    I don't log my coffee or tea ---- but I drink them both black. In the odd occasion I have a latte, I definitely log it.

    I don't count anything but water toward my water goal. Anything with caffeine is actually dehydrating so shouldn't be counted. I suppose decaffeinated my be able to count.

    You're not going to dehydrate yourself to the point where you lose more water than you take in when drinking caffeinated beverages unless it's a shot of espresso or something super concentrated.

    I know this is true - but someone tell my bladder that!

    It's not your bladder, it's your hormones. Caffeine suppresses vasopressin (anti-diuretic hormone) so your body doesn't re-absorb as much water. That means you're going to pee a lot.

    I count everything I drink towards my water goal, and I don't really stick to the suggested water goal. I drink when I feel like it.

    This is what I do as well.

    I do NOT count it towards my water goal. That's just me, I don't have an issue with others doing it lol
    I DO log it in my food diary if I've added any milk or sugar. It adds up when you drink a lot.

    I always log it because I always drink them with milk. And no... water is water... tea and coffee is not! :P

    I log everything with a calorie in it. MFP is a calorie counter so why wouldn't you count it? I record my ater cause sometimes I tend to forget to drink it and that's just a reminder for me.

    I log my coffee because I drink it with milk. I don't count tea, when I drink it, as part of my water.

    I count everything. Defeats the purpose if you don't.

    Coffee has about 30 calories per cup so if you drink a few, I would count it.

    No it doesn't. Not by a longshot.
