calories in tea
Say a quarter (62.5ml) is milk, that's 25.75 cals. There is 1.5 calories in the rest of the cup (minus milk) so 27.25cals
Tea whole milk on nutracheck 22 calories so semi skimmed will be less.
☺
I just did some awful working out then
No nutracheck is my bible. I am impressed with your working our. 😆
Tea has 0 calories it will depend on how much milk you put in, measure how much semi skimmed milk you use. Tescos semi skimmed milk has 5 calories per 10ml.
I usually estimate 15calories per mug for myself as i have about 30ml.
Good question, I'm a tea guzzler myself and would love to know how much cals I'm drinking. I have milk (semi-skimmed) but no sugar.
Green tea is actually great for improving metabolism and helping you burn calories.
This is why I drink it though to be honest , it kinda tastes like pond water ...
Lol I guess I have no clue what pond water tastes like then...I always imagined like fish
Lol, that had me in stitches xx
I tend to have tea with skimmed milk and no sugar/sweetener during the day. It tasted really watery to begin with, but I quite like it now
I measure out 500ml skimmed milk (175 cals) for the day and have this in teas and coffees plus on cereal. Then I can have as many drinks as wanted and not be concerned about the calories.
I believe that 500ml semi-skimmed milk is about 250 cals. If I have tea or coffee when out, then it has to be 'guestimated' but doesn't matter too much if it's a few cals out as it doesn't happen very often.
I know the first time I tried to calculate the calories in tea I went nuts because I couldn't find the calorie content in any tea. Come to find out there isn't any. I felt beyond stupid, lol.
Why not measure out and count a milk allowance for the day then you can use it as you like and know it is already counted. That is how I cope with my tea passion. Personally I allow 1 pint / day. If I go over that obviously I then have to calculate but I find that a very rare occurrence even when I have had cereal.
