: I recently got hooked on drinking cappucino and am trying to find number of calories. I was told it was very high, but I cannot find it anyplace. Could you help me. Thank you.
Zillions. Give it up. Actually, the calories depend on what -- and how much what -- you're putting in it. A cup of naked cappuccino (3/4 cup brewed coffee or expresso, 1/3 cup frothed milk, dash each nutmeg and cocoa) is about 56 calories. Naked cappuccino with cream (same with 1/3 cup whipped cream instead of whole milk) is about 142 calories. Irish Cream cappuccino (same with 1/3 cup whipped cream and 3 fluid ounces Bailey's) is about 448 calories. That gets you into the ballpark. If you want a more exact estimate, find out they're putting into your favorite cappuccino. Then buy Sierra's MasterCook software, type in the recipe, and view it in book form to see the nutritional information.
And, for Heaven's sake, buy a good cappuccino machine if you haven't already. You're much better off making your own. Otherwise, you pay an obscene markup and have no control over quality.
Good luck!
