Is coffee making you gain weight?

Most of us have coffee everyday (or multiple times per day!) but how does this impact your weight/fat loss (if that’s what you’re into)?

SO! I am a black coffee drinker... Double Shot, probably 3 per day. It’s a fair amount of caffeine but it’s my one small thing, I don’t do soft drink or juice so coffee it is!

SO, LET’S TALK MILK

Almond, Soy, Lite/Skim, Coconut, Full Cream

Whats the difference apart from the obvious dairy/nondairyness 

Comparison based on 1 x 250ml Serve

• Almond Unsweetened – 40 Calories

• Soy – 134 Calories

• Skim Milk – 105 Calories

• Coconut Unsweetened – 61 Calories

• Full Cream – 167 Calories 

OK so, if you have 2 coffees per day with full cream milk, you are potentially adding an extra 334 Calories to your daily intake. Guys, that’s a whole meal. A whole extra meal of calories in a drink (a fabulous drink) but a drink nonetheless. 

Whereas a black coffee has just 3-4 calories.

I am not silly, this is not going to make you stop drinking coffee, that would be crazy and totally insane!

However, those extra calories can add up, say you have a cookie with your morning coffee, you could be up another 200cal. Considering the recommended “average” daily calorie intake for women is approx 1300 calories, that could be 38% of your daily calories taken up with 2 coffees and a cookie!

This is not to say coffee or milk is bad. They’re great. Just giving you some calorie info.
