I drink coffee with creamer. . 1 - 6 tablesoons... Love mixing it with hot chocolate and Milo (Jamaican chocolate malt beverage)... yum yum

I home roast my own. French press, no cream, no sugar.

You can have my coffee when you pry it from my cold, caffeinated hand.

I've been told I make the best.

Coffee, coffee, coffay!!!! At least 3 HUGE mugs every morning. Grind up those coffee beans for the freshest, most wonderful coffee every morning! I drink it black. I don't need to add anything because it's already awesome, but if I do add something, it would have to be milk, silk, sugar and sometimes ICE.

I love my coffee and drink 2 cups with 1/2 tbsp honey in each. If I want more, I use Natural Bliss Sweet Cream and add 1-2 tbsp to 16oz. Also love lattes so I get my milk for the day but do not add any syrup.

Vansy

I add 1-2 tbsp of silk creamer. and 1-2 tsp. of sugar. Haven't switched back to doing stevia or something.

If I order out I usually get a cappuccino or a nonfat cafe misto with sugar free syrup.

But I'm down to only have 1-2 cups a day, and usually don't even finish that.

does anyone still drink coffee on their diet plan? do you use creamer and by that i mean 1 or 2 tbsp not a cup of it lol! i wanted to have coffee again with my coffee mate but only have it with a tbsp or two but wanted to get everyones input!

it probably would be very dangerous for other peoples health if i stopped !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still incorporate my nespresso, couldn't live without it! I use skinny milk and am down to half a sachet of equal. Hope to totally stop that in time. But I could never give up mu cuppa Joe :drinker:

I have one K cup per day (Nantucket blend) on the large setting with 2 Stevia blend packets and either fat free (cheaper) or sugar free flavored creamer. It's about 70 calories so I log it and enjoy it. One cup a day is all I need.
If I go to starbucks (not often) I order a tall light caramel frapucchino blended coffee, 130 calories, the perfect midday snack.

mmmmmm LOVE me some coffee. Used to overload cream and sugar but now i drink it black. Little to no calories.

MelsAuntie

At least 2 cups a day, with a tablespoon of International Delight creamer ( white chocolate macadamia) per cup. Sometimes I add a teaspoon of Stevia. Works out to just 40 cals per cup.

Ths morning I used my protein powder as my coffee creamer. A cup of coffee with 2g carb, 1g fat, and 30 grams of protein? Hell yeah.

I can't LIVE without coffee. I have like 3 a day. And I use 2 splenda and Almond Milk. The almond milk I buy is 30 calories for a CUP! a Freakin Cup! I don't even use a cup... I don't even use half a cup... get Silk Vanilla Almond Milk 30 calories. I also bought a milk foamer from Pete's Coffee so it's like a cappucino with like 10 calories

That is an awesome idea! I have never thought of the silk vanilla milk. I am going to try that.

mankiller3

I gotta have my coffee in the morning. I usually put about 1 T of Fat Free French Vanilla Creamer in mine. its only a few calories and its worth every one

colapopmusic

If you love it have it! Just cut back on something else that you are ok with not having. Like bread or cheese. I CAN NOT and WILL NOT live without my coffee with creamer. I just don't eat cheese on my daily sandwich to make up for the calories

Coffee doesn’t have that many calories. My Maxwell is 2.5 calories for a cup. I usually drink 2 cups in one setting so that’s 5 calories. It is the cream and sugar that is the problem… most flavored creamers are 30 calories for a tablespoon. You might want to look into other alternatives for that. I like the Silk Vanilla Milk idea. I am going to try that.

I want a light caramel frapucchino! LOL

lina1131

I drink 1 cup a day.

2 tsp sugar (real sugar)
2 coffee liquid containers

I work it into my calorie goal for the day (or I don't, but I don't care because i'm going to have it lol)

cmurphy252

I drink at least 2 cups/day and will NEVER give up my coffee so I just allow for the calories from my fattening creamer and sugar.

ks4e

I have coffee with Blue Diamond almond milk and sugar.

Pangea250

I would never give up my coffee. In fact, I have a Tassimo coffee maker and include lattes (usually 2) in my daily diet. It's been that way from the beginning, and I incorporate the calories into my daily plan each day. It just is what it is.

On days I don't have a latte, I use regular half & half& in my coffee. My coffee is just too important to me to allow it to taste icky. Given the choice between icky coffee and no coffee, I'd choose none.

I love plain black coffee! At about 2 calories per cup, it's really not an issue with my diet.

However - I did read recently that you should always eat something before drinking coffee, otherwise all the caffeine with no food can actually slow down your metabolism for the day, so I try to at least have a piece of toast or some cereal in the morning, otherwise I would just go to work and drink coffee for hours on end!

I think I might burn more calories than I take in when I drink coffee. I drink it black. I make it by grinding the beans in a small hand-crank grinder and then using a pour-over method. It takes me like 5-7 minutes to grind enough for a 16oz coffee and it's relatively vigorous rotations.

asp415

Sure do. With the liquid hazelnut creamer. Yummy. I have cut down though from 3 to 1 cup in the am. On weekends I may have two, but since I work out more on the weekends I allow it.

13tea

There are days I have to have it. Cut my sugar to 1/2 tsp & 2 tsp skim milk.

i can agree with a previous poster on getting flavored coffee. i needed to get away from syrups and flavored creamers when i was diagnosed as diabetic. as a sustitute i buy flavored coffee, and add a packet of truvia & skim milk. if you're by a Target that advertises "fresh grocery", they have an awesome selection of yummy flavored coffees in their Archer Farms line. !


or if you're not *that* concerned about it, just love it & log it!

I can't give up coffe, but I gave up cream and sugar.

I have gone from black coffee to a depth charge.

Depth charge: 20oz. coffee, 4oz espresso.
I then add about a half ounce of cream to smooth it out.

Delicious.

Oh you read that? Was that in the American Journal of Broscience? Maybe the Journal of Negative Results?

i can't live without my coffee, I drink it black most of the time though. you can always use lowfat milk instead of creamer.
