See the nutritional impact of your coffee habit.
Black coffee has just 5 calories per cup. But specialty coffee drinks can pack a meal's worth of calories: a Grande Caramel Frappuccino has 420 calories and 59g sugar (15 teaspoons!) — more sugar than a can of Coke. A daily Frappuccino adds 153,000 calories per year, equivalent to 20 kg of body fat. Simple swaps: request sugar-free syrup (saves 80-150 cal), swap whole milk for skim/oat milk (saves 50-80 cal), skip whipped cream (saves 70-110 cal), or ask for fewer pumps (each pump = 20 cal, 5g sugar). The healthiest additions: a splash of milk or unsweetened plant milk, cinnamon (zero cal, adds sweetness perception), or a single pump of vanilla. Your daily coffee ritual, multiplied over years, has a significant cumulative nutritional impact.
