    You guys are so hardcore. Two cups of coffee makes me feel like I need to go to the emergency room from heart palpitations and dizziness. One cup, I'm good to go. Two cups, hot mess.

    I log it along with the milk I add to it, but I don't usually have anything else for breakfast so I like to see something at least logged in that area. :)

    My post count jumps through the roof here if i have 2 or more cups of coffee in a row, jabber jabber jabber! Too much coffee definitely gives me a speedy feeling and i cant stop talking.
    My husband loves it when i drink too much (NOT) :lol: so i space them faaaar apart throughout the day.

    I have "my coffee" entered as a recipe. I drink it with sugar and half and half. I don't add any calories for the coffee itself. I don't usually add unsweetened tea either.

    I log Coke Zero it's only 1-2 calories per serving so even if you drink several litres a day it is barely any calories.

    But what about other thinks like salt?

    Does black coffee have anything else in it to make worth logging like sodium? Vitamin c?

    I have always logged it- mostly because it was an important part of the routine for me. I don't always eat breakfast, and there was something about the routine and getting my day started by looking at MFP that was important for me. However, it took me years of logging both coffee and milk to smarten up and just create a recipe. Now I log C's Coffee every day.

    Is there a way to see this for an entry you've already added? I know if you search you can see the nutritional info, but I have one saved (Coffee Black Keurig 10 oz) and I can't seem to see the nutritional info.

    On the web version, navigate to FOOD > Settings and change one of the nutrient columns to potassium.

    On the app, log the item to tomorrow or a day without any other items then look at Menu > Nutrition > Nutrients > Day View.
