Coffee Lovers....

I used to 2 tsp of sugar with full fat milk. Then I changed it to Candarel. Then I changed to 2% milk. Then I quit with the sweetener but now I just have one cup of black coffee in the AM. I percolate Lavazza D'oro - so good it doesn't need anything extra

I just build it in to my daily calories: 2 TBSP of flavored creamer, a couple packets of splenda or a couple teaspoons of "real" sugar equals about 70-140 calories per cup. I'm willing to work that in.

I splurge on a Starbucks peppermint mocha latte (skim milk, because I don't like full-fat milk, so that lowers the calorie count a little) about once a week. It hasn't kept me from losing weight, I just can't get one every day, I save it for weekends or special occasions.

There is ALWAYS room for coffee.........matter of fact it comes first before anything else in the morning!

That's what TRUE coffee love means;)

I used to drink instant coffee with a LOT of powdered creamer and splenda. The calories weren't too bad, but I know the non-dairy creamer probably isn't too good.

I got an espresso maker for Christmas. Now I make a shot of espresso with Starbucks Coffee beans and mix it with steamed fat free milk and I'm completely satisfied with it! Lately I've been adding a Tbs or so of leftover eggnog from the holidays for an eggnog latte...It's delicious and drinking that with a piece of fruit in the morning keeps me satisfied until 1 or 2pm

How do you make your coffee part of your plan?

I personally use 2 tbsp of the flavored creamers (yes, I know they aren't great for you...but baby steps!!). Then I add a bit of fat free milk. No sugar or substitute for me So one cup of coffee is about 80 cals for me and I work that in my plan daily (today I am working on my 2nd cup).

What about you?

My current go-to: coffee + 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa + 1 serving stevia (any artificial sweetener would do). This comes in at a whopping 6-7 kcals, and tastes quite good.

I like it hot, steaming, and in my mouth...



Just make sure to hydrate more than usual...I've HEARD, twice as much water for each part coffee.

Black coffee.

If you need to add stuff to it, you need to stop buying bad coffee.

^No.
Wish I knew how to add that Grumpy Cat meme here :huh:

I am a self-professed coffee addict! Although, at the moment, I'm trying to slowly wean myself off it...
I generally use artificial sweeteners and 99.9% fat free skim milk; only 31 calories in total!

If you do protein powder at all, adding it to your coffee is great! Mix it first with a little water, then add or else it might clump.

Tried that once at someone's suggestion. Throwing up in your mouth tastes better.

I have one cup a day with a tablespoon of creamer, 35 calories total! Coffee and a chocolate dipped coconut Luna Bar is my favorite breakfast!

Sycoholic

I don't include it in my plan at all. I've really cut back to only drinking about 2 cups a day. I don't use anything in it other than a dash of skim milk, like a tablespoon.

I discovered that for me it wasn't about the actual coffee. My addiction is walking in to Starbucks in the morning and being greeted by name by baristas that have known me a long time. Eventually I recognized what was actually making me warm and fuzzy and enlisted the baristas to help me. Now even when I order a venti peppermint mocha out of habit, they serve me a venti orange tea and write encouraging notes on the cup.

I used to get that and then I couldn't find it at the store anymore! It was pretty good, I want to try to find it again!

Two tablespoons of Coffeemate's fat free flavored creamers = 50 calories/cup.

Being a coffee lover myself, I have found some ways to cut the calories. There are sugar free syrups flavored at walmart and target and then if you use fat free half and half - coffee taste wonderful

Seems to aggravate sugar cravings, so I only have it every now and then.

But when I do, it's a Soy Cappuccino all the way!!

Just one cup a day (Starbucks of course) with a splash of milk = 20 calories, so it's easy to fit in
