After a casual conversation on calorie in take (more specifically “foofooy” coffee’s), this wasn’t he blog I wanted to run across on my nightly jaunts through my most frequented coffee blogs.
Brewed Coffee perused a topic I would have never ventured to begin. And though he did leave me hanging, once you start mite as well get every gross detail, I looked up all the calorie equivalencies for myself.
Mayo Clinic is very informational:
Coffee “extras”
(serving size 1 tablespoon)
Cream: Fat-6 Carbs-0 Calories-52
Half-and-Half: Fat-2 Carbs- 0 Calories- 20
Plain Nondairy Creamer: Fat-1.5 Carbs-2 Calories-20
(liquid)
Whole Milk: Fat- .5 Carbs-1 Calories-9
Fat Free Milk: Fat-0 Carbs-1 Calories-5
Sugar: Fat-0 Carbs-12 Calories-48
Starbucks Café Latte
Espresso (16 oz.)
Made with Whole Milk: Fat-14 Carbs-21 Calories-260
Made with Fat-Free: Fat-0 Carbs-24 Calories-160
Initially I didn’t want to get into all the artificial sweeteners but where is the fun in that.
Artificial Sweetener
Aspartame (NutraSweet, Equal): ADI-50 mg per kg Equivalent-18-19 cans of diet cola
Saccharine (Sweet’n’Low, SugarTwin): ADI-5 mg per kg Equivalent- 9-12 packs of sweetener
Acesulfame K: ADI-15 mg per kg Equivalent-30-32 cans diet lemon-line soda
Sucralose (Splenda): ADI-5 mg per kg Equivalent-6 cans diet cola
*Acceptable Daily Intake
So there you have it all the nasty sticky ins and outs of it.

UGH, I have been living on triple grande white chocolate mochas for the past year or so. Then I gained ten pounds. And freaked out. In analyzing my diet, I found that I was getting around 400 extra calories a day from my dearly beloved Starbucks drinks. Now I order my drink nonfat and no whip but it's still pretty anti-slimming. It's too bad that the "skinny mocha" tastes so horrible; the aftertaste kills me. But then so do the calories. The sugar-free caramel syrup isn't so bad, though...do you have any suggestions?
