Where's the milk ?

Isabelle_1929

Like many of you, I like to look at other people's diary.

It occurred to me that I have never seen someone logging milk (except in large quantity, with cereals).

So the big question is: of all the MFP members, am I really the only one drinking coffee with milk ?

I know many don't drink coffee at all, and I know it may be only a coincidence, but still ... No one else than me is logging some milk ?

Confession: everytime I see one of these "Plateau" or Not losing- Help !" posts with OPs swearing to God they log everything, I am always tempted to ask if they drink coffee ...
But I refrain myself.

I've come to enjoy mine black with one splenda. But I still log it, all 4 calories.

firefoxxie

Maybe those people drink their coffee black?

I don't drink coffee. I no longer drink milk. I prefer to eat my calories. If I use milk, it's with cereal or in a recipe.

I don't drink coffee, I don't eat much cereal anymore, I don't drink milk. This does not seem at all odd to me.

I drink coffee, milk, coffee with milk, milk with coffee... wait, what was the question? :drinker:

'Don't drink coffee.

I log milk, and I log the cream in my coffee too.

SassenachJones

I drink milk with my breakfast, but it really eats up the calories and carbs quick. I log the cream in my coffee as well.

Some days I like espresso with skimmed milk after lunch, and I log it. But that's not often, I also rarely eat cereal.

My boyfriend drinks a lot of milk every day, but he's not on MFP.

tincanonastring

I not only log the milk in my coffee (and the creamer I use at work), I measure it. My wife thinks I'm a freak.

I log milk accurately b/c I like it and it adds calories. I generally have 2.5 oz. of Hood Simply Smart Fat Free Milk with my coffee in the morning. Also, I measure b/c it makes for a consistent latte taste. I tried 1% milk instead, and the Hood Fat Free tastes so much richer and better, I switched back.

watto1980

I only have one a day (if that) with a bit of skim milk and have never bothered to log the milk. If I was a big coffee drinker I would probably log it as it would add up over time.

amusedmonkey

I don't drink coffee often, but when I do it's always black and always sugar free because I've always liked it that way. Those flavored coffees or coffee with creamers or milk just don't do it for me! They ruin that pure coffee taste!

I do have some milk with my flavored tea though, and I always log it.

I log milk because I make a latte every day.

I drink decaf and use 2% milk in it. Rather than measure the milk with every mug of coffee I have in the AM, I measure 1 cup of milk and drink mugs of coffee with some of the milk until the milk is gone. I don't worry about the calories in the decaf. I didn't gain the 60 pounds I've now shed from drinking coffee. It was the cookies I was dunking / eating that caused the gain.

I log the milk I use in my oatmeal. Usually 1/2 cup of it. I don't use it in my coffee, though. Not a fan of it in coffee. But I do log the creamer that I use. I don't drink milk often. With the way my stomach is at the moment (recovery from an ED), it handles milk substitutes much better. I do like the taste of milk, though, so sneak it in my oatmeal sometimes. That's about it.

The_Enginerd

I drink my coffee with just milk, no sweetener of any kind. I prefer not to drink my calories, but I can't drink it black, so I started drinking it that way as a compromise. Now I prefer it that way.

LindsNW05

I used to drink milk a lot, but then I got bronchitis a couple of years ago and ever since then I've had some pretty nasty problems whenever I do drink milk. I still drink it, just not as often I used too, I also use a little bit of half and half in my coffee every morning, some reason that small amount doesn't bother me as much.

shaynepoole

I drink my coffee black with Torani Sugar Free Syrups generally neither of which I log. On the rare occasions I do add milk into my coffee, I do log the milk. But I don't do that often as the milk almost makes it feel like dessert now since I have been drinking it black for so long now.

I drink a pot of coffee with milk each day. That's around 3 large cups. I have never logged the milk. I still reached my goal weight in a reasonable time and have maintained that weight for over one year. I shouldn't worry about milk in tea and coffee if I were you. Concentrate on eating healthy fresh food and not going over your fat or sodium allowance.

Chezzie84

Since my husband ran off with the milkman, I never ever touch the stuff

I log milk with my coffee every single day

Sarauk2sf

I drink copious amounts of lattes. I am just not logging right now, but when I do, there is a lot of milk in my diary.

I have a small bit of milk in coffee, but even so it adds up over a day, up to 150 calories a day. Some people like it more milky too.

I agree with not stressing over every little thing, but 150 calories is a lot, and it's a regular thing, and not exactly hard to log.

MsHarryWinston

I've never really drank milk. I don't eat cereal, never really have unless it was those times I would have some harvest crunch in yogurt (got turned onto harvest crunch in yogurt at military camp). the only milk I have these days is post workout chocolate milk.

fluffyasacat

I have a piccolo latte because a regular size latte with full-fat milk is like 110 calories. Rather than add three separate items (1 shot espresso, 22ml milk, 1/4 tsp sugar) every time I drink coffee I saved it as a recipe.

Sued0nim

I log 100ml milk with my breakfast that is my splash of milk in coffee throughout the day

Christine_72

I get around 200 calories every single day in the milk I have in my tea which is why I have to log it

lolly715

I only have milk in smoothies and lattes. They get logged although I usually only have one per week of each. If I happen to have any other tea or coffee through the week, it's always black. Always make oatmeal with water, don't eat any other cereal and have never drunk milk by the glass. Just not really a fan of it!

malibu927

I hate the taste of milk, so I only have it with cereal or mixed into scrambled eggs.
