Coffee & Calories

I am so confused!?!?!

Does coffee (plain, nothing added) have calories??

I cannot seem to find a conclusive answer. Depending on what coffee you pick you can have anywhere between 0-30 calories for a black cup of coffee. I googled it and found the same thing. Does anyone know for sure??

I was shocked this morning when I add my breakfast this morning that according to MFP 1 cup of black coffee has 2 calories a cup.That's not much unless you dring a lot of it like I do.:noway: Guess I will have to cup back on the coffee.:sad: :sad:

I hope the above post is being sarcastic :drinker:

Regular black coffee is really a calorie free food like tea. It is such a small amount of calories and you pee them out.

Even if you drink 4-5 cups of (black) coffee a day, the 10 calories surely isn't going to break the bank. I've never logged coffee, just the creamer I use.

yup. 5 calories per 8 ounce cup

Are you serious? You are worried about 2 calories a cup??

Anyway, to the OP...yes I believe it is about 2 calories per cup of most regular coffees.

you probably burn more than 2 calories each time you go to fill up your cup

That is one way of looking at it Fieldsy. I use to drink two pots of coffee a day. The two calories aren't as bad as the sodium. Sodium in black coffee? Go figure. Sodium is my biggest enemt.:laugh:
