    I lived in Seattle for a while and ALWAYS put a ton of sugar and cream in my coffee. Until the day i went to a small mom and pop coffee place, asked for the cream and sugar and they said no. They said I had not even tried it yet and told me that the beans were very good quality. He taught me how to "taste" the coffee. It really shocked me It was really good without anything. Since that day I have never added sugar to my coffee nor milk. Spend a bit more money, buy fresh beans from local shops, grind it yourself or have them grind fresh for you. Start with a french press, if you like it get a decent coffee maker.

    There have been a few "buy good coffee and drink it black" suggestions and I want to ditto them. Quality, freshly roasted beans don't need their flavors masked by sweetener and milk. Personally, I do add a Splenda and a dash of half and half when having a more pedestrian cup from some place like Dunkins, Tim Horton's or Starbucks.

    The changes that I make in my diet are for real life - I have my coffee the same as I always have and log the 74 calories everyday.

    As for the person who says to look at the difference between baker's chocolate and milk chocolate: I love baker's chocolate and yes, I love to eat it just like that. Milk chocolate is gross and overly sweet. /blaspheme

    I think I love you (purely platonically of course not creepy stalkerish) .... yup this! Dark chocolate is the height of Awesomely Wonderful

    Huge difference between bakers chocolate and dark chocolate, bakers chocolate has NO sugar. It is very bitter. I'm not talking about dark, or semi sweet, I'm talking about chocolate with NO sugar added. If you like that, more power to you, but most people find it unpleasant. They do sell lightly sweetened bakers chocolate, and semi sweet and dark, all of which are good, but not what I was referring to.

    Coffee is a non-negotiable for me. I use sugar (not sugar substitute) and sweetened coffee creamer and just make it fit within my calorie allowance/macro's. However, I have been able to reduce my creamer by 1 tsp while still enjoying the taste of my coffee.
