Coffee/Tea Carb Counts
Don’t forget to count the carbs in coffee and tea! Those fractions
of a carb, really add up!
6oz Brewed Coffee or Decaf Coffee is:
Total Carbs = 0.7g
Fiber = 0g
Net Carbs = 0.7g
Instant coffees are the same counts.
6oz Brewed Tea - regular or decaf are:
Total Carbs = 0.5g
Fiber = 0g
Net Carbs = 0.5g
Herbal teas are about the same counts, and occasionally higher,
depending on ingredients
Instant Teas and Beverages (like Crystal Light) are higher with
lemon added, less without lemon added! Even higher when
sweetened. Count a minimum of 1 carb per 6 oz serving, even if
the label says less, because of the hidden carbs.
1 Tsp of instant tea powder, flavored with lemon is 1g net carbs
1 Tsp of instant tea powder, no flavoring is 0.4g
Herbal teas are about the same counts, and occasionally higher.
Don’t forget to count the carbs in anything you add to your coffee
or tea!
Cream - .6 carb per oz
Sweetener - count 1 per packet
Lemon -count 1/2 to 1 per Tbs or wedge
HIH!
