    I very rarely drink anything other than water. If I do it is the occasional (3-4 times a year... maybe) glass of wine or low/no calorie unsweetened tea or half a protein shake when my protein is low for the day. That usually runs about 55 calories. I record everything that I put in my mouth though.

    I only have about 15 calories per day or 45 on the weekends from my coffee. I use a little bit of non dairy creamer. Switched from using milk because of the carbs and calories. Other than that i drink about a gallon + of water and a couple of diet pepsi's. Yep I'm a big drinker.

    i don't drink my calories unless it's a splurge, like a homemade milkshake or a starbucks latte.

    i drink water, tea, and occasionally a crystal light (1x every 2-3 weeks).

    also i don't count my protein shakes as "drinking cals" because it's food, to me.

    Coffee every morning is about 50 calories (K cup, suger free creamer, splenda). Otherwise I drink only water. Sometimes to get a few extra calories in I drink 8oz of 1% milk (110 cal) with dinner.

    I don't log my coffee since I drink it black. But I usually have some milk and sometimes juice. Occasionally I drink a Coke or chocolate milk.

    I drink tea with milk - I don't bother logging the tea itself, I assume it is void of calories, I do log the milk in one big lump under 'snacks' though.

    I have about 5 pints of tea a day - I only really drink either tea or beer.

    Typically, 20. Sometimes 40. This depends on how many cups of coffee I have. If I drink something like an ale or a glass of wine, I treat it like food.

    I'm drinking around 350 calories a day. Not good. But, it's progress. Before I started MFP, I drank 1200-1500 calories a day, not even kidding.

    About 100 in the morning for my coffee and sugar free creamer, but I refuse to give it up!!
    The rest of the day (if it's a good day) is water and maybe with some Crystal Light and some Silk Almond Milk!

    Over the day, I only drink water. But I actually never log the amount of water I drink. Every evening, I try to drink a half glass of beetle juice, because that is very good for the skin. It has alsmost 80 calories. I do log it, but I don't really care if I'm over or not.

    Sometimes, I drink some juice, or coca-cola, and I log that. And I log alcoholic beverages, only problem: the later, the more count I lose.

    I'm allergic to sweeteners, so the light or zero-thingy is never an option for me.

    Less than 50 cals per day (coconut milk creamer in my coffee or honey in my tea) during the week. Sometimes on the weekend I'll treat myself to a skinny vanilla latte from starbucks (about 100 cals I think?) or a glass of wine, but typically I don't drink my calories because I love food too much :)

    Usually zero calories. I drink only water all day and the occasionally sip of sprite or coke just for taste or at dinner. Some days I'll have a glass of apple juice with breakfast but I like to save my calories for food.

    Also, water is free. Pop is not. Best thing to me lol

    67 calories in my coffee and water for the rest of the day, and I eat 2000 calories a day, and more if it is a heavy burn day at the gym...or lifting weights.

    Typically 0 because I pretty much only drink water, but I sometimes have a cup of black coffee on the weekend so maybe 5 or 10 calories every week.

    The calories I drink come from coffee and creamer too, mostly from my creamer. About 130 a day combined, and thats only 2 cups, YIKES!!. Maybe I can find a lower calorie creamer. I use sugar free french vanilla powder 60 cals per tbs (I use 2 per cup)+ 5 cals for the coffee.

    One of my "sins" is that I don't log black, chemically sweetened coffee. 5-6 cals. Sure, they add up. So if I were to drink 20 cups of black, chemically sweetened coffee, that'd be 100 calories but if I were to drink 20 cups of black, chemically sweetened coffee, the least of my worries would be 100 calories. :bigsmile:

    I will log something that obviously has calories in it like a cappuccino or a pint of cider.

    I have about 3 cups of tea with no sugar a day. Those calories are too vital to waste on drinks. Unless these are 'treats' for you I would find a better option. However, I always save a couple of hundred calories for something nice as it helps to keep me motivated so I guess the question is 'how much would you miss those drinks??

    I use 45-90 calories per day on coffee. It's so helpful to me, keeping me feeling full, that it is more than worth it. I don't often drink anything but water and one or two coffees a day.

    I mostly drink water, or water with Mio, or a diet soda, so next to no calories there.

    One cup of coffee on work days, usually with nothing in it, occasionally a splenda and creamer if I need a small indulgence.

    If I have tea at home, it will have a little skim milk in it

    Just water for me on a daily basis so -0-
    But I do treat myself to a half & half Sonic tea sometimes...oh & beer, that's what gets me I'll log it but my plan is to exercise & burn some of it off :)

    If cold beer & cupcakes weren't so good getting thinner would be way easier :drinker:

    Generally zero, unless I am having a 'cheat meal'. Maybe the odd occasion where I fit in a calorie drink into my calories.
