If you’re counting calories, here’s the painful truth: a tablespoon of Half & Half has about 20 calories. A tablespoon of light cream has around 30 to 35. So, you’re paying for a tablespoon of regret.
But let’s do some dangerous math. If you drink three cups of coffee a day and use two tablespoons each time, choosing light cream over Half & Half adds roughly 90 calories. That’s the equivalent of a small cookie you didn’t even get to enjoy. Cruel world.
Still, I argue that the emotional satisfaction of light cream is worth at least 10 of those calories. That’s a scientifically proven fact. I did the research in my bathtub.
