Plain brewed coffee is essentially calorie-free. Everything you add — cream, sugar, syrups — is where the calories come from.

How does black coffee fit your goals?

With 0.2g of protein per 1 cup (237g), black coffee is a workhorse for anyone tracking macros for weight loss or muscle gain. Protein is the most satiating macro and the hardest to over-eat by accident, which is why high-protein foods anchor most successful cutting and recomposition plans. A single serving covers roughly 0% of a 150g daily protein target — the kind of number that adds up quickly when you build meals around it.

Diet-wise, black coffee fits keto, low-carb, and high-protein eating patterns.
