That's reason enough for me to stick with whole milk in my coffee - it's natural and creamy with less than half the fat of cream and the milk sugar adds a little sweetness, so I can skip the sweetener. A report in the February 2010 Journal of Nutrition reported that adding milk to coffee did not affect the antioxidant benefits, however, adding nondairy creamer with sugar did reduce absorption. There was some concern that adding milk to coffee decreased the absorption of these antioxidants. As a matter of fact, coffee contains antioxidants that have been shown to have numerous benefits. Speaking of sugar, I have been trying to cut the artificial sweetener habit and just have milk with my coffee.Ĭoffee can be a good addition to your healthy lifestyle. Read the label some of them are higher in calories due to added sugars. Don't think that a non-fat product is always lower in calories. Of course there are lots of non-fat dairy creamers and flavored products on the market that are lower in calories but higher in chemical additives. Even if I don't lose weight, these swaps could at least help me maintain my current weight. Providing I don't fill the void with a donut, those calories could translate to a nine-pound weight loss in a year - without even trying! If I wanted to travel even lower down the calorie road and switch to 1 percent milk, I could look forward to a possible 12-pound weight loss in a year. If I were to switch from half and half to whole milk (which is not as painful as you think) I would save 90 calories a day. The take-home message is that even small amounts of extra calories do make a difference. The calorie differences are mostly due to the amount fat in each product. Here's the approximate calorie count for a day's worth of my usual choices: Half and half cream, 180 calories whole milk, 90 calories 2 percent milk, 70 calories 1 percent milk, 60 calories nonfat milk, 45 calories. I figured that I use about 3 tablespoons per cup, so that's 9 tablespoons per day.

I won't tell you what I put in my coffee just yet.įor the sake of this exercise, we are going to stick with real-milk products only. On average, I consume three large decaffeinated coffees a day (about 10 ounces per cup).
I decided to investigate just how much difference the choice would make.
