coffe measurements?????

riehlmom

I'm looking through the coffee info to add my morning cups of coffee to my food diary. I'm sorry, but maybe I'm too dumb??? I don't understand the 1 serving of XX grams or XX tablespoons of coffee. Maybe I need more coffee for my brain to wake up and figure it out In the past coffee was figured in how many cups you drank of which brand...

Actual coffee has so few calories, that several cups would be less than 10 calories. The best thing is to drink it black, but it's what you put in it that counts. Use a tablespoon or teaspoon from a measuring cup set to portion out any sugar and creamer. At first, each one of my cups of coffee had 100 calories. Now, I'm down to about 50 calories a cup. Usually a cup (of coffee) is considered 8 ounces.

I don't usually put my coffee in my food diary because black coffee is 0 calories but I can see both instant and brewed coffee in the database by cup. The sugar and milk I add to the coffee is added separately. :drinker:

yeah my 8-16 ounces of coffee comes to 4 calories. i use milk and use a 1/3 of cup for both so 30 calories if i remember correctly. then a splenda

I don't enter regular black coffee, but I do enter the creamer if I put it in. Specialty coffees do get entered though...stuff from Starbucks, Wawa and the ones I make at home.
