It's all in the choices. While black coffee not matter what grind, flavor or caffienation has neither calories or calcium for that matter, many other choices in the local coffee shop to varying degrees do - sometimes quite a lot. If your goal is health, then you want to maximize your calcium intake while controlling calories which leads us back to choices when ordering that favorite drink. 
- My favorite is Latte. I choose to have non-fat which gives me the calcium contained in the milk but eliminates the fat. In case you ever wondered - this is how it's made...
- Simply by choosing a Mocha instead there's less milk (calcium source) and added syrup and whipped cream (calories without calcium or much else).
As it turns out, coffee shops purchase more milk than any other single entity which means that their customers have the opportunity to get some of the calcium that their bodies need simply by enjoying their daily cup of java. It always goes back to the choices we make!
Have a great day - I'm off for some coffee!
Happy, Healthy Eating
