Black coffee and Americanos have virtually zero calories while delivering full caffeine benefits.
Swap whole milk for skim milk to save 60 calories, or use unsweetened almond milk (15 cal per cup).
Sugar-free vanilla or caramel syrups add flavor without the 20 calories per pump of regular syrups.
Whipped cream adds 80-120 calories to your drink. Ask for it to be left off or on the side.

Black coffee has only 2 calories per 8oz cup with no added cream, sugar, or flavorings. This makes it one of the lowest-calorie beverages available, and a great choice for those watching their calorie intake while still enjoying caffeine.
A 16oz latte made with whole milk has about 190 calories. Using skim milk reduces this to about 130 calories, while oat milk comes in around 170 calories. Adding flavored syrups adds 20 calories per pump (usually 4-6 pumps in a 16oz drink), so a vanilla latte can easily reach 250+ calories.
Black coffee can support weight loss as it has virtually no calories and caffeine may boost metabolism by 3-11%. Caffeine can also suppress appetite temporarily. However, adding cream, sugar, and syrups can turn a 2-calorie drink into a 300+ calorie beverage, so stick to black or low-calorie additions.
One tablespoon of heavy cream adds 52 calories, half-and-half adds 20 calories, and one teaspoon of sugar adds 16 calories. A typical coffee with 2 tbsp cream and 2 tsp sugar has about 135 extra calories. Using skim milk and artificial sweetener can reduce this to nearly zero.
The FDA recommends no more than 400mg of caffeine per day for healthy adults, which is about 4 cups of brewed coffee. Pregnant women should limit intake to 200mg. Signs of too much caffeine include jitters, anxiety, rapid heartbeat, and trouble sleeping.
