Calories in Coffee Beans

HereLieWe

I've been looking all over for calories in roasted coffee beans. I like to make my own chocolate covered ones, but since I'm on a keto diet, I don't want to accidentally go over my carb count by eating them. I'm mainly worried about the coffee beans themselves, not the chocolate, which I can easily measure. Where can I find the carb count for coffee beans?

Considering there's about 1 calorie per 8 oz cup of black coffee, I'd say it's pretty negligible.

But that's just from what the water extracts from the beans themselves. I'm going to be eating the beans.

I saw that, but the nutrition facts for 20g compared to 1 ounce are completely different, leading me to have trouble believing either entry.

Because 20g =/= 1 oz...20g is .71 ounces...

1 oz is 28 grams not 20

I realize that. I mean the carb count. You'll see that 20g is 80 calories and 17 carbs, while 1 ounce is 85 calories and 13 carbs with 11 of those being dietary fiber. Even the calorie count is off: if 20g is 80 calories, it is 4 calories per gram; if 1 ounce is 85 calories, it is 3.03 calories per gram.
