    I drink decaf, add 2 packs of Truvia, 2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream and 2 tablespoons of Torani Sugar Free French Vanilla Syrup. (I measure everything out). Yes, I like it sweet. It ends up being 100 calories but it's worth it.

    I drink mine with sugar free french vanilla coffee creamer (15 cal per tbsp). I tried substituting vanilla almond milk for the creamer but it just wasn't the same....so now I'm back to the creamer :laugh:

    I think coffee is one of those things that I'm not willing to change to save the calories. I'm pretty happy with my 50 calorie cup, I like it just the way it tastes!

    Half a pot every weekday. Rarely on the weekends.

    "Normal," regular coffee (currently dark roast Caffee Verona from Starbucks). Black. No cream, no sugar, no (insert your favorite non-sugar sweetener here). Only occassionally do I get "fru fru" flavored coffee grounds like hazelnut or french vanilla.

    I was in the same situation. I was drinking about a cup of full sugar, full fat hazlenut creamer every morning, which is almost 500 calories! I can't really stomach black coffee so I switched to sugarfree creamer which is 15 calories a tablespoon instead of 35 and I put a limited amount in.

    Black and hot. I don't add sugar or any artificial sweeteners, same with green tea. Sometimes I'll add one or two tbsps of heavy whipping cream if I haven't met my calorie goal by the end of the day. And when I'm in the mood for something sweet I'll add a tsp of Splenda.

    Have you tried cold-brew? It removes the acids which means you no longer need cream or sugar.

    Cold brew is stronger than normal coffee, and can be stored in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks. For hot, I add water and microwave, Add ice and skim milk for great iced coffee.

    I would suggest switching the cream out for vanilla soy milk. They even make Light Vanilla Soy milk. It still gives you that sweet creamy taste without as many calories. Once cup of light vanilla soy milk is 70 cal. I usually put a few tablespoons in my coffee and that is about 15 or so cal. As for the sugar, I use it too, try getting a natural sweetener like Stevia/In The Raw or Truvia. I've found they're fabulous for coffee, calorie free, and it doesn't take much.

    Two ways depending on my mood:

    2 Tablespoons of Sugar-Free French Vanilla coffee creamer and one splenda
    OR
    2 Tablespoons of low-fat half and half, two splenda, and a pump of sugar-free flavored syrup (usually vanilla or chocolate)

    I used to cold brew before I bought the Aeropress. I still made it with milk and syrup - though I could get away with a little less syrup than I use now.

    I started drinking my coffee black a couple weeks ago. But just last week picked up some So Delicious "French Vanilla" coconut creamer for some variation. Now thinking of starting IF, I'll be going back to black!

    If I am getting it from a cafe I will grab a skinny latte or flat white no sugar.

    If I am having it at home I will have instant coffee on a small amount of skim milk and half a teaspoon of sugar.

    I have been drinking long blacks lately, I got used to them when I fasted so now drink them on other days. Saves me some calories for food :)
