How Many Calories in a Latte? Nutrition Facts & Macros

Q: How many calories are in a latte?

One small latte (240ml) contains approximately 103 calories. Per 100g, a latte has 43 calories. A medium/grande latte (355ml) has about 153 calories. Most calories come from milk — the espresso itself adds virtually nothing. Size matters significantly: a large (475ml) can reach 200+ calories.

Q: How much caffeine is in a latte?

A latte contains about 36mg caffeine per 100g, which means a small (240ml) has approximately 86mg caffeine — roughly one espresso shot. A medium/grande (355ml) with two shots has about 128mg. This is less per volume than black coffee (40mg/100g) because the milk dilutes it. Still enough for a morning energy boost.

Q: Latte vs cappuccino — what's the difference?

Latte: 43 kcal per 100g (mostly steamed milk). Cappuccino: ~30 kcal per 100g (more foam, less milk). A latte uses about 3/4 steamed milk and a thin foam layer, while a cappuccino is 1/3 each espresso, milk, and foam. Lattes are creamier and higher in calories; cappuccinos are lighter and foamier.

Q: How do different milks change latte calories?

Whole milk latte (240ml): ~103 kcal. Skim milk: ~60 kcal (42% less). Oat milk: ~95 kcal (similar, slightly less protein). Almond milk: ~45 kcal (56% less, very low protein). Coconut milk: ~55 kcal. The biggest calorie savings come from almond or skim milk. Oat milk is closest to whole milk in taste and calories.

Q: How much sugar is in a latte?

A small latte (240ml) with whole milk has about 9.7g of sugar — all from lactose (natural milk sugar), with zero added sugar. Per 100g, a plain latte has 4.06g sugar. A vanilla latte from a coffee shop can have 25-35g sugar from added syrup. Always order plain if watching sugar intake.

Q: Is a latte good for weight loss?

A plain latte has moderate calories — 103 kcal for a small (240ml). This is reasonable as part of a balanced diet, but it adds up with daily consumption (700+ kcal per week). For weight loss, switch to a smaller size, use skim milk (~60 kcal), or have black coffee (2 kcal). Avoid flavored syrups which can double the calories.

Variations

Latte with skim milk

~25 kcal per 100g — about 40% fewer calories than whole milk latte (43 kcal). Almost zero fat (<0.2g) but same protein (~3g) and slightly more calcium. The texture is thinner and less creamy. A small skim latte (240ml) has about 60 calories.

Vanilla latte

~50 kcal per 100g — about 15% more than plain (43 kcal) due to vanilla syrup adding ~15g sugar per serving. A small vanilla latte (240ml) has about 190-220 calories depending on the amount of syrup. The added sugar makes this significantly less diet-friendly.

Cappuccino

~30 kcal per 100g — about 30% fewer calories than a latte (43 kcal) because it uses less milk and more foam. A small cappuccino (180ml) has about 55-70 calories. More espresso flavor comes through, and the foam makes it feel lighter. Better for calorie-conscious coffee lovers.
