I never thought anything of it but black coffee has carbs. I may have to switch to green tea. Nothing jacks you up like some Joe.

    Fortunately though, it is a miniscule amount.

    Black, unsweetened coffee should have 2-3 calories per cup and 0 carbs. Are you using a correct entry?

    A minuscule amount. Less than eggs and cheese I believe.

    This.

    Edited to Add: There IS a user-generated entry going around that has 25g of carbs (or something like that) which gets used a lot by mistake and it's usually the one people are referring to when they think black coffee has carbs.

    There's an entry out there for "Black coffee" with 60 cals. Someone must have put in their black-sweet coffee, so pay attention to which entry you select.

    This is true for all entries.

    Black coffee has about half a gram of carbs per 8 oz.
    Basically nothing.
