very low

• Net carbs are total carbohydrate minus fiber: 1.7 g − 0 g = 1.7 g per 100 g. Low-carb plans usually count these.
• Protein per 100 kcal compares how much protein each food gives for the same calories: Espresso gives 1.3 g.
• Energy density is calories per gram. At 0.09 kcal/g, Espresso is very low on the CDC's scale (very low below 0.6, low to 1.5, medium to 4, high above 4); lower-density foods give a larger portion for the same calories.

Logging Espresso: what to know

A shot of espresso is 29.6 g and 3 kcal, so the drink itself hardly counts. Water is 97.8 g per 100 g, with 9 kcal and a little caffeine too. Milk drinks such as a latte are a different food, because the milk supplies nearly all the calories.
