    I wonder why when I add my maxwell house drip coffee it shows 5 calories, I always thought black coffee was calorie free.

    I use creamers, milk, or soy milk and stevia and other sweeteners. I log them. They do not usually count for much in the way of calories if you used them in moderation:)

    I drink cream in coffee and I do log it when I log. I don't log the sweetner.

    I do the same as the OP - log a cup of skim milk for the splash I have in coffee in the morning and tea in the afternoon :)

    I still drink tea, however now if I add anything its just a tiny splash of skim milk and I log those calories. Im too lazy to search for foods half the time so I just add 40 quick calories.

    I log my coffee and half/half. If I find a deal on hwc I sometimes use this. I never use milk in my coffee due to the sugar grams.

    Do people still drink tea / coffee? I drink coffee everyday.

    Do you drink it black? Sometimes. But mostly with just creamer.

    Do you drink it but not log the calories? I don't log the creamer in, no. Black Coffee is ZERO calories, so if you drink it Black, you don't need to log it.

    i rarely log my tea, i don't add anything to it.

    i do log my weekend coffees, with half a packet of sugar and a splash of organic 2% milk.

    I always log it! I log mine as 100 cal per cup because I use a lot of creamer. It's probably a little less, but whatever.

    I make myself a latte at home probably 4-5 times a week. I use 1,2% milk, because I have to use lactose free milk and that's the only type the shops here carry. I may put in a little bit of sugar too. It's maybe 70-80 calories, it depends how much milk and sugar i put in it.

    Other than that I don't drink much coffee and tea. But when I drink tea I drink it black and with no sugar.

    I very rarely drink coffee but when I do it's black with sweetener, other than that I only drink green tea or herbal blueberry tea with sweetener, no milks or creams and I always log all of it right down to each packet of sweetener.

    I log the coffee I drink (a lot) and the sugar I add (a little). To ensure accuracy, I buy sugar packets and use the information from the side of the box.
