Plain espresso or cold brew is acceptable as well. However, there should be no cream, sugar, or artificial sweeteners. I have seen numerous people put cream, butter, Splenda, etc. in their coffee while intermittent fasting. Technically, all those will break your fast. Splenda and other artificial sweeteners “technically” break your fast as well.Ĭream, sugar, and butter all contain macronutrients such as fat and carbohydrates so your body will be converted to a fed state. Starbucks Black Coffee Nutrition Labelįirst let’s take a look at the nutrition label of a plain black coffee. I recommend reading nutrition labels for all beverages you want to consume while intermittent fasting. ![]() There may be some drinks that contain 0 calories, but they may have artificial sweeteners in them. Make sure to read my article on sugar free energy drinks to see what effects artificial sweeteners may have on fasting. So, this nutrition label from Starbucks black coffee shows 5 calories in 12 fl oz. It contains 0g fat, 1g carb, and 0g protein. The 5 calories and 1g carbohydrates is negligible, and will not break your fast. They have to provide that information on the nutrition label because the coffee beans can absorb through, and provide that 1g of carbs. Be sure to check the ingredient lists of products as well. The ingredients here are coffee and water, so no artificial sweeteners. It is important to check the ingredient lists of the beverages you want to consume as well. Even if the product is 0 calories, you may find artificial sweeteners and sugar alcohols in the ingredient list.
