Iced Coffee Calories

The calories mainly depend on the ingredients used to make coffee. If you ever go to dedicated coffee houses like Starbucks, you will find a wide variety of iced caffeine kickers for you to choose from.

The calorie content depends on the amount of sugar, whether or not the coffee has cream, whether it contains regular milk or skim milk, and if there is any additional flavoring. Additional flavors in the coffee are often sugar syrup-based, which add more calories.

Here is the calorie content in a cup of coffee according to its ingredients.

As frugal as it can be, a 16 fl.oz. cup of iced coffee and skim milk will give you only 25 calories. This is quite a guilt-free choice considering its low calorie content. The fat content is almost negligible, and the carb content is only 4 g.

The previous beverage had no hint of sugar. However, if you would rather not go sugar-free, then substitute regular milk with skim milk. However, the calorie content increases by more than just a spoonful. The sugar adds a lot of carbohydrates to your coffee, and therefore, a lot more calories. A 16 fl.oz. cup contains 70 calories and 16 g of carbohydrates.

Skim milk just doesn't do for some of us. So much so that people are ready to rid themselves of it, even if it means an intake of a few extra calories in return. So how much is the calorific trade-off between a sugar-free iced coffee with skim milk, and the one with regular milk?

A measly 5 calories! So if you're adamant on your choice of milk, there really isn't much to lose. 5 calories and the extra 1 g of fat seems like a fair price to pay.

A 16 fl.oz. cup of iced coffee with regular milk and sugar contains 80 calories. The fat content in this one is 1 g, whereas the carb content is 16 g.

Remember, the calorie content mainly depends on the ingredients you use. Just use the right ingredients to ensure your drink is low in calories.
