Fancy creams, half-and-half and sugar are quick ways to run up a high-calorie tally. Two tablespoons of Coffee-Mate Half and Half will cost you 40 calories and 3.5 grams of fat. Three teaspoons of sugar have 42 calories and 12.6 grams of sugar. And how about those extras at your favorite coffee hot spot? A 19 gram squirt of White Chocolate Mocha Sauce comes in at 60 calories, 1.5 gram of fat and 11 grams of sugar. Just 10 grams of flavored syrup has 20 calories. A 22-gram serving of whipped cream has totals 70 calories, 7 grams of fat and 2 grams of sugar. A 17-gram serving of Mocha syrup runs about 25 calories and 4 grams of sugar. If you indulge in three cups of coffee a day, those numbers can add up. If you do need something to lighten your coffee, use fat-free milk and sprinkle your coffee with cinnamon.
