    2 stevia and a half shot of hazelnut kahlua. Always kicks off my morning right. My coworkers just think I'm pleasant.

    This is not very calorie conscientious, but I usually drink my coffee with low-nonfat milk and vanilla flavored syrup. And if I'm indulging a bit, I usually get an Grande Iced Vanilla Latte from Starbucks with 2%milk which is 190 calories. I just can't do black coffee/ espresso.

    Dunkin Donuts medium coffee with skim milk and 2 splendas = 30 calories, 6 carbs, 0 fat, 2 grams of sugar. Sometimes have it black with 1 splenda.

    I take it the way I like it. At home that means (full fat, full sugar) creamy creamer plus some Splenda. Out, it means H&H plus sugar.

    My coffee is my happy place and it's how I chose to spend a certain number of calories per day. I've tried some of the alternatives, and to be honest, the cal difference isn't worth it to me. I want what I want when it comes to my coffee.

    I don't drink coffee...but my fiance is insisting that butter in your coffee is healthy... So every morning he puts a spoon full of butter in it. Which I think is strange lol. Oh and he is very thin so idk.

    I don't count the coffee itself, or the zero-cal sweetener.
    I use almond milk and measure it - about 1/3c to my 8oz of coffee.
    If I use a protein powder to make it a mocha latte, I'll count those calories.

    In short: I cound the "creamer" and the protein powder if used.

    Black or with a single creamer or spoon of whitener depends on where I got it or who made it. Some cheap chain coffees are just too nasty to drink black :P

    #1: Most times I use the sugar-free Coffee-mate creamer, either Vanilla or my newest favorite 'Peppermint Mocha'. I only use one Tbsp per cup and I DO measure it with an actual TBSP measuring spoon.

    OR

    #2: Sometimes I use about 1 teaspoon of Splenda (the fiber kind which is a tad less sweeter than regular Splenda) and usually 1 Tbsp of half and half.

    I am not there with drinking it black.

    I know, I know ... all those 'additives and fillers' with the Coffee-mate. :yawn:

    I use a few tablespoons of flavored cream; and no sugar since it is already in the cream.
    If I were to use a type of sugar, it would be Stevia.

    With a large glob of heavy cream to start the day in the morning (and on the commute) then black at work.

    Two heavy creamers to start the day at weekends.

    I tried coconut oil and the whole butter/bulletproof thing in my low carb phase, didn't get on with it taste-wise :)

    This!
    Agreed. There's no other way to drink it.

    If you need to add anything to it to make the taste palatable, it's not worth drinking (IMO, anyway)

    It's just like Soda pop. You should not be drinking it at all. People only think they need it because they become addicted. I have been working graveyard for 6 years and i don't drink it. It has no nutritional value. Just don't drink it at all. Find something that is healthier. Example: Water.

    Right now I'm drinking Duncan Donuts Gingerbread Coffee.

    I also mixed milk (oh no china study!) and some chocolate peanut butter cup whey protein (Trutein) and shook that in a shaker, then I pour that into my coffee as a creamer.

    This combination is amazing.

    What are you basing your fear of coffee on?

    ^^ Doesn't seem like the same thing as soda pop to me, but meh...to each their own. ;)
