For many of us, a cup of joe in the morning is a happy, and coffee itself has health benefits: studies show it can lead to a longer life and lessen the risk of type 2 diabetes. But you can mess up a good thing with those little extras you stir in. If you drink 2 cups a day, for example, each with 2 ounces of cream and 2 teaspoons of sugar (32 calories), you'll take in about 300 calories and 24 grams of fat - slightly more than the number of calories and twice the fat of a jelly doughtnut from Dunkin Donuts.

The milk you choose can also make a big difference. According to of the Department of Agriculture, Americans bought more than twice as much 2% and whole milk as either 1% or nonfat in 2016).
A switch from, say, whole milk to 1% and less sugar can make a real impact on the calories you're consuming with your coffee.
