How do you take your coffee?

Black, 4 pumps of sugar free vanilla syrup, 1/4-1/2 cup of non fat milk; approx 50 calories

For the first few weeks, cream in my coffee was my indulgence. By the third week, I was feeling less like I needed that particular indulgence and switched to to 2%.

coffee_rocks

10% half and half with sugar. About 80 calories a mug. Worth every calorie, too.

TeachTheGirl

I take mine with just a splash of milk.

I used to only be able to drink it with two spoonfuls of sugar and a ton of milk. It takes a while to be able to develop your taste for it, but it's so much better this way now that I think about it!

through an IV line.

High-quality, home-roasted, fresh-ground, AeroPress'd 20g/10oz or as a double-shot of espresso pulled from a non-pressurized Gaggia.

Don't go putting **** in my cup, either. I actually like coffee for coffee, not as a flavoring for my sugarcream.

I don't...coffee gives me a headache unfortunately. I used to love it though. Now I love my tea, orange pekoe, green, chai, whatever without anything in it--that's the way I used to dirnk my coffee too. I drank it for flavor, not the kick.

I use liquid creamer and stevia. I just can't do black!!

kr1stadee

2 tablespoons of fat free french vanilla creamer and 1 teaspoon of sugar (cut down from 2!)

Now that I've been looking at my intake, I think I need to find a flavored creamer with less sugar.. I'm not worried about the fat

Monica_has_a_goal

with unsweetened almond milk (30 cal per cup) and stevia ( no cals)

I used to be a cream and sugar kind of girl, but now I'm a CoffeeMate Natural Bliss Sweet Cream kind of girl. It's 35 cal per tablespoon, so it's not too bad. It's got nonfat milk, heavy cream, and sugar.

That being said, I have been playing around with protein powders, and found Nectar Sweets Vanilla Bean Torte, which tastes to me like cake batter, so I have been adding that to my coffee to get a protein boost. Makes my coffee creamy and sweet without all of the fat.

Working on just black. Trying to avoid americanos. My treat coffee is a cafe au lait, ie coffee and steamed milk.

black

wonderfulboodad

I take mine in a mug....Oh and I drink it as it comes out of the Keurig black.

Hello guys,

Just wondering how you all take your coffee is you're counting calories. I LOVE coffee, have an addiction I can admit to it LOL. But I take mine with cream and sugar, I've tried it Black, black with just sugar and I can't any other way. However, I am not into sugar substitutes (used to use splenda all the time) because I am trying to eat more "clean". So I am wondering will I have to forfeit my coffee (I almost shed a tear typing that) or is there a healthier way to drink coffee with the flavor I like? Also I am watching carb intake for Insulin Resistance/PCOS

Vanilla flavored Coconut milk is going to be your best bet and it tastes good too.

I either drink my coffee plain black or if I want a dessert like drink, then I add Vanilla flavored Coconut milk.

MoreBean13

Real Stevia (not truvia) and whole milk.

or

with protein done up as a protein latte.

Real stevia - 0 carbs. A serving is 42mg in total weight. There's no room for hidden carbohydrates that magically disappear on nutritional labels.

Black.

It's the only way to really enjoy the flavour of a good cup-o-joe.

iluvprettyshoes

I use sugar free creamer and that's all.

Ely82010

Black with Splenda or Stevia. In my opinion, milk, creamers or other additives with flavors take away the real flavor of a good cup of coffee.

x_ItNeverEnds_x

Black

aproc

For my personal type of diet, I try to get more fat in because my carbs are pretty low for certain days. So my coffee typically consists of 1 tbsp of heavy whipping cream, small amount of almond milk, and a little sugar free torini syrup. It's 1g of carbs but probably not what your looking for since it's about 60 calories. So two cups adds up. XP

BurtHuttz

Like my women . . . piping hot, fresh, dark, and bitter.

eta- without a drop of sweetness or cream.

TheConsciousFoody

Soy creamer, hazelnut flavor with a packet of truvia

zaph0d

In a cup or a mug, unadulterated.

VogtAndrea

I either drink mine black, with skim milk, 1% if I know that I haven't a great fat intake that day, or with skim and cinnamon if I'm feeling adventurous.

natalie412

I generally drink cappucinos and lattes (freshly ground beans, home espresso machine) made with 2% milk, no sugar or flavoring, except sometimes after a long run. Or I have a straight espresso or Americano (espresso with hot water added).

When I was losing (maintaining now), I did switch to regular almond milk (slightly sweetened) for awhile to save a little on calories.

Cream is Clean! And for the amout of Unclean a packet or 2 of splenda are Its not worth giving up the coffee.. If thats really one of the few un-natural things you put in you body that minimal amount will not affect anything you are doing.. So if you use the cream your looking at less than 60 calories a cup or 40 if you use light cream.. I'll take it! I cannot do stevia except in oatmean or food because the aftertaste is too bitter for me..

gogoyubarino

Black, with a dash of cold water.
