How it fits into a day
An espresso without sugar has only about 5 kcal in a 30 ml cup, so it barely shows in your daily total. The calories come with what you add: sugar, milk or whipped cream.
A usual serving (1 cup) is less than 1% of a 2,000 kcal day. How much do you need a day? Work it out in the calorie calculator.
Lighter options
- A teaspoon of sugar adds about 20 kcal, so three sweetened coffees a day carry about 60 kcal.
- Measure the milk: 50 ml of milk is about 30 kcal.
