The answer depends on how you take your coffee

cup of coffee

Black coffee is an integral part of my daily morning routine, especially during periods when I am practicing intermittent fasting. Since coffee comprises about 98% water, which contains no calories, it logically makes sense that coffee is a low-calorie drink. But have you ever wondered if there are any calories at all in your morning cup of joe? And if so, are those calories impacting your health efforts? Here, we'll break down the answer to "does coffee have calories?" and explore the calorie content of popular coffees so you can know exactly just how many calories you consume from java a day.
Does coffee have calories?

The question "does coffee have calories?" depends on the type of coffee you're asking about. If the definition of coffee means "black coffee" to you, then the calories in your cup are negligible. According to the USDA National Nutrient Database, black coffee contains only two calories for an eight-ounce cup. While we can't quite classify coffee as "calorie-free," it is pretty close. Black coffee contains so few calories that it is generally accepted as a "safe" drink without breaking a fast.
