Coffee?

I drink mine black. I log it as "black coffee" and IMO it isn't horrible for a person, in moderation .. as long as it isn't FULL of cream and sugar.

just Avoid cream and sugar and its fine. if you need to sweeting it alittle add skim milk

FOR SURE....I recently was drinking up to 4c of joe a day...........& currently I haven't had a cup in a few days ....I'll probably stay dry for a month......will see................

I drink two cups of coffee each day, one in the morning, one for lunch. No sugar, just a bit milk. Never had any probs with weight loss that could have been something to do with my coffee. I log it of course and still try to get my 8 cups of water a day at least.

I freaking love coffee. I drink it in the morning...whatever fits in my travel mug. I also sometimes drink it at at night! Coffee itself as far as calories is pretty much nothing...I think like 5 calories is what I log for 3 cups of coffee. I try to not use the store creamers like cofee mate unless that's all that's available. That stuff has tons of unnecessary calories and it's not worth it. Usually I use about an 1/8 of a cup of skim milk with a packet of zero calorie sweetener. I can't give up the coffee and I don't like it black (unless it's really good expensive coffee which I don't buy!) I've read that coffee makes you more deyhydrated so it's really important to get good water intake. I carry a 32 oz nalgene bottle EVERYWHERE i go. It even has a carabener on it (spelling?) so that I can hook it to my purse if I need to

I dont log my coffee although i probably should, i always over estimated my milk in my cereal (i thought it was 100ml, turns out i was actually pouring out 50-60mls) , i only use about 20mls for the 2 cups after that with sweetner.

Has to be coffee beans ground up, my stomach really doesnt like instant.

I love me some fat free half and half.....love it love it love it. and splenda. i'm not shy. skim is good too. my coffe isn't too bad. i log it. i log everything but my chewing gum. lol

cappuccino= 2-1 coffe to milk ratio
latte = 1-3 coffee to milk ration
meaning that there is more coffee in a cappuccino which means fewer calories! If you have any other questions feel free to ask!

I used to always get a latte instead of a cappu because they are the same price and I did not want to pay for foam but now I have switched t drinking cappu and it is not too different, but the calories are better!

I say log everything if you can! I drink tonnes of coffee drinks, but I make sure that they fit into my daily calories.

i have my coffee with chocolate stevia and skim milk.... i log it its not that many calories

What is stevia... and tuvia....are these sugar substitutes? Are they better than splenda?

Truvia is Stevia (it's just the brand name for it). It's a natural sweetener without calories - from the leaf of the stevia plant. You use way less of it than you would sugar. I personally don't care for the taste of it, but it's better than the calories in sugar.

off topic but as to the Truvia question,
Truvia is a big lie like the spray oils that claim 0 calories. Truvia claims that a serving size is 3/4 tsp. They say that because a full tsp would be more than 5 calories. If a serving size is less than 5 calories, they are legally allowed to claim 0. If you read the label you will find carbs. There are no 0 calorie carbs that I'm aware of. The spray oils are the same. Read the ingredients. It is oil. The serving size is claimed to be 1/3 of a second. If you are able to use that amount, then you are using less than five calories, maybe. They also lie about the amount of calories when they don't use the "less than five per serving bs".

This all happens because of corporate lobbyists "helping" to write the rules. Compact fluorescent bulbs use 1/4 the energy of incandescent bulbs but we don't let them claim that makes it 0 energy consumption. Lobbyists in the food industry have been a little more successful. These are the compromises that are made to get any labeling legislation passed at all.

I use Truvia and spray oils. I don't log my Truvia or my spray oils but I am not fooling myself by thinking they are calorie free. Sorry for posting off topic but I hate letting the lie perpetuate. Also Truvia is not stevia by another name. It has some basis in stevia but contains sugar alcohols.
