Many Americans are addicted to their mocha, latte or cappuccino. But what many of them may not know is that their morning coffee could be making them fat. A single white chocolate mocha with whipped cream can have more calories than a Big Mac and more fat than 100 grams of chocolate.
The fact that coffee is a drink means that many dieters don't even think about the calorie or fat content. After all, it is a drink and you should be concentrating on food, right? Well, considering that a large cappuccino contains 220 calories just a few coffee a day can seriously put a dent into your daily caloric limit. And just dropping your daily consumption of coffee or changing your preferences can make a huge difference to put your calorie intake and waist line.
Furthermore, coffee made from full cream milk has a high saturated fat content and this can cause problems with cholesterol.
Thankfully, there are some ways that you can still enjoy your daily coffee and not worry about the calories.
Firstly, try drinking black coffee. It is not for everyone but give it a week or so and see if you can get use to the taste. Try avoiding sweetening the black coffee with sugar. Just one sachet of sugar is around 20 calories and this can add up over the day if you have a number of beverages.
Secondly, if you can't drink black coffee, opt for skim milk. This type of milk can reduce the calories by up to 100 and has almost no saturated fat. Just be careful however, as many cafés say that use skim milk but it really is only reduced fat. The key is to find a coffee outlet that will serve your drink the way you want and that you're confident in how they brew.
Thirdly, reduce the size of the coffee that you drink. With a cappuccino, the calorie content almost doubles from a small size (121 calories) to a large (220). Dropping down to a small size is a quick and easy way to halve your calorie intake and overtime you'll get use to the smaller beverage.
In conclusion, if you are having trouble losing weight even when you are watching what you eat it may worthwhile to examine your coffee intake. Choosing smartly when it comes to coffee can have a big impact on your calorie intake.
