Hello,

How do you log coffee?

    A lot if not most of the entries in MFP have coffee as 0 calories but I don't buy that so I found one that give me something like 2-3 calories per 8oz and I just enter how many 8oz servings I have. It's my brand (Maxwell House Original Roast) that lists the calories and I drink it black. Honestly I'd rather log 4-5 calories and have it turn out to actually be 0, than do the the other way around and end up going over on my calories without knowing it because of that, kwim?

    edit: my diary's open, you can take a look if you want the exact wording for the entry to look up for that coffee, if you want.

    if i have it black, no. if i have it with milk, yes.

    oops misread the OP

    just put 'generic' coffee and add whatever you're having with it seperately, milk, creamer, sugar etc.

    I think the entry I use is "coffee, brewed from grounds" and it's 2 cals per 8 ounces. Then I log the creamer separately by TBSP.

    I created a custom food called "AM Java" that includes the 20 oz I usually drink and the 3 tsp of sugar I put in it. One-click easy. :)
