Guest guest Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 I was just figuring up how many calories and carbs my breakfast had and going by the carb list that I got off this list a few years back the total blew me away! there must be a mistake on this list for coffee. 2 scrambled eggs, 122 calories and 3 carbs 3 slices of bacon, 20 and 3 1 cup fresh strawberries, 166 and 12 so this adds up to 308 calories and 15 carbs for breakfast which isn't bad. but by the list I have it says that only 6 ounces of coffee has 178 calories and less then a carb. my coffee cup will hold 18 ounces and I drink 4 cups every morning. this is a total of 72 ounces of black coffee. if this list is correct in only 6 ounces has 178 calories, then my coffee alone had over 2000 calories? I don't understand how coffee black can have hardly any calories at all. it could be a mistake in Braille and that is what I hope is the case. Some one needs to tell me it isn't true and black coffee is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Is it 90 calories, or no calories? I find it hard to believe coffee has very many calories.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 maybe the 178 stands for grams of caffeine and not calories? I believe my sugar has as well went up after drinking certain coffee in the past. giving up coffee would be about as bad as it could get! Surely this isn't so?

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 That is true of some of the really strong brewed coffees-the amount of caffeine in it can make your sugar rise. Sometimes the coffee houses also add sugar to their brew. Ask them next time you go. But some diabetics are sensitive to the amount of caffeine there is in the coffee. I had client one time who had high blood sugars with coffee and when he used Splenda. He was sensitive to the filler they use in Splenda to add bulk to it. _____ From: blind-diabetics [mailto:blind-diabetics ] On Behalf Of Sent: Friday, June 10, 2011 3:04 PM To: blind-diabetics Subject: Re: Surely this isn't so? everytime i go to tim hortons and have a medium black coffee my sugar is high when i get home. karen Surely this isn't so?
