Tea falls into the category of so-called "negative calorie" foods: a host of foods which, by virtue of their invigorating and thermogenic action, induce the body to consume more calories than they provide.
Without adding sugar or milk, a cup of tea provides the body with approximately 2 calories; however, the caffeine (or theine if you prefer) it contains slightly increases the metabolism; it has been calculated that a cup of coffee increases the expenditure energy of the organism of about 20 KCal, thanks to the stimulating effect of caffeine.
Thinking about losing weight by dint of tea or caffeine, however, is certainly not a good idea, as the side effects of this practice are serious. A healthy person should not consume more than three cups of coffee a day, while some categories of subjects (including pregnant, children, hypertensive, cardiopathic, gastritic) should abstain regardless of the calorie factor. Unlike coffee, however, the aqueous extracts of green tea can be used as antioxidants, antivirals, preventives on the phenomena of carcinogenesis, useful in slimming diets. A cup of tea contains a maximum of 50 mg of caffeine, and typically about a third of that contained in a cup of coffee. The extraction of caffeine is greater the more prolonged is the infusion and eventual boiling of the tea leaves.
Clearly, the energy intake of a tea corrected with sugar, milk, honey or consumed with biscuits or other snacks increases significantly compared to the bitter counterpart. Therefore, in an effort to help the reader calculate the calories of a cup of tea consumed according to your habits, we have prepared a simple calculation form: simply select the various additions from the drop-down menus, specifying the respective quantities each time.
