With virtually no calories, no fat, and no carbohydrates, black coffee puts no dent in a diet. Even a dollop of low-fat milk and a teaspoon of sugar boost the nutrition numbers only slightly. But those frappu-, cappu-, mocha-things? Don't fool yourself. One of them can provide more than one-fourth of the total calories and more than one-third of the fat most people should consume in a day. The results of our look at a range of hot and iced coffee drinks from Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts are below. To save calories and fat, you can customize your brew. Using 2% milk instead of cream in a Dunkin' Donuts Coolatta, for example, saves 160 calories and 20 grams of fat. Skipping the whipped cream on many Starbucks drinks saves up to 130 calories and 12 grams of fat. Size also matters. Some drinks come in 20-ounce cups. Order a smaller version and the benefits are obvious.
Within groups, in order of calories, least to most.
