Should you log black coffee with no sweeteners?

I drink my coffee black with nothing in it. I have 4 cups in the morning and sometimes one in the afternoon. Should I log it, or not?

    I never log coffee.

    I drink it black as well.

    I see it as a freebie, since the caffeine will burn off the tiny amount of calories (5) in degestion and processing.

    If there truly is nothing added to your coffee (sugar, creamer, etc) then there are no calories to count. So logging would be just for the sake of logging. You can log it just to have a visual of everything that goes into your body, but it won't move the calorie counter.
