    By the way, I never really would drink a glass of milk on its own, not since I was a kid anyway. Since starting my weight loss, it's one of the foods I've (surprisingly) started craving again for the first time in years, and now enjoy from time to time.

    I live in Montréal - and have lived in Toronto for a few years.

    I don't know where you live in Canada or in the US; but I am pretty sure only a minority of Canadians would drink their coffee black. It is also what I noticed during my numerous business trips to various locations in the USA (but I may be wrong on that one).

    I guess we need a poll on that very important issue. :-)

    I'm also in Montreal. (Salut, Isabelle!) I drink my coffee with milk.

    I've noticed that it varies by age more than by geography. Younger drinkers tend to add a lot of milk, sugar and flavours -- things like vanilla lattes are popular among teens and young adults -- and then older adults tend to drink more low-cal basic coffee. My grandfather only ever drank black coffee.

    I figure it's either a generational thing (what you were raised to drink) or else it's a changing taste thing (outgrowing a sweet tooth, preferring stronger coffee as you get older in an acquired taste way).

    I log mine, but it's half & half, not milk; I also use it in things, but I make recipes and then add the portioned recipe to my diary... so you wouldn't see it because it's all encompassed in the recipe. I also don't drink milk by itself, but I do drink kefir and log all of it.

    I'm curious as to why those of you who state they don't log milk used do that. I try to log everything that passes my lips, regardless of if it's one piece of candy or a cup of coffee with cream and sugar.

    I don't drink milk and I eat cereal dry. I use half and half or non-dairy creamer in my coffee when I drink it, and I count it when I do.

    I drink mine with sugar free vanilla creamer, and I log it, all 45 calories a day of it.

    Frankly life is too short. Logging a splash of milk in my tea a couple of times a day makes no material difference to my weight loss. I eat at 1200 (small sedentary and over 40 ;-) ) but accept that there is a margin of unlogged milk I can live with!

    Milk drinks, latte etc gets logged...

    I don't log it separately, I just log each cup of coffee and presume they all have about same amount of milk in each.
