amount of calories, with 249 and will set you back around 25 minutes of pounding the pavement.

If you want a coffee hit without the calories then grab an Espresso, which has only one calorie per regular cup. A Long Black will only set you back three calories, while a Piccolo Latte with full-cream milk contains 46 Calories.

3 Tips to Cut Down on Excess Coffee Calories

1. Choose a small serve.
2. Go skinny – skimmed milk has roughly half the calories of full-cream milk.
3. Say “no” to extras – avoid adding sugar, whipped cream or shots of syrup.
