Do you need a cup of coffee every morning to begin a hectic day at work? Coffee is rich in substances that stimulate the nervous system, and that’s why so many people can’t do without their delicious coffee drink on their way to work. However, it’s important to know how to make the best choices when it comes to coffee.
Caffeine is responsible for making you feel alert and more energetic when you begin your daily activities. However, there is more than caffeine in these drinks. There is a wide variety of coffee-based beverages that may contain high-calorie ingredients. These calories may be adding calories to your diet plan without you knowing it.
You should choose the type of drink that will provide the least amount of calories. The key is in the ingredients used to prepare it. Coffee drinks such as cappuccino, latte, and mocca contain milk, chocolate, and often whipped cream, which add many calories and fat. On the other hand, espresso or percolated coffees are very low in calories. Here are some examples of commercial coffee beverages and their caloric content.
