You're not the only one who needs to grab a coffee (or two) to function or think about commuting or talking to a coworker in the morning. Millions of us turn to the coffee pot every morning, groggy and bleary-eyed. Ping! We are awake and ready to face the day. Coffee is not inherently unhealthy. It is in fact rich in antioxidants, which help improve our mood and keep us healthy. The amount of calories we consume depends on how we choose to drink our coffee. If we drink extra-large cups of coffee with high-calorie dairy milks, calorific nut milks, sugar, and fancy syrups, we are consuming a large amount of calories. We could be setting ourselves up to exceed our daily calorie intake if we consume one of these fancy coffees alongside another unhealthy breakfast choice. On the other hand, if we only eat black coffee for breakfast, not only are we in a calorie deficit, feeling less energetic, but we are also missing out on the important nutrients, fiber, and protein that a balanced, healthy diet provides.
