    I don't log the coffee itself (though it looks as if I should because potassium) just the stuff I mix into it.

    I do account for it as a cup of water intake though. IIRC, a 10 ounce cup of black coffee has about 3 calories in it. If I've had a lot of coffee, I could maybe see doing a quick add for the calories, but for most of us, that's a rounding error (as someone so succinctly put it).

    I log in my daily coffee too. I quit creamer totally because read it somewhere that creamer is a total NO. I add those Anlene milk powder instead. It has milk content and lot of calcium. Which I think its so much more healthy since it covers calcium. =) ever since I use this diary, I cut from two cubes of sugar to just one cube.

    I only log the milk and sugar that I put in my coffee. I don't bother to log the actual coffee.

    In the beginning I made my 2 cups of coffee with creamer and milk (yes, both) as a 'meal' so I add them all at once each day since it's less effort than adding the milk & creamer separately.

    I don't log herbs, condiments, and some veggies. If I got to a point where I stopped losing and didn't know why, I'd log more meticulously but right now I'm cool with being more laid back about it.

    The only reason I log my coffee is for the potassium

    I used to only log my creamer until I started paying attention to my daily potassium intake (woefully below 3500 mg every day despite my best efforts) and I realized coffee has a lot of potassium! That is the only reason I log it now.
