This Week's 3 Things to Know
Massive survey shows the real number of calories in Americans' coffee cups.
Most people don't put much thought into their daily java. They just fuel up and go. But if you're adding sugar, creamer, and/or other ingredients, those calories add up!
Researchers reviewed 12 years of data and found that Americans consumed an average of 69 calories per coffee and 43 more calories per cup of tea when they used add-ins. Not terrible, but you can do better! Check out
our best tips for DIY hot drinks, and remember to keep track of those extra calories.
