    I use coffemate's Sugar Free line I have found that it only has 15 per tablespoon and they are wonderful. Can't decide if sugar free hazelnut or sugar free Italian sweet cream is both so good!

    Me too the French Vanilla is the one I love now..I use two tablespoons in my coffee with two truvia. Just perfect. I burn the 30 calories running up and down the steps in the 40 mins yelling at my kid to get ready to school..LOL

    I was concerned that my most favorite creamer in the world (Coffee Mate French Vanilla) has partially hydrogenated oils (trans fat) even thought the label said 0 grams of trans fat. But the label is per serving. I know I put more than 1 tablespoon per cup, and I drink 2 cups. Anyway, I switched to Vanilla Almond milk with no trans or saturated fat, and a serving is a cup, so I know I'm not using that much. It took me a while to get used to it, but now I love it. But I didn't switch b/c of calories, I switched because of the ingredients. If I go to someone's house and they have the real deal, I savor it. I just don't want to drink it every day.

    I have been losing while using creamer. It only adds 30 delicious calories a day for me (I use the sugar free).

    I have a cup of coffee in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon but limit the creamer to one tbsp. only in each. Only 30-40 calories each and it gives me that extra little bit of flavour in my coffee. Two tbsps. a day is not going to hinder anyone's weight loss efforts. Having been drinking my coffee black for many years, this makes a nice change.

    I always put 1 tbsp of coffee creamer in my oatmeal. It does amazing things to it, haha. I just log the creamer like everything else and move on.

    There isn't one type of food/drink that will hinder weight loss. Too many calories in general will.

    Unless you are using an insane amount of creamer, no.

    i drink coffee almost every morning. In my 24 oz cup, i have the following: 16 oz of coffee (<10 calories) & use 8 oz of unsweetened vanilla almond milk (30 calories) & a tablespoon of white chocolate macadamia nut creamer (35 calories) so my whole big cup is less than 75 calories.

    Dang! That sounds delicious! Do you have to reheat your coffee after the milk? I just bought Almond milk for the first time, so I'm going to try this tomorrow!

    i understand what your saying, but i dont meausre out and never have measured my creamer.... i just pour it straight in until its about tan-white color. So i definitly know i use to much and that it could be contributing BECAUSE thats a ton of sugar right there....However this morning i did measure out my creamer for once and limited it to 1.5 tbl of creamer which is aprox 38 cals for the stuff i use and i used alittle bit of sweetner. Trust me i taste the difference. Before my coffee was totally sweet (b/c of the creamer) , now i can actually taste the coffee lol.

    >DAWN, I agree about the counting creamer cal. I used alot and when I finally counted the number of cal I was shocked to see the number of cal I was adding. So now I drink ONE cup and use milk. Seems to have helped. Since its summer its a little easier to drink less coffee in the morning.
    BTW*******Just got out of the 200's........As I saw on another post Im finally in the ONE-derland. yay


    Thats fantastic, great job for getting into the 100's :) And yes like i said, i never counted the creamer before until today and im now measuring out my creamer.

    yes, but do you measure out your creamer? Everyone doesnt seem to understand that is something i did not to. I just straight poured the creamer in my cup...i would use about half of the coffee and fill it halfway in my mug and then do my creamer for the other half of the mug...and doing this 2 maybe 3 times a day, is not healthy or good for you. Too much sugar in my opinon. That is why i started measuring today and am only using 1.5 tbl of creamer because i found that with a little sweetner its actually not to bad and i still get that vanilla flavor that i like for only 38 cals whereas im sure i was using creamer before that could possibly lead to 200 cals maybe more. And the sugar adds up to.

    I love my creamer, particularly the White Chocolate Macadamia flavored creamer. I'm going to try using the unsweetened vanilla almond milk and just adding one tbsp of the creamer to my big travel mug and see how that goes.

    is the mini moo cup creamer in stores?
    Yep, they are! They come in packs of 24 in the coffee aisle where all the other non-dairy creamers are and they usually run about $2.50. They're very tasty and are only 10 calories per serving - about half a tablespoon of half and half. I don't know, I'm still enjoying my morning coffee and have cut out almost 5000 calories a month by making this switch (160 calories per day) from sugar and cream to Spenda and half-and-half, and I'm still able to have a yummy morning coffee, so I think it's worth it.

    If you miss the different flavors, I recommend flavored coffee. Negligible calories and just as good. I have a Keurig and get vanilla, hazelnut, mocha and other flavors and they're pretty good (stay away from the apple and pumpkin spice coffees, though - they're awful and my old office couldn't give 'em away!).

    Unless the creamer alone is throwing you very far over your calorie allowance, no. There is not a magical food that makes you gain weight if you are still eating at a calorie deficit.

    instead of creamer, use some skim milk and a little vanilla protein.

    I'm doing this^^ in the morning!
