    I realized that during the week when I am on track I only drink water and coffee. My coffee has 5 calories per cup and about 90 calories of sugar. That is 95 calories twice a day, 190 calories a day out of 1200 calorie day that seems like a lot. That is about 16% of my daily calories. I am just wondering how many calories most people are drinking???

    Your profile says "I don’t want to starve or lose muscle and I want to be happy and be able to maintain it once I loss the weight so slow and steady I go." So why do you have to fit your drinks into 1200 calories?

    Because I am still trying to lose weight and I love Cake.

    If I dont work out at all in a day to lose I can only eat 1200 calorie. I normally eat about 1700calories a day even if I dont work out, my goal is around 1200.

    I try really hard not to drink my calories. Most of that stuff is sugar/carb heavy and those tend to zoom through my system and leave me hungry for more so it's best if I just avoid them. The big exception to the rule is when I hang out with my girls and have a few adult beverages. :)

    On a typical day I drink tea, water and coffee with just a splash of unsweetened almond/coconut milk (5 calories).

    Usually zero. I only drink water and zero calorie green tea. The exception is if I go out drinking - 4 shots of vodka is over 400 calories. I always try to excercise in the morning if I know I'm going to be drinking that night!

    A lot. At least two protein shakes with whole milk. Three cups of coffee. Two tees. Three nights a week 5-7 beers. Adjust how much I eat based on calories burned throughout the day to stay under calorie limit.

    I'm not drinking calaries, I only drink water. I have learned through being on weight watchers that if you bite you write, so I keep track of everything I consume.

    I've really tried to cut back on the calories from drinks. I use to drink 1 Mt. Dew M-F at work (instead of coffee) but once I started adding it all up, I've tried cutting back. When I go out for lunch/dinner, I'll get unsweet tea.

    100-300 a day.

    100 if I have a tea latte.

    300 if I also have wine.

    I haven't been logging any non-alcoholic beverages, maybe I should be :ohwell: but I average about 5 - 6 cups of black coffee a day and then soda water with fresh lime juice (as I don't particuarly enjoy drinking water), according to most of the replies so far there are little to no calories in black coffee so looks like that's the way forward.

    I prefer to eat my calories. Aside from my tasty protein shakes, I am mostly a water drinker. I'll also have the occasional unsweetened tea or diet soda. I eat 2,000 calories per day though, so if I want the occasional calorie laden drink, I can make it fit into my day.

    Well, sunday's don't count for me since I know it's destructive. It's either football beer day or drunken sunday brunch, I drink probably 1000 calories of drink. :drinker: (but I try to run lots before and afterwards)

    My normal though is about 50 calories per day for my coffee creamer or skim milk. I try to limit it to 2 cups to keep this down.

    Most days I get zero calories from beverages. I occasionally have alcohol, and I sometimes have a protein shake, but that's intentional, and I don't really consider it a "drink", at least not in the same sense.

    I drink mostly water, sometimes drink juice at lunch time if my mouth tastes funny :| how is coffee working for everyone though? i'm not a fan of black coffee but i guess it's an acquired taste if its necessary.

    I think my coffee is something like 8 calories, my creamer is 105 and my energy drink is 10.

    So, not many.

    I have around 3 coffees with skimmed milk, no sugar and 1 or 2 strong teas with skimmed milk, other than that it will be sugar free drinks. Occassionally I will have a latte or posh coffee. And at the weekend I will have wine, between 1 and 2 bottles :blushing:

    zero... I ust drink water and don't drink anything else. I learned a long time ago that beverages add empty calories. Water is a big key to ur weightloss success.

    I drink nothing but water, other than smoothies. I try to save my calories for my food.
