I want you to think about the last coffee you enjoyed. Delicious? Soothing? Requires a 30-minute run to burn it off? WHAT! That’s right, your morning ritual of two cups before lunch could amount to a whopping 630 calories. When it comes to calories in coffee, the brew you choose takes a lot to burn.
A study by 12WBT has revealed the amount of calories hidden in eight popular coffees and how long you would have to run for to burn it off.
The monster of all mochas is the White Chocolate Mocha, which contains *330 calories in a regular cup – with full cream milk – and it would take over 30 minutes of running to burn it off. So don’t bother with the Choco Mocha.

An Iced Coffee with full cream milk has the second highest amount of calories with 249 and will set you back around 25 minutes of pounding the pavement.
If you want a coffee hit without the calories then grab an Espresso, which has only one calorie per regular cup. A Long Black will only set you back three calories, while a Piccolo Latte with full cream milk is 46 Calories.
To cut down on excess calories, 12WBT recommends you:
1. Choose a small serve
2. Go skinny – skimmed milk has roughly half the calories compared to full cream
3. Say “no” to extras – avoid adding sugar, whipped cream or shots of syrup
