potentially a VERY dumb nutrition question...
Permalink Closed

OK, so, here it goes... if you have a nonfat latte, does this fill some of your calcium requirements? Or does the fact that it is combined w/ caffiene (and one sugar) negate the nutritional value?


I only ask because I know that having tea (which is mostly water) does not fill your water requirements for the day, and you actually have to have more water to regain the water lost from the caffiene, and I wonder if the same held true for skim milk in lattes...OK dumb rambling over. Thoughts?


P.S. I'd ask my trainer, but I know that he's rag on me for this question...so I turn to you gals! ;)

hmm not sure. I would think if you were using a serving size of milk it would count but I have no nutrition sense.

On a side note how about drinking some crystal light lemonade or sugar free kool aid to get in your water requirements?

Yes, definately! My trainer suggested crystal light to me actually!

There are actually some recent studies that have been done that say the caffeine negating water thing is a bunch of hooey.  If you are drinking enough 'liquids' throughout your day, replacing one or two glasses of water with coffee/tea isn't really going to matter (and I think your calcium counts in your latte btw).  As long as you aren't drinking only coffee/tea instead of water, it probably won't affect you.

okay i don't have a definite answer, but i think it wouldn't work. it's my understanding that caffeine sucks the calcium out of your bones, so it seems to me like the caffeine would negate the impact of the milk in your coffee.
