Calories In Iced Coffee

A plain, unsweetened iced coffee is a fantastic low-calorie choice. For a large 16-ounce serving, you can expect only about 5 calories. This makes black iced coffee a great option if you're using a calorie counter or aiming for a calorie deficit. These minimal calories come from compounds in the coffee beans. Since it's mostly water, it has no fat or sugar, making it one of the simplest low calorie drinks available.

Iced Coffee Additions

The question of "how many calories" changes with additions. A splash of whole milk might add 20 calories, while cream can add over 100. Each teaspoon of sugar contributes around 16 calories. Flavored syrups are even denser. A single pump can contain 20-50 calories of added sugar. Heavily customized iced coffees can easily turn into high-calorie, dessert-like drinks, rivaling the calorie count of a small meal.

Tracking Your Drink

If you're asking "how many calories should I eat," being mindful of beverage calories is key. Using a calorie calculator for your coffee helps. Logging each addition—milk, sugar, and syrups—reveals the full picture. This is especially useful for maintaining a calorie deficit for weight loss. Opting for non-fat milk or sugar-free syrups helps keep your iced coffee a genuine low calorie snack or treat.

Coffee's Nutrients

Beyond caffeine, coffee offers nutritional benefits. It contains antioxidants that help protect your cells. It is also a source of several vitamins and minerals. A large iced coffee provides a notable amount of Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) and also offers Niacin (Vitamin B3), potassium, and magnesium, contributing to your daily nutrient intake, making it a surprisingly beneficial beverage choice.
