Coffee addict here (with no plans of giving it up). Currently I put in 3 tbs of cinnamon vanilla creamer every morning but its so caloric at 105 calories. Any lower calorie alternatives?

    I drink mine black most days. Occasionally I'll use a protein powder as a creamer.

    I usually like to add soy milk -- regular soy milk adds in a nutty flavor. Sometimes if i get it from starbucks, they use vanilla soy milk, so that adds a nice touch of subtle sweetness.

    Otherwise i never add sugar to my coffee. But i understand this is VERY individual preference. some just love it sweet. and some love it black.

    More coffee.

    But seriously, I drink it black with an extra splash of cold water to bring it down to drinking temperature right away. Pseudo americano. It's enough to cut the bitterness.

    I used to add 2 packets of splenda or one of truvia and slowly weaned myself off of it, 1/4 packet at a time.

    Nothing, I trained myself to drink black coffee. I have always drank a lot of coffee and I used go through a pound of sugar in 2 weeks just from my coffee habit. I started getting worried about the effect of ingesting all this sugar in my mid-20's. I decided I had to give up the coffee or the sugar, so I gave up the sugar.

    Half and half. I'm not giving up good coffee/tea, so I work that into my diet, then fit in my protein, then the rest of it.

    I don't think one can be addicted to coffee as it is essential for life ,like air, water and food .
    There is no choice.... .. Is there ?
    Just to make sure before my morning ride I add a cup of strong expresso to my 3cup coffee thermos so I can survive.
    I usually add a tsp. of splenda per cup coffee of whichever strength.

    Unsweetened cashew milk (creamier than almond or soy) and splenda. I believe the cashew milk is about 25 calories a cup, so I probably use 5 calories' worth. At Starbucks I get coconut milk.

    Nothing. I drink it black and it has it's advantageous. Mostly people are more willing to get me coffee for no reason because all they have to pick up is a black coffee. Nothing special, nothing complicated.

    Black drip coffee, or 2 shots of espresso with a half tsp of dark cocoa powder and heated cashew milk, no sweetener. I hated black coffee until I started buying decent beans and a good grinder.
