By Dianne Villano, CPFI - Custom Bodies
Plain coffee has virtually no calories and is often used for that morning or pre workout energy boost. Most experts agree that a cup or two of coffee is safe for most people. Here are a few shockers that may be keeping you from reaching your weight loss goals. Depending on the type of milk and other ingredients a large latte can range from 250 to over 500 calories. Remember, if you eat 100 calories a day more than you burn, you will gain 10 pounds a year! Most food plans call for 500 calories/day less than maintenance to burn 1-2 pounds of fat per week and you can blow that with just one fancy little cup of coffee!!! Being these numbers you will be able to, if you care to count them into your food plan. The key, here is to be aware. Here are the numbers in a few categories from worst to best.
