Just curious....

After looking at some peoples food logs, I've noticed hardly anyone logs milk / cream / sugar in their beverages.

Do people still drink tea / coffee?

Do you drink it black?

Do you drink it but not log the calories?

I drink both tea and coffee (milk in both). I count one cup of milk per day to allow for the calories.

What do other people do?

    I generally log coffee when I drink it or at least I log the sugar/cream/whatever I put in it. I may not bother logging the actual coffee since it has zero impact on calories, it just depends on my mood. I drink unsweet tea or water usually (in fact I had unsweet tea this morning) but I don't log those unless I'm feeling particularly ocd.

    I have tea with milk and coffee with milk as pre-saved recipes and leg each cup I have.

    I use full fat dairy now so those calories do add up.

    I drink my morning coffee black. I drink my afternoon iced coffee with sugar and half & half, and sometimes top it with whipped cream. Everything gets logged. :smile:

    I log my creamer. I don't log the coffee though, lol.

    Everyday, you'll see 4 - 8 T of creamer in my breakfast section. For tea, I use Splenda and I don't log either the Splenda or the tea.

    I drink my tea and coffee with sugar, but I log only the sugar packets since they have 0 calorie. So whenever you see 'sugar' on my log, you can bet that was tea or coffee.

    I have coffee everyday, with creamer and Stevia, I log the K cup, creamer and Stevia even though the Stevia has no calories.

    I have at least 2 cups of coffee daily and use organic grass fed 35% fat cream (2-3 tbsp per cup). No sugar or sweatener. I cut that *kitten* out a long time ago! I dont log often, but know that I get about 200 calories per 4 tbsp of the cream. I dont really worry about calories in and calories out, so hence the reason that I dont often log my food.

    I drink it and I log it. I use about 1 tbsp of half and half and a sweet & low in my coffee. It's barely any calories so I won't cut it out, but I try to log everything I eat to keep myself honest :)

    I generally drink it black. When I don't (in the case of soy chai lattes etc), I log it.

    If I do tea I almost always drink it plain. Chai and green tea are pretty great by theirselves.

    Coffee I usually add some coconut oil or coconut milk to.

    If you add it, log it.

    I use sugar free flavored creamer so I don't add additional sweetener/sugar and usually use less than I would if I was using milk. I log it when I drink it, but I've tried to cut back on coffee because while it keeps my appetite at bay for a while, once it comes back, it's with a vengeance!

    I drink my coffee black, have cut back my cups of tea to 4 per day (from dozens!) and log 20 calories per cuppa and drink more water with squash to make it more palatable (and log the squash too).
