For many, cappuccino belongs to the category of delicacies, from which they simply can not refuse. The popularity of cappuccino in the world does not weaken, and this is due not only to its magical taste, but also to its unusual flavor.

However, it is worthwhile to be cautious, after all the hobby for this drink can strongly affect the figure. To a natural coffee, nutritionists do not make any claims: only sugar is in it, only the sugar in the hammer itself contains only two kilocalories per 100 grams (not a drink, namely, a powder). But here the cappuccino contains several ingredients, thanks to which its caloric value is higher than that of plain black coffee.

First of all, the drink is nutritious thanks to milk. Of course, just adding milk to coffee, you can not get a cappuccino, because it requires a strong milk foam. And whisk foam even a special capuchin from skim milk is almost impossible. Accordingly, for the preparation of quality cappuccino, a sufficient amount of fatty milk. In addition, it is customary to add sugar in the cappuccino.

As a result, if you count, then for a regular cup (150-180 milliliters) you will need 1/3 of espresso, 1/3 of whipped milk and 1/3 of milk foam (all from the height of the cup, not the volume of the ingredients). So, if you count on milliliters, you get about 30 milliliters of coffee and 140 milliliters of milk with milk foam. If you take milk with a fat content of 3.

5%, then 100 milliliters will be about 60 kcal, in cream with the same fat content of 10% - about 120. Accordingly, the portion of cappuccino is from 84 to 168 kilocalories, which are contained in milk. If you add sugar, then with two teaspoons add to the cup another 40 kcal.

It turns out that one cup of drink is 124-208 kilocalories. Of course, dietary cappuccino can not be called, but occasionally pamper yourself with such a delicacy is completely permitted.
