    Some people choose to log black coffee and tea, but I prefer not to. I drink so much of the stuff and it's nice to have something that I'm not tracking!

    I'm also from Texas and only like unsweet tea. Sweet tea is just a liquid form of sugar. You might as well drink soda.

    I've been drinking unsweetened flavored seltzer water, if you get it really cold it's quite refreshing. Also, zero calories! Any tea without milk or sugar is going to be zero calories, same with black coffee.

    I'm having to really watch my liquid calories, I used to drink two homemade lattes a day, which added up to about 400 calories. I now am trying black coffee, so that immediately cut an easy 400 calories a day from a drink alone! Now I can eat more nutritious food to fill that gap.

    Reading all of these responses though, I'm thinking I won't bother tracking tea or coffee without cream or sweetener. Seems like a hassle for no real reason.

    I'm from the South and love my unsweetened tea. After I found out I had gestational diabetes, I had no choice but to drink it. Now, I love it.

    I make suntea for myself without sugars. Took a long time to like it, though. Reduce your sugar slowly.
