Is your coffee really worth it?

I have coffee everymorning in my Shakeology. I love it!

Thats what I do also. I do 1 to 2 cups of coffee, 1 scoop shakeology and 1/2 scoop casein/whey protein, 1 tb honey every morning in a shaker. Then about a 45 - 60 minutes later I workout.

I've started making my own iced coffee. I put i in the freezer for a while, get it cooled off and had a half school of whey protein and blend it, pour over ice. So yummy and totally worth it, plus it adds to the protein for the day!

Let me just say, that I was ordering before I checked the calories (naughty girl), so I was not intentionally using up 500 cals on a coffee! I personally think it's ridiculous and I will defiantly be thinking about an alternative. Thanks so much for everyone's advice (even the harsh ones =P)

I know it's likely been said before but I just drink regular, everyday, run-of-the-mill coffee (or the Starbucks version of same) and very few calories are added. And, yes, it's worth it for me- I need the caffeine boost! :-D

I use half and half if it's a coffee from a place, or light, powdered creamer at home and at work. I use sweeteners instead of sugar. I like it sweet-sweet - so it tastes like a treat but really isn't high in calorie.

When I want a sweet one, though, I'll have a Frappuccino LIGHT - lower calorie and yummy!

I have one of the canned Doubleshots every morning. It's like 140 calories. I love it and definitely feel it is worth it.

During the day I make one or two iced coffee drinks using my Mr Coffee Frappe Maker. I use stevia, a little cream and skim milk and they came out to be only 60 calories or so. I can make it very strong and I like it that way.

Coffee is not your issue, it is your choice of preparation that is the problem.

My coffee is worth it. I drink regular coffee with real half and half. I have no idea how many calories is in it.

I gave up mochas a long time ago. If I get coffee with a friend I'll have a skinny latte.

Try doing nonfat and sugar free. I love my frou frou coffee drinks but I go for a grande english toffee mocha. Nonfat milk, sf chocolate, and sf flavored syrup. And I make mine at home so I know exactly whats going into it. 90 cals on milk, 15 on chocolate, and 0 on the flavor.

Ugh, that "coffee" is a pound a week! A POUND a week! Just by dropping the dessert for breakfast. No, it's most definitely NOT worth it. That is the treat you have 2 or 3 times a year. Not daily.

I drink my coffee black now, it is that important to me that I gave up the Splenda and creamer about 2 months ago now.
