Espresso - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Espresso

• Metabolic Effect: Espresso, thanks to the caffeine it contains, speeds up metabolism and increases energy levels. However, consuming it on an empty stomach may cause stomach discomfort.
• Consumption Suggestion: Instead of consuming espresso alone, drinking a glass of water alongside it prevents dehydration. Also, drinks such as latte or cappuccino prepared with milk or plant-based milk (almond, soy) reduce the bitterness of espresso and provide a more balanced consumption.
• Things to Consider: Consuming 2-3 cups of espresso a day is generally safe, but excessive consumption can disrupt sleep patterns and lead to nervousness. One cup of espresso is roughly equivalent to half a can of energy drink.
• Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from one cup of espresso, it is enough to take a light-paced walk for about 5-10 minutes. A more intense activity like running for 2-3 minutes also provides the same effect.
