Abstract

Highlights: Coffee and tea are among the most widely consumed beverages in US adults. Many people prefer drinking coffee and tea with caloric add-ins like sugar or cream. We examined the nutritional implications of coffee/tea intake with caloric add-ins. Drinking coffee/tea with caloric add-ins noticeably increased daily energy intake. The incremental energy intake predominantly came from sugar and total/saturated fat.
