A member asked:

Will coffee make you gain weight, get fat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It's not the coffee: ...it's what you put into the coffee. Whole milk. Half and half. Sugars. Creamers. A cup of black coffee could have only 10 calories, but a fancy store bought coffee could have hundreds of calories with all the add-ins.
