How many calories does a cup of coffee contain? Does drinking coffee make you fat?

According to the British "Daily Mail" report, 34-year-old Japanese female blogger Ryoko Iwata, who lives in Seattle, USA, loves to drink coffee. Recently, her blog has attracted many people's attention. Chain-store coffees (especially fancy coffees) are generally high in calories, she said, suggesting people choose black coffee (black coffee) without added sugar, milk and other ingredients.

"A large mocha coffee contains as many calories as my meal."

Iwata Ryoko listed six coffees in her blog post and marked the calories contained in each coffee in the form of a schematic diagram. Take a cup of matcha latte (large cup, about 473 ml) as an example, it contains 350 calories, equivalent to a McDonald's fries; while mint white chocolate mocha coffee, calories up to 520 calories, equivalent to 3.7 cans of Coke…

These statistics have left many coffee lovers "stunned".

"I always thought matcha latte was a healthy drink, but I didn't expect it to be so high in calories," one netizen said. Another netizen said: "An extra large mocha coffee contains as many calories as my meal!" Some people praised: "Comparing drinks and food in the form of pictures is very intuitive!"

Where does the heat come from?

Coffee itself is a healthy drink, with few calories, says Ms Iwata. But fancy coffee is often added with ingredients such as sugar, milk and chocolate, which increases the calories in the coffee drink. She suggests that when people drink coffee, it's best to "slim it down", such as choosing black coffee without any ingredients.

How many calories does fancy coffee contain? The reporter checked the information and found that a large cup of vanilla frappuccino coffee (mixed with coffee, milk, sugar, ice, etc.), for example, contains about 300 calories, including 3 grams of fat (29 calories), 66 grams of carbohydrates (264 calories), and 3 grams of protein (12 calories). If you add whipped cream to your coffee, it has a total of 430 calories.
