Here are the stats from mcdonalds.com regarding the nutrition information for their new McCafe drinks which are popular at the moment. As you can see by this chart, not all coffee is created equal. We were quite surprised when we saw the amount of calories in the sweetened versions .
If your McCafe is made with whole milk the calories range from 120 to 290. The most surprising thing to us is that Iced Coffees range from 120-230 calories.
You can see by our chart that the best bets are the nonfat drinks without the sugar syrup.  If you imbibe on many coffee drinks with sugar and cream per week the calories can really stack up.

Judy’s passion for cooking began with helping her grandmother make raisin oatmeal for breakfast. From there, she earned her first food service job at 15, was accepted to the world-famous Culinary Institute of America at 18 (where she graduated second in her class), and went on to the Fachschule Richemont in Switzerland, where she focused on pastry arts and baking. After a decade in food service for Hyatt Hotels, Judy launched Food and Health Communications to focus on flavor and health. She graduated with Summa Cum Laude distinction from Johnson and Wales University with a BS in Culinary Arts, holds a master’s degree in Food Business from the Culinary Institute of America, two art certificates from UC Berkeley Extension, and runs a food photography & motion studio where her love is creating fun recipes and content.

Judy received The Culinary Institute of America’s Pro Chef II certification, the American Culinary Federation Bronze Medal, Gold Medal, and ACF Chef of the Year. Her enthusiasm for eating nutritiously and deliciously leads her to constantly innovate and use the latest nutritional science and Dietary Guidelines to guide her creativity, from putting new twists on fajitas to adapting Italian brownies to include ingredients like toasted nuts and cooked honey. Judy’s publishing company, Food and Health Communications, is dedicated to her vision that everyone can make food that tastes as good as it is for you.
