Unsweetened, it contains no added sugar, and it provides a useful amount of calcium.

Common portions
| Portion | Grams | kcal | kJ | Protein g | Carbs g | Fat g |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 small (12 fl oz) | 360 | 97 | 407 | 6.2 | 9.9 | 3.6 |
| 1 cup (8 fl oz) | 240 | 65 | 271 | 4.1 | 6.6 | 2.4 |

Things worth knowing
- An 8 fl oz cup (240 g) has about 65 kcal (271 kJ), a small 12 fl oz about 97 kcal (407 kJ) and a medium 16 fl oz about 130 kcal (542 kJ).
- Milk choice matters most. A cappuccino made with skim (nonfat) milk is about 19 kcal per 100 g, or about 91 kcal for a 16 fl oz medium, against 130 kcal with whole milk.
- A latte contains more milk and less foam, so it is higher in energy: USDA lists a latte at about 43 kcal per 100 g against 27 kcal for a cappuccino.
- Syrups, sugar and chocolate dusting are extra: a level teaspoon of sugar adds about 16 kcal (68 kJ).
