Coffee and tea contain very few calories, with a 6oz serving of coffee having only 2 calories and most teas having 2 calories per serving. While coffee and green tea provide various health benefits like reducing risks of certain diseases, fruits vary more widely in their calorie contents. Many fruits like starfruit and cherries have under 50 calories per typical serving, while higher calorie fruits include avocados, pears, bananas and dates. Dried and canned fruits also have more calories than fresh due to water removal and added sugars.

Benefits of Coffee
The health benefits of coffee range from helping protect against Parkinson's disease to decreasing the risk of
suicide, according to Hensrud, who is a doctor of preventive and internal medicine at the Mayo Clinic. Other
indicated benefits, when consumed in moderation, include reduced asthma symptoms, a decreased risk of
Alzheimer's disease, reduction of gallstone symptoms and protection against liver cancer.
Benefits of Tea
Green tea has more health benefits than black tea, and oolong tea falls somewhere in between the two.
According to The World's Healthiest Foods, website of the George Mateljan Foundation, green tea helps protect
against various forms of cancer and contributes to a lower risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis and
bacterial and viral infections. Green tea also serves as a blood-thinner and helps prevent blood clots, lowers your
risk of gallstones and may help prevent Type 2 diabetes

calories. One medium pear has 98 calories, a medium banana has 105, and five medium dates have 114.
Dried and Canned Fruits
Dried and canned fruits contain more calories per ounce than fresh fruits. When fruits are dried, much of
the water has been removed and the fruit becomes more nutritionally and calorically dense. Forty grams of
raisins, for example, contain 130 calories, whereas 40 grams of grapes have only 40 calories. A quarter cup of
dried plums has 110 calories versus 19 calories for fresh. Find out the calories in canned fruits simply by looking
on the Nutrition Facts label. Fruits canned with added sugar will be much higher in calories than fruits without
sugar added.
